Hi this is Jon Schwartz, I just did it.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys have been putting in. I teach my kids all about marine conservation in my third grade class, and they are way into environmentally friendly approaches to fishing like kayak fishing. I mean, they're into fishing in general cuz that's all I talk about, but they dig how yakkers leave a clean wake and are very conscientious.

They know all about bottom trawling, shark finning, and and other destructive forms of "fishing", and they know all about how cool it is to kayak fish. In fact I went out with a yakker last weekend and he donated some halibut to my class, which we used to do a day of hands-on science, and then the meat went to me and some of the class moms.

I've even taken some of them to La Jolla to yak during a WFO YT bite, and with the help of some BWE members put one kid and his gramps on a nice YT.

Maybe I should have my kids write letters. The only prob with that is that I could get in trouble with my boss for getting political...
Anyway, thanks again guys and I hope my letters/emails, even though they are only .0000001% of the effort y'all are putting in, are helpful.
Take care
Jon Schwartz

Jon,

Not trying to be disrespectful, but did you know at the last meeting kids were bus'd in from Chula Vista and other schools?

All in blue shirts, supporting Map 3. And they had no clue as to what was going on, and were being coached.

I tried to enlighten parents as well, but was told I would have to hand out my fliers with approval from the district.

I guess what I am getting at is, maybe have your kids send emails, letters, anything...no doubt you are teaching them, let their voices be heard, now is the time that we need them.

There are kids speaking on behalf of closures, and not enough defending closures. So far we have had Clay, Noah, Otto, Isabella, and a couple others...we need more.

Everyone take a look at the new maps posted on the other thread if you haven't submitted your letter yet.

Here are the maps being considered:

If you have submitted your letter, you may want to follow up now that we have the actual maps clearly displayed. It might change some of the comments made.

BRTF option 4 in San Diego is the old Work Group 2 map that we supported.
