Talked to the DFG today

[Regor]

I talked to the DFG today. They have one rep that they are pointing everyone to for all answers.

Here's some info for those who wish to use it.


The map below is for those who don't want to have to look up coordinates while OTW fishing, or for those who don't have a GPS.

This is only a screen shot of the shores and point, and not the Pier area and north.

The new State marine reserve (red) extends further (~350 yrds) offshore than the old state marine conservation area (blue) but they both originate off the same point above La Jolla cove.

Couple of notes:

~ The buoys are not DFG property. They are either City or County. DFG upper Mgmt is in talks with the City/County about moving them. Will it happen? Who knows.
~ Out of the 28 MLPAs, only 6 currently have buoys and the rest have just used (?) coordinates or landmarks or heresay
~ The coordinate closest to land (the cove) has not moved due to the latest MLPA action. The "Buoy" itself has moved closer (East) to the shores on it's own
~ Enforcement - as long as an effort is made to "try" and observe the new reserve via old buoys and/or landmarks, it's hard to enforce without buoy movement.
