SD Tribune MPLA artical. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The Marine Protection Council is a new state agency being formed (if prop 21 passes) to manage and regulate all issues relate to the inshore and coastal environment. Including closures (which is the ultimate goal of the groups writting this prop.)

Basically it will be a forever version of MLPA, with more power and authority to levy fees on users.

The three new environment councils created in Prop 21 is a huge threat to anyone who spends time in the outdoors for any reason. I do not want to be the one to say I told you so! Tell everyone to read the fine print, open their eyes before it's too late.

Just threw this up on my facebook page. Here's hoping:

If you're in California, please vote no on Prop 21! Not only will it raise your auto registration fees, but it creates new regulatory boards and gives them the power to set policy for our forests, parks and oceans with little oversight or responsibility to voters. It ties the hands of lawmakers to allocate funds to education, law enforcement and safety. Do our state parks need more funding? Yes, but Prop 21 is not the way to do it. It's just another example of a law that sounds good in the title (Who doesn't think state parks are a good thing?) but in the fine print actually results in really bad policy.
