Despite soaring outdoor recreation use levels, discussion of impacts has often been downplayed, denied or deflected by almost everyone, including users, commercial tourism operators, conservation organizations and government agencies that are supposed to be managing for resource protection. After a year like this when public lands and waterways were overwhelmed and all government agencies could do was engage in triage and try to minimize the damage, will discussions of limiting use to protect resources and maintain quality experiences finally start to happen? The answer clearly is not to simply build larger parking lots at boat put-ins and take-outs. Photo courtesy Kirk Deeter/Angling Trade magazine
