I am in favor of strict regulation of vessels carrying passengers for hire across the
bar channels. The people who go on these trips put their lives in the hands of the
operator and there should be government oversight for them.
With regards to other commercial and recreational vessels, I don't think it is the
governments role to tell them when they can or cannot transit a given waterway.
There should be extensive information and notification provided for all mariners but
they should be free to make decisions based upon their own expertise and
equipment.
In this time of fiscal troubles more regulations and government interference is the
opposite of what is needed.
