I was a little surprised but should have expected the underlying bias at last night's meeting. When checking in at the first information table, it was politely explained to me that "the first four proposals (Lapis 1, Lapis 2, Opal & Topaz) were developed by a coalition of concerned stakeholders including recreational & commercial fishermen, kayakers, divers and others concerned with protecting the environment. And the last two proposals (External A & External B) were developed by outside organizations based on their own vested interest."

It seemed like there was a good turnout by fishermen and spearos since Externals A & B were getting the most attention. Both reps did a great job in explaining their proposals.
