Penguinpower (bing) posted a link to the video archive of the meeting and public commentary complete with timestamps of notable events.

fryguy, every single SMCA is different. You can go to the link here:
http://marinemap.org/marinemap/
and use that to check the boundaries of each proposed reserve. You can click on each individual SMCA. Some may as well be red SMR's with no recreational fishing allowed. Others allow pelagic take only (yt, wsb, thresher), and others such as the one currently near the Scripps pier only ban invert take, so no lobster can be taken, but anything else is fair game.

Here is the allowed take from the Topaz SMCA near the tourmaline area.


Allowed Uses
Target Method Use Type
Lobster Trap commercial
Lobster Diving recreational
Urchin Diving commercial
Urchin Diving recreational

Let the Fish and Game Commission know what you think about the proposed maps.
