in layman's terms...
in theLaguna SMCA and SMR...your fooked...no fishing, no take allowed!

however in the Dana Point SMCA fishing IS still allowed:
the regs state:
Permitted/Prohibited Uses: Take of all living marine resources is prohibited except:

Only the following species may be taken recreationally below the mean lower low tide line only: finfish by hook-and-line or by spearfishing, and lobster and sea urchin.

this is the exact same regs that the existing Refugio State Beach SMCA has...
we can still fish recreational hook and line! and for the hoop netters, it's still ok ,too!
