Michelle Malkin posted an article at the Washington Examiner yesterday about the 'National Ocean Council', a 27-member panel created by President Obama in late July.
The article states:
"The panel will have the power to implement "coastal and marine spatial plans" and to ensure that all executive agencies, departments and offices abide by their determinations. The panel has also been granted authority to establish regional advisory committees that overlap with existing regional and local authorities governing marine and coastal planning."
This is not the way to manage oceans. Even Chuck Schumer objected. The article states:
"Even New York Sen. Charles Schumer slammed the administration's junk science-based fishing limits at a meeting this week between NOAA's Lubchenco and Long Island recreational fisherman. Draconian regulations, he said, according to the New York Post, "put the industry on death's door.""
Please follow the link above for further details on who is on the panel. Also keep in mind that the legislative branch of our government never got to vote on this measure. This really is no way to run a government.
