Next MLPA meeting--April 28 (Tues) in Oxnard - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 04-20-2009, 06:40 AM

This is an important meeting as RSG reps now take guidance from the Blue Ribbon Task Force and Science Advisory Team data and feedback (supposedly with new 0-30 m fine-scale data) and battle it out to narrow the current 10 maps down to 5.

You can give talking points, or cede your time to another kayak fisherman, or person to speak.

Residence Inn by Marriott
2101 West Vineyard Ave.
Oxnard, CA 93036

Anyone from SD crazy enough to drive up there?

From Terry Maas, Spearo rep.

Speakers,
The state is requesting that only comment directed toward Regional Stake Holder Members is appropriate. I think what is meant by this is that information directed toward the stakeholders can include:
1. Specific locations advice ie, your views on PV, LaJolla, Malibu etc.
2. Issues of water quality
3. Size and spacing of reserves
4. Local knowledge of habitat missed by the SAT at specific locations
5. Your views on the size of some of the proposals, ie External C
6. Your views on favoring a specific array proposal, ie-the FIN/FIC--External A
7. Comments on how specific proposals will affect you
8. Perhaps suggest a go-slow approach with an eye to re-evaluation in 5 years as is required by the plan.

Public comment is limited to Tuesday only at 3pm. Joe Nguyen will help organize the speakers

Anyone staying after the meeting is invited to discuss the meeting and the process at dinner at a local restaurant, location TBA.

It is time to rally, there will not be many more chances.

I am taking a vacation day. I hope you ALL will too.

A 3 hour drive will suck, but losing fishing grounds, and not participating in the process, and not having your voice heard, will suck more.

Let's take on those spearos mano a mano in greater attendance.

Let's get some carpooling, whatever, you need to do to get up there. I might have some room in lil CRV, waiting to here back from others. If anyone is going from SD, and has room in your car, POST UP!

Our Reps need our support, we need to show up in force.

Bump!

I forgot to add....

The time scheduling is TBD, but likely around 1pm for public comment, I will post more time specifics, as I hear them.

Come on up - your stakeholder reps need your support.

If I can get the day off, I'm in.

Holy Mackerel · 04-21-2009, 08:26 PM

Kurt, let me know we can carpool...

To be honest, I can't believe more Kayak Fishermen are not rallying, and making time to attend this meeting... This is not like a MLB season with 162 games... Think of it as game 3 World Series, not many chances left to attend a game.

Please support Paul, and MJ.

Many Speardivers are supporting Terry Maas, and Eric Kett.

Many Bders are posting thousands of threads on nonesense, and a few are attending...

Thanks,

Chris
