Yes. I'm gathering all the email addresses for state land office. I want to send them a map from there site with areas marked as state water that myself and many others have been ran out of.

This has been brought up on here before. The map states that its just a reference. At the same time landowners have been wrong also, but when the cop gets called if you don't have a map in hand i'm sure they will side with the landowner.

That's correct. I pointed that out not long ago. That's one reason I want to email the map to them and ask how we as sportsman are supposed to know our boundaries. Just as land owners have rights, we do too.

I'd be willing to bet if these private land owners would be responsible for footing the bill for marsh restoration instead of getting federal funding to do so, they would be more than happy to let sportsman fish "their" marsh. After all it is our tax dollars that revert back here for costal restoration. Just my 2c...

"The ownership of mineral rights is also at stake, as are big chunks of local tax rolls," he said. "The divergent interests of private landowners, local governments and the state in a very dynamic landscape makes for a confusing situation" ..

This is one of the main reasons why private land owners are protecting their land. Every acre lost to the state means lost oil revenues. Coincidently this leaves the state with even less incentive to save coastal marshes.

I've mentioned this also in the past. It seemed reasonable until someone mentioned to me that a majority (I'm sure over 75%) of the coast is privately owned. If only the public lands were restored this would leave way to much of the coast even more venerable.
