First, hats off to the governor for shutting down the beaches in this very difficult time. Those of us over 70 particularly appreciate the caution.
I hope his office will issue new rules, however, to allow vehicles with surf tags to fish.
These can meet safety requirements by limiting each vehicle to either one or two fishing-licensed persons.
Further, all vehicles once parked and fishing must be separated by at least 20 yards.
Fishing for many of us is exercise and important to our physical and mental health. Please implement these or similar changes.

To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools. Templates, form letters and letters containing language similar to other submissions will not be published.
