MLPA's coming to So Cal. Does that mean closing our Fishing Grounds?

To all Southern California Fishermen,

If you do not know what MLPA stands for then please look at
http://www.cafisheriescoalition.org/overview.htm

We are potentially to be regulated to the point of loosing most of the fishing areas that we have. It is possibly a bait and switch play years in the making. 1999 law that is being implemented in an overly strict way by groups ideologically opposed to the taking of fish. IE the hidden goal is actually stopping your fishing.

That is why you and I can not sit idly by and let this happen. It is a political process and you must not be silent. It is the "conservation" side we need to voice. Keeping the use of the natural resource open for all of us Outdoors Types to use and enjoy in a sustainable way. Do not fold your hands and let the "preservationists" hold the sway of the legal system to say no one may enter or use the natural environment. Whether they be liberal extremists like PETA or other "no kill" groups, who wear many different cloaks to hide their agenda.

The government web sites states... "There are three types of MPAs: state
marine reserve, state marine park, and state marine conservation area,
each with different rules about what activities can or cannot be done
within each. In general, marine reserves do not allow any type of
extractive activities (including fishing or kelp harvesting), with the
exception of scientific collecting under a permit, marine parks do not
allow any commercial extraction, and marine conservation areas do not
allow some combination of commercial and/or recreational extraction."

If you and I do not take heed and work to show the interests of the
fishing public in Southern California we may be stuck with many of the
most restrictive type zones. Then you will not be able to sport fish.

What do you think we can do?

How many "No Kill" type groups can you name?
