A thought about future meetings.

[so cal shaggy]

I have been thinking a lot about the last BRTF meeting and one of the statements that was made was "I am not wearing a white shirt and I am not wearing a black shirt I am wearing a blue shirt showing support for our ocean." I have been thinking about that statement a lot over the last two weeks and feel that if we are going to try to come to a compromise regarding closure areas we need to be willing to compromise therefore I suggest that from now on we do not wear black shirts to the meetings including the roadshow workshops. I think we should all wear blue shirts to make an effort to mend the rift between the consumptive and non consumptive groups. If we are going to make any progress and even though I know I will be flamed for this statement I feel that our group needs take the first step towards mutual interaction.
