There is no reasonable explanation that brooklyn (basically) has been singled out. They built those really nice piers in Sheepsheadbay and now they will eventually force all of the boats to relocate or just decomission. I say this cause without customers and money they will not survive. Please someone help us all, no one here is criminal we just want to be able to drive down Emmons ave and look at the boats, go fishing with our families, enjoy the little pleasures we have left. Stop hurting the working people!!!!! @SB/PB Civic, This is sad very sad they are killing all that we know and love. There is no reasonable explanation that brooklyn (basically) has been singled out.

Good luck proving this! I could be wrong but i think the reason for the yet stiffer regs. is so that the fleets be forced

They have turned Brooklyn into something else.

It's a violation of our fishermen's rights. Ten years ago, fish population numbers were down and limited were warranted, but not anymore. Regulations should be maintained, not made stricter. Add to this that the state looks like it's going to impose a saltwater fishing license, and it spells big trouble for all fishing fleets on Long Island, but especially what's left of Sheepshead Bay fleet. Then add to that the fact that no one is willing to take responsibility for dredging the mouth of Sheepshead Bay (The Atlantis bottoms out when it enters and leaves!) and you have a whole big mess that no one either cares about or is willing to stick their neck out to straighten out.
