G'Day,

I'm not a US citizen so may not be too appropriate to comment. ( But of
course I will anyway:~) )

In Oz we occasionally find similar circumsrances eg a current move by a
power boat association to ban kayaks from Sydney Harbour. It pays to
actively make input to the authorities. We work through our local club to
use our State club organisations to try and prevent this sort of thing or
limit it to sensible restrictions.

Jet skiers in Sydney failed to do this and have lost right of access to all
of Sydney harbour.

Pays to be proactive.

All the best, PeterO
