Petition to save Blue Heron Blvd Bridge from Collectors

[Dr. Doug Ebersole]

Eric Cheng, owner or Wetpixel (Wetpixel.com :: Underwater Photography and Videography), in conjunction with several dive operators in West Palm Beach (Pura Vida Divers, Narcosis, Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures) has written a petition in hopes of saving the Blue Heron Blvd Bridge from collectors. There are a lot of us here who love diving there. If you are interested in reading and/or signing the petition, it is currently on the Wetpixel home page above or you can link to it here:

Well, I signed it, now what else can we do to keep the ding bats from ruining a really great place to dive?

OMG,
you can come and play in MY backyard, but I don't want you to take anything.
I thought that people would need a license to collect or for fishing in Florida.
But hold on a minute, that's not enough regulations, I now want my backyard to be special and make those licenses not count.
I'm sure that Billy Bob knows this special place by Commercial blvd and comes with his petition to make it illegal to collect and/or fish.
And Joan knows this part of Fort Lauderdale Beach and before we turn around we have lots of petitions to make it illegal to collect or fish within the waters of the USA.
And don't forget the trim and buoyancy police, the once stepping on corals make a lot more damage then the once collecting them.
I want a petition that you have to proof your ability of trim and buoyancy before you're entering the waters.

Great place to dive when the ocean is a little too wild, or even when it is not. Love the Bridge. We did see a fish type vac truck, with a long vac hose on the bridge a couple of years ago. I thought that was kind of strange. Way too easy to get fish store fish. Felt like cutting his hose!
