F2F - We need your help

nobody's proposed one? your kidding right??
do some research and you will see the ocean management task force has proposed amendment 13 to close over 800 square miles of the bank.
they have been proposing this since 1999.and pushing very hard.
it's like a long game of risk with them, they casualy put members of there group in certain places, like the stellwagen bank advisory council,the ocean management task force.etc..

they use terms like ocean wilderness and marine preserves.marine protected areas. aka no fishing zones

the mass. freedom to fish act has no bearing on stellwagen anyway. only state waters

this is no joke
there is pending legislature in n.y. that will close 20% of n.y. water as well.
they got beat in r.i. and now there aiming for mass.
the ocean conservacy is tring to reach its goal of closing 5% of the entire coast of the u.s.
why dont you give them your favorite fishing spot so this nonsence is put to an end, and we can fish wherever else we want to "kill as many fish as we want to"??

go to one of the hearings and sit accross the table from these guys and you will see first hand for yourself that this definitly is no joke, it's coming!!! i have.

recreational anglers are not the ones raping the oceans, and killing everything in site, thats the fight between the comm's and the rec's, but thats not the issue.
these enviro's want to close the ocean! and take the fight and the ring away.
not put limmits on gear. or size restrictions.
they don't have any research to back up these closings because they don't have any research vesels.
they just want it closed! permanantly.
"for spiritual and intrinsic value"quote from there website.

the freedom to fish act simply states they will have to prove that bye trolling for tuna on top, that it destroys the scollop beds underneath.

people who burry there head in the sand and say "it will never happen" are fools!!!!!!!!
go ahead and attend one of the meetings and you will see for yourself this is no "hysreria"
you'll even get to see mike flarity crawl in on his knuckles holding his briefcase with his teeth, or should i say tooth, like he does for every other meeting

.
check my spelling would you?
