As a member of the DMF MA Recreational Registy Steering Committee (aka the committee developing the Salt Water License recomendations to the legislature) I can tell you that an Artificial Reef Program and the specific allowance for license money to pay for these is in the recomended language.

Numby is once again correct as the MA Ocean Plan will have to allow artificial reefs for this to happen. I will make sure I deliver that request at the "stakeholder" rep meeting next week.
