A message from the President- Ocean Czar? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Guess the honeymoon's not over yet J mo.

Anyone who thinks the Fed will do a good, or fair job of determining regulating and MPA's or any other PA, especially one that will be benificial to fishermen right now, might be interested in a bridge I have for sale.

This proposal isn't even being disguised, it's another move to expand the powers our Federal government over that of the States. There has been a lot of that lately. More regulation = more control = less freedom.

I'll keep it at that.

While I applaud the President's stated goals, the implementation of any such policy on a national scale will leave most of the local concerns in the dust. We have seen what can happen here in California where some of the powers that be are trying to apply the "one size fits all" approach to the current negotiations.

Because they are rushed for time and under pressure from lobbyists, (from all sides), these folks have chosen to ignore the science and bow to the heaviest pressure. This is not the best way to save the world.

We could just keep doing the same thing we’ve been doing and _hope_ it gets better.

Peace all! Fortunately we live in a country where we can disagree on issues publicly. Nothing wrong with debating an issue. Especially one that means something to us.

MLPA - from shore to 3 miles out - CA waters...

Beyond that, it is Federal jurisdiction.

Slot limits, keeping foreign vessels out, educating the public, enforcement of regs, I can think of a myriad of ways to go about this.

Calling fish 'sea kittens' is not one...

I'm going to enjoy some Alaskan sea kitten halibut for Father's Day dinner tonight.

Not aqua-farmed fish that requires ten times the calories of grain to produce the fish.

I want that Alaska resource managed sustainably. I want the open ocean managed. Otherwise after everything else is gone the commercial folks will come for my local yellowtail, white sea bass, and calico kittens.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there!
