NavList:

The case was discussed on another list. It turned out that the rulling was about flooded over land. Not tidal. In other words, of your land was flooded over you still owned it and any one who floated a boat over it to fish  without your permission was trespassing.

Least that's the way I understood it.

This is how it was also explained to me earlier today by someone I know who is a lawyer. Whether that’s really the case or not remains to be seen in the enviro-political scene and the interpretation of laws of this country at the present time. If not viewed as above the ruling sure flies in the face of  traditional rights pertaining to waterways.
