BayesJ,

I checked the link on my end and it works just fine. Don't know what to tell you.

C3(T1) Where deemed appropriate by the FWC, identify opportunities
for design and placement of artificial reefs to rebuild or
enhance fish stocks in zoned managed areas, or marine
reserves;
C3(T2) Where deemed appropriate by the FWC, identify opportunities
for the development of marine reserves intentionally designed
around the use of artificial reefs in areas not currently used for
bottom fishing to serve as the primary hard bottom habitat;

There was talk of something like this a while back. I think a gentleman from PCola was circulating an idea of small management areas that would be restricted from fishing off the coast of every Florida county that bordered water. If I remember correctly these zones would be built only in areas where there was not already natural and artificial reefs (sand bottom only). Seemed like a good idea.


E5(T5) Develop guidelines or code of ethics to help reduce user
conflicts (charter vs. recreational).

Hmmm.
