I'm pretty sure from what it looks like to me, it's going to be completely closed to fishing... not even catch and release. And I'm also gathering it's up to their discretion as to what defines -disturbing the area- when it refers as to weather or not an area can even be entered.
I am just starting to figure this out a little... I think. You have to read it yourself. It has a lot of repeating and lawyer shit they add so your common man can't understand it. But it helped to read it.
hey yall keep up the fight, we are supporting you guys out here 3000 miles away, keep it up, if yall need some extra support let me know and ill get the fires burning out here to help yall out.

I don't know but maybe a letter from another state might have some leverage. Effecting the tourism in a sense that perhaps out of state fisherman/women plan yearly trips to So. Cal. for their annual fishing trip. Or maybe guys over seas looking forward to returning from WAR to San Diego and going fishing. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt...
I hope this isn't a redundant request by now but can someone post the address where you can send a hand written letter or the link to the thread that has it? I know I've seen it but can't remember where I saw it.

The MLPA deals strictly with habitat. The Marine Life Management ACT ("MLMA") deals with fisheries management, which is where slot and reduced limits come into play as a management tool. Unfortunately, the way it has transpired, the MLPA has built reserves around a larval dispersal theory which is essentially a fisheries management issue.
The way I read the act, it asks for input on how this will be managed/enforced. Is this not a method that should be included in the mapping process?
It's a lot of legalese to sift through on a Sunday night, and at the end of it, based on the merits of what I read and understood, it's still difficult to read and understand.
If we wont be able to fish, why not try to get all fishermen to NOT purchase fishing licenses in Dec. The impact will send the clearest message with the econics of the country at this point in time. The hit would prompt some change since they will rely on our monies to keep running. At least forthe first 2 months of the year, then we could purchase them if we are jonesing too hard, but it will send a definate message. That is about all the regular joe can do, this is going to happen.

Part of what we up North have seen is that if you want to see where the enemy is, follow the RLFF money.
Who is that? You might want to read RLFF ,,,, and then realize who the donors are who set the mission.
You SoCal guys better realize you just get one shot at this. If it takes a loss to build support and activism, then you have lost that part of the battle permanently. And you had better look very closely at who the RLFF has bought
