Public Trust: Public Trust Access Issues in Loch Arbor, NJ

The new DEP ruling that Finchaser was talking about is one of the biggest things to happen to Public Access for shore fishermen and other beach users in the past few years.

Many don't understand the significance of this reading. Finchaser did, that's why he posted it up. http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.gif

What it does, according to the ruling, is give shore towns carte blanche to restrict fishing and other access as they see fit.

The only way to fight this is to institute a series of lawsuits to fight for our access. Since most fishermen have very little time to devote to these issues, there's very little chance of a court case, and those town officials and DEP architects of this plan know it.

Feel free to post any comments regarding Loch Arbor in this thread.

It will only get worse before enough people get upset enough to try to combine forces and fight it.

Welcome to the current reality. :2flip:
