Without getting too political, this is something we should all check out. Please save the political comments or remarks about the President and keep this about boating. Thank you in advance.

Think your favorite fishing spot is safe from ever being closed down? Think again.
President Obama could permanently close a massive area of the Pacific Ocean to recreational fishing, setting a bad precedent that could affect waterways across the country. Speak out now, before this proposal is finalized, and help protect recreational fishing and boating. (http://boatingunited.com/app/take-action?engagementId=55783&ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxHRk1tEeMgO2Orr0bZTcVWjDqPRY lXQLVv5uBL8suvFyOlTkhXUbwqY0nYKmAhJvzURL6apuYvEBmv owpUbGUMw&lp=0)
The President is proposing to greatly expand the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in the south-central Pacific Ocean, but anglers are left in the dark about whether recreational fishing will be allowed to occur. At over 700,000 square miles, this would become the world’s largest marine protected area and pose a direct threat to the recreational fishing and boating industries.
What’s at stake? If recreational fishing is banned in these areas, the President would be sending the alarming message that at any time, and without justification, he and future Presidents can close huge areas of public waters to the public.
Don't wait. The comment dealine is August 15. Click here to send a message to President Obama urging him not to restrict access out on the water.

Remember, this is about much more than closing a remote part of the Pacific Ocean. If recreational fishing is banned there, who knows where it could end? Please do your part to ensure that this terrible precedent isn’t set.
