Until government funding is restored, the National Park Service says Florida Bay will remain closed and charter boats are prohibited from taking fisherman into 1,100 square miles of open ocean waters.

Biscayne National Park is also off limits and park rangers will be on site to ensure boaters don't enter the water, reports The Citizen in Key West in an article carried online by the Miami Herald.

The shutdown is expected to impact the tourism industry, including internationally popular fishing tournaments in the Florida Keys.

How exactly does closing parts of the ocean save the federal government money or prevent any spending whatsoever? Won't they actually have to spend MORE money to enforce closure vs. leaving it open?
