DFG meeting LA, kayak harder speaker - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So does anyone know the name of this turd's kayak shop so we can make sure none of us ever buy or support his shop ever? The guy was just a condescending ass who was extremely pompous and arrogant, I encourage everyone to boycott his shop and guide service as he is clearly against us despite his claims of being a fisherman!

This guy is no fisherman, much less a kayak fisherman. He's a recreational, non-consumptive kayak guide that takes tourists to the channel islands to look at sea lions. Check it- http://www.dfg.ca.gov/MLPA/pdfs/comm...unn_101109.pdf

yep, W. Scott Dunn -

Another email from his address at islandkayaker@earthlink.com

http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mlpa/pdfs/comments/i_060409.pdf

I did find a business that may be associated with him, but I'll not tarnish an innoccents business, in case Mr. Dunn is not the owner.

His comments about Kayakers needing to improve there skills with better weather recognition and surf zone ability fall in contrast to his knowledge of when dangerous situations can occur.

He alerted the CINC - Channel Islands Naturalist Corps about a shark that bumped a woman's kayak. He knows that anything is possible, yet he puts it all on us?! http://www.rain.org/pipermail/channe...ne/000450.html Puts us farther out on the water?

I know he was listed in the 2007 and 2009 Sanctuary Advisory Council for nonconsumptive recreation. It appears that only maximum closures would suit this eco extremist. Where was his middle ground?

Oh, my, his argument supporting Group 3 was as solid and scientific as was the info supporting the existence of "Global Warming." What a fanatic.

I say we all randomly set appointments for his guide service

Then cancel at the last minute

The reason the pilgrims sailed here was to escape an oppressive society. One of the primary purposes of our form of government is to protect minority interests from more powerful or influential groups who seek to strip them of their rights. Allowing the citizens of this country to reasonably access and benefit from the natural resources of this country is the basic economic tool that resulted in populating the country west of the Allegany mountains. The creation of these MPAs strips us of a fundamental right. The case has not been made that these MPAs are the only way to preserve the marine environment and the creation of them through a privately funded and one sided process is equivalent to authoritarianism.

My two cents. Tom
