My life without fishing

[F.stop]

i live in a coastal town wildwood crest nj. i own a home that my grandfather built, i own a boat and spend about $15,000 per year on boating/fishing, i work in the marine industry i work for sea tow cape may. my life is tied into fishing/boating/ocean.....this is my culture and the culture of coastal towns!

take away fishing and the mere ability to use the ocean. i lose everything first my job in an industry that is enduring tough times, second my home can't sell my house poor market....without a job i go on unemployment till that runs out then i will prob. lose my job and third for what little my boat is worth because it can't be used for fishing try to sell it to save my home.....but will there be any jobs in my town?? prob.not. will the u.s. goverment create job in my town prob. not.

i think we all see the point here this is my reality and millions of other people like myself. i do not want a hand out, i do not want the gov. to take care of me.......i just want my freedom back!!
