stripers in fed waters

I was told the EPO's who do have jurisdiction in all state waters did a number on charter boats in the EEZ also. State waters extend to the 200 mile limit does it not.

State waters only goes 3 miles. There are areas where it could run 5-6 miles out.

The enviromental police(the state) cut a deal a few years back with NOAA to police beyond the 3 mile limit and they also did this with the coast guard, coast guard was always in a rescue mode prior to 9/11. NOAA had no way to patrol the coast or federal waters on their own.
