Yep, here it is again, "other people’s right to make a living."

Commercial fishermen have a right to make a living fishing.:eek2:

Is that the truth Brian?

It's not that they don't like sea food.

They just don't want Maryland commercial waterman harvesting it. Or any commercial waterman for that matter.
The question was whether anyone has the "right" to a particular way to earn a livelihood, not whether a commercial waterman (is there such a thing as a non-commercial waterman?) can or should harvest.

According to the State of Maryland.....YES!

If a commercial waterman is by all definitions a "commercial waterman," then by all means he has a "right" to make a living. As well as an electrician, a plumber, logger, farmer etc.

But, that "question" arising on this board does not suprise me one iota.

What is your profession Bill? Do you have a "right" to make a living in your profession?

I have not had a right to make a living in my previous professions of forester, hydrologist, environmental scientist, or in my current position as a consultant. The electrician, plumber, logger, farmer, etc. are in the same boat. You pick a field, and if the circumstances are favorable (economic, legal), you might a living at it, but nowhere do I see it as a right.

I'm always interested in learning new things. Could you point me in the right direction to get more information on this. Thanks.

Well since this thread is going nowhere, I loved those VA oysters! Even if they had been MD Oysters, I would have also loved em! After all, I paid big tax $ to subsidize the MWA to put and take the damn things. All in the name of oyster recovery. I don't have a problem with subsidizing watermen, I have a problem with it being called oyster recovery. That would be like calling farm subsidies, farm restoration.

Again, where does a Comm or rec lic guarantee them to make a living?
