People passionate about and interested in seaplanes, might care to know that the State Parks Division of New Mexico has proposed to close all State Lakes to seaplanes and float-planes. Comments on the amendment are accepted until October 31 2012.
Seaplane Pilots Association has issued a "Call To Action" and we issued a member alert including several news releases to gain momentum in getting NMSPD to change course on this and work with the stakeholders and associations on common sense solutions. NMSPD is mainly concerned but unfortunately not very well educated about AIS (Invasive Species) and Safety.
We are now soliciting letters to NMSPD and also to Governor Martinez (who recently declared September as the "General Aviation Appreciation Month") have gone out. At this point, we are trying to get as many letters in opposition to this ban sent to NMSPD as possible. Several ideas for paraphrasing of comments can be found via this link , or in AVwebs news flash.
Short & Sweet or Long & Exhaustive - Everything in Support of Seaplanes Matters!
Time is of the essence.

Proposal/ Amendment: 19.5.2.26 (Page 6): http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SPD/documents/19.5.2 NMAC.pdf
Thanks for any help!
