A good point. Using your own lights is illegal. But this is about fishing where existing dock lights or street lights spill onto the water. The spillover is a magnet for smaller organisms, and the food chain follows. I wouldn't think the regulations would apply to existing municipal lights, but it might be worthwhile getting clarification.
