Understand something, all of us will be directly affected by what happens in this whole MLPA process.

If you fish from a kayak, you will have to fish a minimum 3 miles out.

If you fish from the shore, good luck casting 3 miles out.

If you spearfish, kick your fins hard, 3 miles out.

Here is what you really need to know for those that think we are overreacting...

If their implementation of MPA's pass and your favorite fishing area happens to be on their list, you will not be able to fish that area for 5 years.

5 YEARS!

Guess what?

If after those 5 years, they decide that it has worked, after review, they can extend it another 5 YEARS!

Do you really want that?

Stand up and be heard...this whole process has been a mockery, and they are having fun watching us squirm.

Those that have been fighting this are doing it for their fishing rights, and for your fishing rights. There are those that have sacrificed vacation days, sick days, less pay, and time away from their families...

I am selfish - I am doing this for my Son. I have been fishing and diving La Jolla for close to 30 years, and I want my Son to enjoy all the ocean has to offer. La Jolla, Malibu, Laguna, they are all jewels.

There are those of us who want to be able to pass on great memories, and there are those of us who want to be able to have active memories with our children.
