The Clean Water and Environmental Protection Act are as much responsible for the rebuild of striped bass as anything; of course the Chevron decision at SCOTUS (both times) added a unique new wrinkle to the government’s interpretation. The Endangered Species Act is a good one, but I have to say the NJDEP’s new interpretation of ESA in state rulemaking should be a huge cause for concern with any coastal angler. The Marine Mammal Protection Act was sorely needed, but this new speed restriction could’ve been rectified by use of technological advances in the world of fishing and boating (which is ultimately why that federal rulemaking bailiwick ended as it did). And coastal fishermen were ultimately responsible for the implementation of the 1976 Magnuson Stevens Act, but the ACL/AM requirements that came along in 2007 really put the recreational fishing community in quite the precarious position. Hence, the recreational reform initiative that I spoke about I this week’s video fishing forecast - supported by NOAA Fisheries and ultimately upheld by a U.S. District Court judge back in September - that is expected to sunset at this year, which could use the public’s backing. This TMF supports sane, sensible and scientifically supported regs; what I personally can’t condone is ideologues looking to weaponize established law to restrict public access. As for the recreational reform initiative, that court case decided that it did NOT circumvent established federal fisheries law www.thefisherman.com/article/editors-log-case-closed/ -JH

@thefishermanmagazine will be interesting to see the incoming admin's efforts to further de-reg clean water efforts
Going to the game, huh? Must be nice cold too.
It was FREEZING, but a TERRIFIC way to spend a snowy Sunday! -JH
