If you haven’t been following the saga of the Marine Life Protection Act and the proposed ocean closures now is a good time to start. There was a meeting held yesterday with up to 1,000 people attending and voicing their opinions. Commercial and sport fishermen are worried closures would hurt their trade/sport. Environmentalists are making themselves heard. And others are only worried how we are going to pay for enforcement. Here are a few articles to read so you can catch up on all the drama.
