are they are recommending are deeply flawed -- like this fior exsample ---to be a "state approved atchie" you must belong to the certain "archie" group ---one of their recent by law changes of the group is that "no members shall work for anyone who sells artifacts" or they will be kicked out from membership ( so since salvors sell their part of the finds to make money from their work --- these PRA archies can not work for them--- if they do sign up to do so--- it means they will be kicked out of the RPA --thus you not on the "approved" list anymore cuz your not a member of the PRA anymore --so no permit ) --it blocks salvors from getting the "required" approved archie need to sign on to their project to get permits to work --there are several other nasty flaws in to the rule changes the state is offering all of which could be used as a means to deny permits -- about 50 salvors took time off of the hunting season to attend this rules meeting in tallahassee set at 1 pm on a thursday during the middle of their season --(I attended it) the state then read "e mails" that was to "carry the same weight as those attending voices did" --there was read into the record 93 "e mails" from various archies (several from "overseas" ---many out of state )--saying to stop all treasure hunting altogether--- so now they can say --well the "numbers for / against it is 50 to 93 so the public is FOR getting rid of treasure hunting "--- we need to let the state know how we "the people" really feel on this matter. thank you Ivan
 

I agree totally.There is a link and address on the shipwreck forum to send in
your comments.Remember,this affects everybody.It starts with the salvors,
then the MDers are next.Don't let a small group of narrow minded people
take away your rights to life ,liberty ,or the persuit of happiness.This all
started years ago with a law supposedly to protect Indian mounds from
looting-in affect grave robbing.Once they got their foot in the door,they
misused those laws to garnish more power,and form their own dynesty.
The power of the law and government used against the people.Threatening
anybody not in thier group with a felony on their record,their rights revoked,
and their reputation ruined for life.And for what?This has to be stopped.
Stand up and be counted,or lose more of your rights.Good luck,Joe
