Steelheader69 not lookin for an argument just a discussion. From what I can find in the reg's, RCWs,and WACs WDFW juridiction only covers fishing activity....such as fishing from a motorizedor and/or a nonmotorised floating device in specific waters. They have zero jurisdiction over boat traffic of any kind except where they may control thru ownership of shorelines or in the case of habit or ESA concerns. Would WDFW be able to restrict motorized boat birdwatchers on the nooche....don't see how? Personnally I find it sad that it's come to this. Anyway the only relevant reg I could find is a mandate to maintain 'orderly fisheries." Again not looking for an argument ...just a discussion.
Peace
