MLPA interactive maps
MLPA interactive maps
Here's a new setup where you can see the round two MLPA proposal maps from the RSG in detail online: http://www.marinemap.org/marinemap/ I prefer to use the chart function, as I use bluecahrt on my GPS/Plotter. With the chart function on I can reference my GPS and see exactly how my fishing is going to be impacted by the Closures. To get to the function click "Data layers" and check "Nautical charts" Then you can zoom in to your favorite area, and once there: click MPAs ,Arrays, and Proposals and in the pop up then you can select which MLPA proposals you want to see, either one at a time or layered on top of each other, and how they will impact your spot. The round 2 maps are the ones to look at especially External A. Lapis1, and Topaz. Here's some images from Lapis2 Dume: PV (just south of Rocky point) I suggest everyone look closely at these maps, as it's crucial for us to contact our RSG reps and fill them in on how they will impact us individually. For instance there is a lot of difference between Lapis1 and Lapis2 when it comes to LaJolla!! Feel free to post which maps you prefer (or hate the least) and which ones will impact you the most. For those who claim that the fisherman can do nothing and that going to the meetings or working within the process has been a complete waste of time I suggest you look at C and compare it to any of the round 2 maps. Those who have worked on the fishing side have made a difference, and it's important to keep up the fight. Next meeting is September 10th in LA, be there or loose your access. Thanks again to all the guys who have been working on this!!! Jim Last edited by Fiskadoro; 08-13-2009 at 06:05 PM. |

In case you didn't notice, there is a sticky thread here with the map info. Marine map is awesome. It is the same info our RSG reps are using.
Just so there is no confusion, there are only 3 maps in play right now Lapis 1 Topaz ext A The versions listed in marine map, for round 2 are the basis for what they are drawing now. None of the maps as drawn after round 2 met the Science guidelines, so all are being expanded.

FYI!
Lapis 1 now covers Scripps pier to Torrey pines! CLOSED TO FISHING!!! Prime Homeguard YT grounds, this is no secret, many of you had your first BIG YT up there this year, hope you come to the MLPA meeting sept 10th to speak out, and save that area. It is important to us kayak fishermen. It is short paddle, close inshore for safety! |

Guys, the round 2 proposals are already old news. The RSG is working on new maps. It's true the starting places were supposed to be Lapis 1, Topaz, and Ext A, but you should expect significant changes. The first time you'll be able to look at them will be the RSG's Sept work session and hearing. I suggest someone from your area come the day before the hearing to get a good idea of what's happening.

Paul, is there any way we can get the updated round 3 proposals in marine map, or google earth before the public comment September 10? Or are they still considered work in progress and won't be updated until they are finalized after the meetings? Or can we get the lat/long of the proposed boundaries even if we can't get them on a computer?
I may attend September 9th to get a feel for how things are going.

If it will be of any value to the RSG, the public comment period should be scheduled the morning of the first day before the work session, or on the second day before the RSG starts its last plenary session. Please consider a proactive stance - air concerns to Kelly Sayce and initiative executives ASAP. MJ and I will be present in Workgroups 1 and 2 - that's if nothing happens to us in the meantime. A drunk driver took out MJ's car the night of the last session. Fortunately he wasn't in it but the incident kept him out of the meeting. I strongly suggest that you get with other key communicators to coordinate eyes on each of the groups. |
