The Obama administration&#8217;s neon green radicals are also training their sights on the deep blue seas. The president&#8217;s grabby-handed bureaucrats have been empowered through executive order to seize unprecedented control from states and localities over &#8220;conservation, economic activity, user conflict and sustainable use of the ocean, our coasts and the Great Lakes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have tried and failed to pass &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; federal oceans management legislation five years in a row. The so-called &#8220;Oceans 21&#8221; bill, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Sam Farr of California, went nowhere fast. Among the top reasons: bipartisan concerns about the economic impact of closing off widespread access to recreational fishing. The bill also would have handed environmentalists another punitive litigation weapon under the guise of &#8220;ecosystem management.&#8221; Instead of accepting defeat, the green lobby simply circumvented the legislative process altogether.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn late July, President Obama established a behemoth 27-member &#8220;National Ocean Council&#8221; with the stroke of a pen. Farr gloated: &#8220;We already have a Clean Air Act and a Clean Water Act. With today&#8217;s executive order, President Obama in effect creates a Clean Ocean Act.&#8221; And not a single hearing needed to be held. Not a single amendment considered. Not a single vote cast. Who gives a flying fish about transparency and the deliberative process?
