MLPA and shore/spear fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Can anyone give me the information on which MLPA closed areas to watercraft fishing, still allow shore and spear fishing?
I've got to say, nothing against divers, but if spear fishing is allowed in areas closed to kayakers, then that is one additional aspect of the MLPA that is royally screwed up!
If there is a single diver in an area and a single kayak, who are you going to bet is more likely to come away with a nice WSB, sheephead, or any other catch? My money is on the diver, so what's up with that?
