I must take exception to your statement "These reefs are supported and paid for by the license fees that we and the sport fishermen pay. They are not developed and supported by the divers that only take pictures and do not hunt, they do not pay fees to support these programs." Those fees you pay only partly cover the cost. Federal and State taxes help pay part, and the Yukon wouldn't be there if it weren't for fundraising and lots of volenteer hours. I don't think any of the artificial reefs would be there if the only funding came from fishing fees.
