That is for state parks. Breezy is a federal park.

I purchased a NYS Resident Fishing Permit for $5, senior rate. It is good for a year. I purchased it online last May and printed it out at home. It came with a parking permit. The process was quite simple. It was purchased from NYSDEC. I also purchased a NYC Water Supply Lands Access Permit from NYCDEP. Jack Rothman

It is not all that easy to buy a fishing permit, so I have been told. I had considered buying one. I would like to know how our supportive organizations are working on this problem. We do pay taxes. I live in Manhattan. Some of us are nervous to ride bicycles in the street with all the traffic. I am told we need to wait until April for the new permit process. I am glad the issue is being brought to a head. On Thu, Feb 3, 2022 at 8:23 PM Ardith Bondi <ard...@earthlink.net> wrote: But, isn’t the permit for fishermen only, or is there a permit for birders?

The only people who can park legally in the meantime are existing 2021 permit holders. It seems unjust that one can only park with a valid permit, which is not available for purchase at this time.

It's not like there's a bus that goes there either. I bike there sometimes but I realize that's not an option for everyone. I know some birding groups are working on this but it never hurts to write to Gateway management and the local Congressperson, Gergory Meeks. It's absurd that people who take (fish) are given a higher priority than people who watch (birds).

Yes, they changed the rules this year, and you need the permit. Audubon, Linnaean and other groups are fighting this unjust regulation. Gordon doubts the new rule can be changed this season. It also applies to the fisherman`s lot at the hotel area, part of Fort Tilden. If there is any action to be taken, we will know about it from the organizations representing us. I know. It is not right. It is also about money. The fishermen they say are complaining they have no parking space. From my experience that is not true. There are always lots of empty spots. I was planning to go, but we cannot. Maybe one member of the group can drop the others off and then if another driver in the car. The original driver comes back, and the second driver gives the first driver a little time on the beach. The rest can go back to the main area, and then later pick up the original driver., complicated, but possible, Bird different areas and take turns.
