RI DEM has a joint enforcement agreement with the federal government. That's why it was DEM that conducted the sweep out by the sub buoy a couple of years ago. Even last year most of the enforcement that I saw was being done by DEM. While I do not support Zeldin's actions, I also don't think its going to have much of an impact on enforcement in the EEZ as long as DEM continues to be the primary enforcer. Zeldin's maneuver should have zero impact on the DEM.
