He said the live-fire training range under construction at Ritidian, and its associated surface danger zone, diminishes fishing. We ve always been known as a seafaring community. Now the ocean is being closed off to us.

It would intermittently restrict all access to the zone to ensure public safety during small arms training activities up to 75% of the year, or 273 days annually.
