And pollution laws.
Here in Florida, we have regulations up the wazoo but not a single
prosecutor to enforce them. The major damage to the marine environment
is from municipal discharge of nitrogen-rich effluent directly onto the
reefs, not from fisheries or industry.
What money there is goes to yet still more additional redundant study
groups, not enforcement.
Discouraging.
