ATTENTION MLPA HATERS - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Tman · 10-21-2010, 05:30 PM

Might want to start with the fact that school kids are constantly bused in to these meetings and question if they are actually being told the truth about why they are there.

Having kids make diaramas during class time to demonstrate that an MPA would help save tropical coral reefs is a good start.

Or how, not only this latest meeting but others as well, when offered the truth that they were not there to save the coastline rather to end shore fishing to 3 miles out kids' responded with dismay, or when they were offered free fishing trip passes hands shot up in the air.

Maybe question why the idea of creating artificial reefs to increase marine habitat and future marine life is dismissed because they would have to wait to see the end result, yet a closure in their eyes would work, even though they would still have to wait to see the end result.

Or ask why lowering allowable daily take slot limits (Calico, Sand bass daily take is 10, YT daily take is 10) was never factored into the equation.

Ask why the WSB population has thrived and point out the success of the WSB hatcheries and inform him where the funding for that comes from.

Need more?

Question why school children are being bused in and if they are actually being told why they are there - who pays for them to be bused in, and are the parents aware of what is going on?
If my son goes on a field trip, it is explained.
Are these parents aware the purpose of them being there?
Is the whole process explained to them, without bias? Are they told both sides of the story and do they have both sides explained to them? Is anyone explaining the purpose of them being there, or is the whole purpose of them being there to receive a good grade, maybe extra credit?

When these kids presented their diaramas (probably the best diaramas allowed them to speak), they commented on how an MPA would save tropical coral, and it is on record them saying how coral thrives...in shallow tropical waters. I had 2 5th graders that knew where shallow coral could be found.

Skip 3rd paragraph, head to 4th or 5th, time for you to do research, the answers are there. Hint - a man-made reef was just evaluated of San O...look it up.
