This is a Dead Horse issue IMO. We've been over the nuts and bolts and the corruption in governing, granted. I've been to FH, MDR, Newport, LB, and most boat shows since I can remember. I love boating and diving, and wish all recreational fishers good luck on their catch's. I don't like fish, (personal) and Bugz are a straight up nasty protein source IMO (Genus Cochroach) But good with Browned Butter ;~)

This is not an Economy thing, think bigger...OCEAN LIFE. Most the groups you mention will benefit (IMO) from MPA's. What is the impact on them? They can still Anchor, Boat, Kayak, Free Dive (My Fav), Paddle, Pass Through with game onboard, Etc... I don't care much for the Sport Fishers (Been there, done that) "TALKING" about sustainable fisheries", of course they care, but REAL steps need to be taken to ensure it. We're all law abiding citizens.

Much Respect Halibug Bro!
