Ken,

Just curious and Understanding your comment, how will the state meet
the federal requirements of Magnuson - Stevens for "creation of a
national saltwater angler registry".
from the act "(g) RECREATIONAL FISHERIES.—

(1) FEDERAL PROGRAM.—The Secretary shall establish and implement a
regionally
based registry program for recreational fishermen in each of the 8
fishery management
regions. The program, which shall not require a fee before January 1,
2011, shall provide
for—
(A) the registration (including identification and contact information) of
individuals
who engage in recreational fishing—
(i) in the Exclusive Economic Zone;
(ii) for anadromous species; or
(iii) for Continental Shelf fishery resources beyond the Exclusive
Economic Zone;
and
(B) if appropriate, the registration (including the ownership, operator,
and
identification of the vessel) of vessels used in such fishing.

(2) STATE PROGRAMS.—The Secretary shall exempt from registration
under the
program recreational fishermen and charter fishing vessels licensed,
permitted, or registered
under the laws of a State if the Secretary determines that information
from the State program
is suitable for the Secretary’s use or is used to assist in completing
marine recreational
fisheries statistical surveys, or evaluating the effects of proposed
conservation and
management measures for marine recreational fisheries. "

Will Rhode Island defer to the Federal Progra or attempt to chnage their
constitution.

Thanks Ken,
Cheer's
Paul M.
