The Obama administration has announced that it will accept no more public input for a new federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing some of the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.

Fishing industry insiders have negotiated for months with officials at the Council on Environmental Quality and bureaucrats on the task force. These angling advocates have reportedly come to suspect that public input into the process was a charade from the beginning, according to an ESPN report.
