You motivated me to send this message to each of my senators and my assemblyperson.

"I am writing to you to voice my concern regarding the pending closures of public space to recreational fishing. The MLPA closures pending in Southern California represent a costly and drastic effort to limit the public's access to public resources.
I am a supporter of limits on daily catches, but I am opposed to outright closures.
My son and I fish from a kayak, much as my father and I fished together during my youth, and he with my grandfather. I do not see how even a fleet of kayak fishermen and private boaters could damage these resources.
I feel the "science" behind the closures is a thinly veiled ruse propagated by the radical preservationist movement to deny tax paying citizens the rights we have inherited from our forefathers.
If the state is bent on spending money to improve the resources, hire additional game wardens and aggressively prosecute poachers.
Please do not support the MLPA and do not support the limitatins on my access to public resources."
