SD CITY COUNCIL MEETING!!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

zenspearo · 10-01-2009, 10:57 AM

This is a critical meeting Kayakfishermen. Not only that, it's critical to get everyone you know to write/call the city council members to express your reservation against the MLPA process and its impact on San Diego's economic base.

Remember how city council support enables the Children Pool people to persuade the CA legislature to essentially take a beach away from San Diego. Don't let this happen with the MLPA.

Remember how Laguna's City Council support was one of the critical factors in Group 1 and Group 3 taking away all of shore access in the city of Laguna.

This is an end-game strategy by the enviros clearly designed to get the support of San Diego City Council in time to influence the decision of the BRTF by Oct. 21st.

In many ways, this is as critical, or more critical, than any other MLPA meeting you have attended in the past.

1) Get as many people to write or call as possible.
2) Make sure kayakfishermen aren't shut out of ALL OF La Jolla. We can lose the battle and the war right here (Remember the BRTF can--and did in other MLPA study regions--come up with their own larger closures. Don't let this happen to La Jolla based on SD City Council's endorsement). If we don't do something, we'll only be allowed to look at the kelp next year from shore (but not from Children's Pool--we are already kicked out of that one).

Bump, this is coming quickly, we need all available Kayak Fishermen to represent to the city of San Diego, the negative economic impact on the MLPAI.

Coast Keeper is going to be there in force!!!

Starts at 2pm, take a half day, I asked for one!

Guys find your City Council Member and send them a quick email on the local economic impact of the MLPA, and to VOTE NO at this meeting. I just sent Sherri Lightner another email.

Frye is a surfer...a true blue old schooler. Hopefully she will lean in our favor.

Emerald, being that we are $179,000,000 in debt, I think if she realizes the negative effect on the SD economy, may help us.

Closing Pt Loma and LJ at the same time, unemployment would sky...

Guys,

We should model our SD City Council effort after Redondo's successful advocacy.

Here are the resolutions that come out of the Redondo's City Council. We want at minimum to achieve the same.

Please see attached.

We got to get the harbormasters, the boat shops, the tackleshops, the fishing day boats, etc. involved.

This is our hometown, no longer an abstraction of a state-wide closure. They've got to get in the game on this one. This paints a target right on their forehead.

Someone starts making calls and having some boots hit the pavement?

Bump!

C'mon SD kayakers, our northern kayakers made an impact with the city of Redondo, let's do the same here in SD. This is one of the rare SD venues, we can attend.

See ya there!
