Comes from the oceanic part of their name, they set the rules and regulations for pelagic species that spend the vast majority of their life in federal waters greater than 3 miles from shore.
I get the federal regulations on a fish that travels from Mexico to Canada over the course of the year but apparently somebody told NOAA they are God because some of the shit they have been pulling the last few years is just absurd.
Just look at the whole 10 knot speed limit debacle, they honestly thought they would just be able to limit every vessel over 34 ft on the entirety of the east coast to 10 knots for 8 months of the year. Not only that but they wouldn’t even go after you on the water, they fully intended to track your AIS and send you massive fines for violating their rule.
There wasn't any money in just doing the science, so they decided to branch out into extortion.
Just that simple.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The federal fosheroes should have 1 simple fucking job.
Keep foreign cuntries out of federal waters......but they don't.
