Reef moratorium

Lyin Too · 01-06-2010, 10:58 AM

I heard there was a moratorium on private reef deployment. Is this true?

There was a rumor going around that Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties were working on a deal with the Navy and Air force to stop reef deployments, but I haven't seen anything firm on it. Wouldn't surprise me though.

Just out of curiosity? What does the Air Force and Navy have to do with reef deployments? Are they dropping reefs?

They're afraid that increased public use of the Gulf over there will interfere with the ranges at Eglin.

Two parts to this one:

1) No need for reefs if we are not allowed to go fishing anymore by NMFS.

2) People will continue to illegally dump whatever they want to in the gulf. Increasing restrictions will only make people do it more....
