I'm sure there was pressure from all directions to stop this one. I'm sure all the fuss we raised in opposition to this (letters, emails, phone calls) didn't go unnoticed. Having the DEP oppose this bill went a long way.

As far as the Bill to generate more COs is concerned, wouldn't it be a riot if having more COs made the CLA obsolete.

I hope we pay attention to other local non-fishing related issues too because stuff like this slip by all the time.
