And want to invite other regions to join.
Here's the scoop.
Despite the rather good turnout of 280, San Diego kayakfishermen and spearos are not exactly ecstatic. We think we can, correct that, we need, to do better.
We don't think the number reflects the passion of San Diegans in protecting their beloved fishing grounds.
Since the comment period runs to July 19, SD spearos and kayakfishermen are ramping up an email drive.
1) We are analyzing Lapis 1 and other maps in the next few days. Will be posting our analysis.
1.a) We will drive the email campaign online (spearboard, the various kayakfishing websites, Bloodydecks) and with our clubs to submit comments about Lapis 1, and other maps. Being San Diegans, we want to address La Jolla.
2) We also will analyze the other maps and will debunk once and for all the myth spread by the preservationists that other maps look the same and thus should have been combined to make room for a preservationist's map (the sour grape complaint). This will also be part of the email drive. We will kill this myth once in for all with facts.
2.a) We will also provide this online to make it part of the emails sent into the MLPA people.
Here's the invitation: Over the weekend, SD kayakfishermen and spearos will be working hard at analysis and strategy for the email drive. 500 emails is not unrealistic. If you already provided comments at the meetings but find in our analysis something that reflect your value that you didn't say it earlier, send in another email and let them know what you think!
We (I in particular) don't know the geographies of other regions but willing to share our methodologies and findings. If other regions want to post on the forums to push their drive, you will find a friend among San Diego kayakfishermen/spearos posters. Contact me (Jeff S., Eugene K.? Adam S.?, Grego? others).
We had a strong showing for this workshop series. We still have fantastic opportunities to drive our message until July 19th. Let's drive this and finish round 2 strong.
Note: Cross-post on Spearboard. Could someone please help cross-post on other kayakfishing sites?
