"PERMANENT CONSERVATION AREAS!”

[rossman]

I actually can't remember any discussions during the MLPA process that would indicate that these closures were anything but permanent. Not sure if I was so disheartened by the whole process that I just assumed they were permanent or if I was just not in the room when the discussion took place. I did feel that there was a reasonable plan in place to measure their effectiveness using some science that seemed to be lacking in the original process, but now hat appears in jeopardy also. Was anyone here in the room when the lifting of the ban was discussed?

I'm positive I recall hearing the MLPA was ONLY for five years...and they were going to take a look at MLPA's after that. A long five years.

Sadly I don't remember which top dawgs said it...and it was repeated often. Not that it matters now?

The entire MLPA scheme was all lies and shit sammiches.
*ALL the scandalous MLPA players past & present should be held accountable. ALL their personal information should be posted online.
Shit could get real quickly for these fools.... WE THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED!

Surprising lack of interest in this thread. But hey, some people probably think this is a good thing.

Apathy has a lot of good fisherman sleeping...while the ENGO's are wide awake and attending every DFG and DFW meeting as well as arranging MLPA Collaborative meetings.
I don't think the CCA CAL has cracked 2000 members yet...kinda unbelievable after the MPA closures and the huge fishing population we have here in Southern California.

The CCA CAL L.A. Chapter has it's big fundraiser in May on the 21st....I'll post up the flyer and some info when we get closer.
If anyone is a business owner and you're interested in getting a table for the event, please get in touch with me jim@sabaslayer.com or John Ballotti at ccacalla@yahoo.com
