I haven't done anything with the petition yet because I am not sure of the bottom paint issue. I have never heard of this before. I know there will be some sort of tactic to keep this off of the water front as they are going to rebuild the Everett Waterfront. The bottom of the petition is signed "Concerned Citizens Against the SBX." I am not against it at this point. If it is not healthy for the fish just up close, then move it to an area that doesn't effect them. I have to agree as there are usually lots of barges out there and boats in the marina that I am sure have the same bottom paint. I will email the guy who sent it and ask where he got the info. I do not want to be a messenger for bad info with a hidden agenda.
