Holy Mackerel · 04-09-2009, 09:27 AM

Public comment is set for 3 pm on Weds Apr 15 and 8:30 am on Thurs.

***NOTE, this is an opportunity to speak out on why your fishery is important to you, and NOT RANT against the process, that could backfire on us, because MLPA is the law, and it is happening. Denial is not a river in Egypt!

You can be there to speak (or sign in and cede your time to another Kayak Fisherman) on either day or both days as you wish.

I have training next week, but will try to duck out for the Weds meeting.

Anyone else?

POST UP, Time to ralley, those that have said, "how can I help?" or "I feel helpless in this process" or "I feel unheard" this is your time to stand up, represent, and be heard.

Thanks,

Chris

PS: more to come.

PSS: Did you know the Spearos have rallied, and attended meetings to get a verbal committment to be able to speardive in 50 meters or less from the BRTF, due to their diving depth limits? This is because they have stepped up and been heard. We need to let the BRTF know that closure of our launch points, would be detrimental to low impact, non-polluting kayakers, who need the safety of proximaty of shoreline for a non-motorized vessel. Do you think you will catch WSB in 150ft of water? or much of anything?
