The main proponent of a “marine sanctuary” that would include some 12,500 acres of northeastern Monmouth County waters found himself pounded by wave after wave of criticism Wednesday night.

Mr. Van Hemmen should have been well aware before the meeting that many of us have little if any trust with those in congress, nor those who are pussy-footing around the issue and implications of essentially creating a “marine sanctuary” …especially when this area is now freely open to ALL to use responsibly.
Thankfully a great turnout for the meeting has brought attention to this issue right here in our area.
