This just in from RISSA:

Just received a call from Catherine Sparks, Chief of DEM Forest
Environment, saying that a regulation change has just been filed,
amending the regulation ban on felt waders, removing the reference to "marine waters".

The law will apply only to fresh waterways.

I thanked her for her willingness to listen to the saltwater fishing
community, and she credits her boss, Director Janet Coit, for agreeing
to make the changes.

DEM will issue a press release in a day or two.

I'd like to thank everyone who took time to send a letter/email to the RIDEM.

Regards,
DZ
