Heated debate over who and what should be allowed on the Delaware River splashes into the public view. JoeHoldenCBS3 has the story.
“We’re not trying to keep people out of the water altogether,” Himber said. “We just want them to stay away from the commercial shipping, the main navigation channels where the large ships operate and the regulated marine terminals.”“I have not found it to be a problem whatsoever,” Schooner North Wind Captain Scott Hughes said.
“Any group of kayakers is pretty well regulated and they don’t have the crazies coming out here and trying to do it themselves,” boater Gregg Marselles said. And in a wait a minute moment, the Delaware Riverkeeper bristled at any suggestion the mere presence of recreational activities on the river should somehow be subject to debate.“They are still suggesting that those who are enjoying the river for recreation are somehow doing something wrong or are somehow compromising the other users of the river,” Delaware Riverkeeper Maya van Rossum said.
