MLPA to be discussed at tomorrow's SD surfrider chapter meeting. Anyone planning on going to this? I have a conflict that is keeping me away.

In years past surfrider has been a strong proponent of marine reserves.

...which draws me away from Surfrider. They do good work, but it's very exclusive and I think selfish because it all revolves back to surfing. See what happens if all river mouths are protected areas to view like in a fishbowl and not disturb.

Think of all the millions of plankton that surfers kill every year....sheesh.

The founder of surfrider quit the organization because they were getting into non surfer issues. I surf but I don't support surfrider.

Years ago I was affiliated with the sierra club.Then came the battle over
Yosemite valley usage.When an organization wants exclusive use/control
of a resource it's time to realign your aligance! I surf also but the ocean is a resource everyone should be able to enjoy!

This has been echoed on Spearboard by Speardivers/Surfers.
