The majority of the 150-200 people there seemed to be sports fishermen/sport fishing tour boat owners. At least they were the loudest. It was a very emotional, very negative group. The FNG people could barely keep the meeting on track. Audience members were shouting out accusations over perceived wrongs they had endured over the past 30 years. I ran into some dive buddies there, we agreed that it felt like anyone who voiced anything other than absolute opposition to anything proposed by FNG would be lucky to walk out of the place unscathed.
