Action Required to save Fishing

Dear One Cool Tuna Friends

 

It is a critical time in the development of the MLPA phase for the south coast, and we need your help.  Please click the link below and send an e-mail in support of Proposal 2, one of the three options and the only one that would minimize the damage to recreational fishing.  It takes just a few seconds and could make the difference in our fishing future.

 

Thank you

Jeff - Cool Tuna

 

 

 

 

Blue Ribbon Task Force Nearing Recommendation on Recreational Fishing Access  in the South Coast - Take Action!   Letters from anglers and boaters needed to persuade BRTF to support Proposal 2  

The Situation

At its upcoming October 20-22 meeting, the Blue Ribbon Task Force (BRTF) is scheduled to vote on which marine protected area (MPA) proposal to recommend for the South Coast under the state's Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA). The Partnership for Sustainable Oceans (PSO), which represents the interests of recreational anglers and boaters, is supporting Proposal 2 for the South Coast. Proposal 2 places MPAs in locations with a high level of conservation while minimizing the economic impact on local communities and still allows anglers maximum access to fishing. It is the only proposal that truly reflects the spirit of conservation.

 

SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

To protect as much recreational fishing opportunity as possible, send a letter to the BRTF in support of Proposal 2. The Task Force needs to hear from you before its upcoming vote - send your letter now!

 

Thank you for doing your part to Keep America Fishing!
