MLPA and surfrider.
 

MLPA to be discussed at tomorrow's SD surfrider chapter meeting. Anyone planning on going to this? I have a conflict that is keeping me away.

In years past surfrider has been a strong proponent of marine reserves.

...which draws me away from Surfrider. They do good work, but it's very exclusive and I think selfish because it all revolves back to surfing. See what happens if all river mouths are protected areas to view like in a fishbowl and not disturb.

Think of all the millions of plankton that surfers kill every year....sheesh.;)

The founder of surfrider quit the organization because they were getting into non surfer issues. I surf but I don't support surfrider.

Years ago I was affiliated with the sierra club.Then came the battle over
Yosemite valley usage.When an organization wants exclusive use/control
of a resource it's time to realign your aligance! I surf also but the ocean is a resource everyone should be able to enjoy!

This has been echoed on Spearboard by Speardivers/Surfers.
