I see their reasoning. Don't disrupt the seals habitats, and ban fishing...hell, make sure there is a healthy seal population right in front of the reserve.
That'll solve the problem, the fish will recover and get steroid big from avoiding the (multiplying) hungry seals, then the fish will increase their brain capacity, relocate, create their own artificial reef and ecosystem, and thrive.

Genius!

BTW, I signed up for the newsletter...

Can you forward me a copy? It helps with my bulimia (sp).

Ok, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed... so does the SMR and the SMCA mean I can't fish those areas? I know what SMCA "No-Take" means, but damn, for Dana Point/Laguna Beach, it's the whole freak'in coastline. WTF?

In my opinion the BIGGEST loss for fishermen and the biggest win for them was how extensive this reserve will be.............truly sucks.

You cannot fish in any SMR. Each SMCA has it's own rules as to wether and what you may fish for inside it. Ex. In the new SMCA at North LJ you can only fish for Pelagic Finfish (baitfish). In most of the SMCAs you cannot fish for gamefish unless you do it with a handheld harpoon (yes really).

I am wondering: What is the definition of a handheld harpoon? Leif

for those who may be wondering...
this shows the northern border of the Dana Pt SMCA...
no fishing north of this line...
south of the line all the way to Encinitas is legal to fish...

in layman's terms...
in theLaguna SMCA and SMR...your fooked...no fishing, no take allowed!

however in the Dana Point SMCA fishing IS still allowed:
the regs state:
Permitted/Prohibited Uses: Take of all living marine resources is prohibited except:

Only the following species may be taken recreationally below the mean lower low tide line only: finfish by hook-and-line or by spearfishing, and lobster and sea urchin.

this is the exact same regs that the existing Refugio State Beach SMCA has...
we can still fish recreational hook and line! and for the hoop netters, it's still ok ,too!
