Del Mar Councilman Supports Map 3 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

T-Rex · 10-24-2009, 04:25 PM

For anyone living in Del Mar, your council representative Don Mosier came out last Wednesday in strong support of Map 3. Here's his contact info:

Don Mosier, Del Mar City Council.
(858) 755-9313
(858) 755-2794
CityHall@delmar.ca.us

In his bio he says he was born in New York and moved to California in 1985. He also claims he enjoys fishing and that "he believes in building consensus through citizen involvement". What a crock. Map 3 is not "consensus building".

Suggest letting this guy know what you think before the 11/11 meeting. Maybe he'll reconsider his position and try some real consensus building and support something we all can live with.

Don't live in Del Mar, but sent an email anyway.

Nobody wants The Monster in their back yard.

Delmar knows it, maybe the San Diego City Council will smarten up before its too late.
I know at least a few of them have stepped up, Carl DeMaio being one of them.

Feel sorry for all of the surf fishers, men, women and kids at DM...
surf fishing is actually quite good at certain times of the year.

Lots of variety...somebody needs to tell the grunion they are safe there now...

Exactly, they picked 3, because Map 2 places a big MPA in Del Mar. We might be better served to lobby our SD city council, Mayor to send letters to BRTF like DeMaio did for proposal 2. I sent Sherri Lightner a couple emails now, hoping she would echo her sentiments from the MLPA resolution here in SD. Still waiting for a return email.

I wonder if City Council recommendations mean anything? Are they part of the process or have they been asked by the BTRF for their opinions? I'd like for them all to support Map 2 but not sure that it even matters.

The city council may be able to persuade the outcome simply by communicating the Social Economic impact to the MLPA and how San Diego can not afford the loss these closures may bring and that they don't want it in their city.

Not sure how effective it will be but probably a bit more effective than our public comments. You can see the results at laguna, a city that was very involved in communicating they wanted closures.

Seems some lobbying is needed here letters and face to face.

I don't subscribe to the economic argument. If the choice is loss of revenue or loss of species I am going to side with the species, mostly because I like to eat them. I believe Map 2 provides the right balance to conserve both.

True and an equal if not a better point. Map 2 is the best solution all around.
