As Rick talks about in his post below, there are a lot of proposals to expand MPAs and decrease our fishing opportunities.

I know there are several threads related to this already, but wanted to try and make one in the public section so the info would be available to as wide an audience as possible…
In Santa Cruz, the Kelp Stalkers will be hosting a meeting for all on March 13th at 7pm at 251 Washinton Street, Santa Cruz with Fish and Game Commissioner Erika Zavaleta as KeyNote Speaker.

"Join us at 251 Washington Street, Santa Cruz, California to hear from Fish and Game Commissioner Erika Zavaleta. Our goal from this meeting is to unite and educate our community as to the best methods for pushing back against these proposed closures."
I encourage all who can to attend the 3/13 meeting…I believe it will be available via Zoom as well and I will post details here when I see them.
Here are some additional links and resources on the topic:
Link to the recent Fish & Game Commission recording pertaining to MPAs. I HIGHLY recommend listening to what Commissioner Zavaleta has to say starting at 5:12:35.

BHA has a petition going with a very articulate statement about the issue.

Here’s the schedule of meetings, agendas and links to videos of past meetings.

I hope some of the above info helps…I’m not an expert about this stuff and the process, but would like to try and help out where and when I can to preserve our access to our fisheries…
Sincerely,
Jim
