We almost got shut down here in the Keys last week but we fought back and NOAA actually went the other way and opened up 123 miles of previously closed water.
The NOAA big wig,Dr. Roy Crabtree, was asked why he was shutting down the Keys when there was no oil samples or documentation and he said he was being pro-active. Typical of the Socialists destroying our govt. at all levels. Unfortunately this guy has been around for a while.
They hate fishermen, love divers but would much rather close down the entire Keys to people and just make a huge wildlife preserve out of it strictly for their enjoyment, other govt. types and the DBM.
Thee is a solution afte Nov. all govt. budgets need to be closely scrutinized.
They spoiled two or more weeks of revenue in coastal resorts by panicking. The oil is only today beginning to reach the beaches.
