(Nov 9th edition) Great write-up, enjoyed reading about the island adventure. I agree with Paul's opinion that the public needs to be involved and "buy in" to any closures. I may take some flames here but I'm in favor of marine reserves where there is evidence to support their need. Look at the Hong Kong region to learn what over-fishing can do. But I don't want fisheries closed only because it sounds good to some activist who never spends time there anyway. I will need very compelling evidence to support closing any part of La Jolla. I'm going to join the KFACA to try and make my opinion count.
