Just updated, please keep sending in this letter via snail mail... We have made our point via fax and phone, but we DO NOT want to seem overly aggressive, and tie up their state business, it could backfire on us. Sending this letter to Darrell Steinberg is STILL needed.

By the way, feel free to fax/phone anyone else on any of the lists I have posted.... Just "cease fire" on calling or faxing The Honorable Darrell Steinberg, but again, keep this letter going, it is pretty easy!

The Honorable Darrell Steinberg
President Pro Tempore
State Capitol, Room 205
Sacramento, CA 95814

Dear Senator Steinberg:

The Marine Life Protection Act process requires oversight by the Legislature to ensure compliance with the law. I urge the Senate to exercise its oversight authority to investigate the numerous conflicts-of-interest in the MLPA process; the lack of funding to adequately carry out the program; and the inequitable single focus on fishing to fix the ocean. Further, I urge the Senate to investigate the cost of implementing the MLPA in light of California’s unprecedented budget shortfall. Without funding for science, monitoring and enforcement, huge sections of the ocean will be closed to fishing forever. This will unnecessarily impact the economy of coastal businesses and seafood consumers at the worst possible time in this terrible recession.

Thank you for considering my views.
