As some of you know, I participate on an advisory panel for RI DEM Enforcement. The upcoming meeting has two primary topics open for discussion and I want to get your opinions please.
First item: Dockside sales. RI has historically not pressed hard on dockside sales. "Looking the other way" is not the words of choice but it has been a low burner item. The question is, what do you think about dockside sales from licensed commercial people? Keeping mind that this has been a long time practice in RI.
Item two: Up for discussion is how to regard herring in Pens both on land and on shore and how should the account towards possesion. One school of thought has possesion, for ease of enforcement, at whatever the daily legal take limit is - say currently 12 fish. Other schools of thought have that if you stock up for a few days (or weeks) and have a whole bunch but you are working within your daily legal take.
So please, HONEST OPEN discussion - no flame war, just state your points please
THanks,
John
