Yes and no, we as a community that gets involved (usually, or on rare occasions ) could/should be doing more to lean on DEM/CRMC for making access available and properly known, but what percentage of knuckleheads are not members of these groups or are not somehow informed by these groups? 80%? As a "group" I'm willing to bet the 75% DON'T know or care about preserving access and 20% purely don't give a rat's ass and would just as soon make noise and comotion and trash because they care about nobody but themselves.

Many of these same people check out the reports and maggies or bleed off a tackle shop purely for spot & report info as its their devine right to be there and damn the rest.

DEM is a decent organization hamstrung by lack of resources, CRMC is an organization that will side with the landowners more often than not than the general public or what is in the interests of John Q Public. With CRMC, if I had a house on the water and wanted a dock I would likely have a survey report state that I would likely infringe on potential eelgrass restoration programs in the 22nd century. If I was loaded with clout, numeric or political, they'd be tripping over themselves recommending piledriving barges.
