Could proposed anti-fishing regulations affect powerboating?
The Obama administration has recently ended the comment period on proposed regulations that would severely restrict or eliminate recreational fishing on America's coasts and inland lakes & waterways. Given the gaggle of environmental groups very loudly pushing for this, I find it no great stretch for them, and their enablers in the administration, to decide recreational boating, especially powerboating, has as little redeeming value and as much environmental impact as recreational fishing.

You thought it was just crazy in the USA. This is taken from a local newspaper, the MD. Independent,
Laws gone crazy
In Switzerland today, it is illegal to practice catch and release fishing. The reason being it's too cruel.
Last month, Europe's only pet lawyer took an angler to court representing a dead pike. It seems the fisherman took over 10 minutes to land his prize, and that constituted torture says the dearly departed pike's legal mouthpiece.
Over there in that land of yodeling, discrete bankers, fine chocolates and those versatile army knives, it's also against the law to tie a horse in a stall, put one parakeet in a cage or a single pig in a pen for that's considered solitary confinement.
In 2013, another law kicks in wherein all dog owners all have to take a training course.
Swiss dog breeders are for the new laws, but the farming community say it's a bit over the top and unnecessary.
Lordy, I'm just glad I don't live over there.

Getting back to the subject of powerboats, I think the recent EPA engine regulations are only the opening salvo. It is obvious that activists who think that fish should have dominion over man would have no problem with a de facto or outright ban on powerboats. They are owned by, you know, those people. The unenlightened, the sufferers of false consciousness. If only they knew, they'd never take pleasure in activities that lead to our destruction. It is fortunate we have activists to offer us indulgences and the path to righteousness.

If you are a fisherman, you might look at joining the FRA. they have been putting together a good lobby against the fisheries management with their false reporting. I am a member as most of my fishing is done of the coast of Georgia.
