Two talking points on fees...
$10 is the camel's nose under the tent. More to come.
If more folks put ID stickers on their kayaks, the MP would know where to start looking, and for whom, the dozen or so times a year they find empties in the water. This may have muted the calls for formal registration.
I know several people who have multiple kayaks because 2nd 3rd 4th... hand they are cheap. The will moan about registering all of them. I would too but since I don't have one, I would like them to pay something for the services they are using IE state ramps and access points, parks, rescue and patrol services. Especially the MP chasing down the GoFast that wake-washed their kid in violation of no-wake laws and common sense.
