To the Editor:

On Friday morning, Jan. 15, I walked out to the end of Barnegat Light south jetty. Normally this is where I go to see the beautiful diving ducks (harlequins, surf scoters, eider, long-tails, loons and more)that comefrom as far as the Arctic Circle, but instead I saw a boat anchored within 100 yards of the south side of the jetty, approximately one-quarter mile from the beach. There were two lines of decoys between the boat and the jetty.
