The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hearing to address public concerns was held on June 17, to a packed house in Brunswick, Ga. As you may recall from (the June 12 Courier), I reported that HB201 authorizes DNR to establish rules and a fee system for anchoring in Georgia’s coastal waters. If one message was made clear it was that both sides on any issue must be fully vetted for effective and reasonable legislation to be passed.
