MLPA Update

[CurtyL]

Maybe a dumb question so I apologize in advance - haven't been on the forum in a while and haven't been to an MLPA meeting since the one up in Carlsbad a way back. But I got one of those e-mail updtes from Melissa Heiman recently and actually decided to open it as it touted some "new Round 2 Maps." It looks to me like the MLPA is no further along than it was almost 2 years ago. WTF? Not even implemented in NoCal yet, no real info on SoCal past those old maps?? Are we still paying for this?

Those round 2 maps are for NorCal.

SoCal closures are at the Fish and Game Comm level.

North-Central MPAs went into effect last month.

Paul,
Any word on if or how they are being inforced? Bouys? signs exc...?

As for where we stand now in so.cal...didn't the DFG commission throw out all the maps but ONE, and we are just waiting for them to vote on that ONE map?

None of the above. If you fish, you're just expected to know.

In SoCal, you are substantially correct. The Fish and Game Commission voted to fully analyze only the IPA.

There's more to this story, but that will take its own thread.
