SD CITY COUNCIL MEETING!!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

emrliquidlife · 10-02-2009, 02:44 PM

Hey guys,

I presented the kayak safety fishing video at the last MLPA meeting.

Would it make any sense to have this video presented at the Council Meeting?

I'm nowhere near San Diego, but I hope to fish La Jolla for a yellow tail in October. I could make the meeting and hopefully catch a fish.

As usual, I can't make the meeting but will send out some emails. There is another way of posting your opinion. Visit this site http://www.sandiego.gov/city-clerk/o...tcomment.shtml

and you can write a comment that will be shared with the appropriate folks. I know someone reads these because I got an email back from the clerk who distributes the comments asking me which agenda item my comments were concerning.

They only let you have 200 words which makes it difficult to get your point across, so use your words well.

In case anyone is interested, this is what I wrote.

"This action item is a thinly disguised attempt to con the Council into supporting a harmful agenda being pushed by some narrowly focused special interest groups. Despite statements to the contrary in paragraphs 2 and 5 of this proposed resolution, the suggested MLPA closures are not supported by scientific research. In fact, the statements in paragraph 2 are bald faced lies. Sensible regulation of the commercial fishing industry and dramatic reductions in pollution have resulted in the California coastal fisheries being healthier today than in any time during the last fifty years.

Should the MLPA closures become law, recreational fishing along most of the coast of California will be outlawed. If this is allowed to happen, entire industries based on this resource will disappear. The cost to the state and individual cities will be untold millions of dollars in lost tax revenue, as these businesses are forced to close. There will also be enormous enforcement costs that someone will have to pay.
>>
The MLPA closures are poorly conceived and not supported by the science. This proposal is not supported by most citizens and should not be blessed by the San Diego City Council. Please do not approve this resolution."

Guys, this is a flank attack right here at home. Defend your turf! Please make every effort to attend, and if you can't, at the very least call your city council rep.

Yes.
That Video was powerful, please bring it down.

If you are in the neighborhood and want to fish LJ I'd gladly fish with you.
