We are coming down to the wire on the DFG decision and the good guys would like your help to get an extension on the final review.

The Situation
On September 29, 2010, the California Fish and Game Commission (FGC) will hold a special meeting to discuss and consider a potential extension to the public comment period for the South Coast region Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) as part of the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) implementation process. The DEIR, which was released on August 18, 2010, analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the marine protected area (MPA) proposals currently under consideration for this area. The DEIR was given a 45-day review and comment period.+


The DEIR is a 548-page document that addresses a number of complex environmental issues that require careful consideration. The recreational fishing and boating community believes that it is imperative that the FGC extend this to a 90-day period to provide the public with sufficient time to review and comment on this report.
Decisions made under the MLPA process, including the DEIR, will have significant and long-lasting consequences for angling and boating in the region. The public deserves enough time to carefully review and provide input on the DEIR to ensure it is as comprehensive, informative and accurate as possible and is not driven by a need to meet arbitrary deadlines.



Please take a couple minutes and fill this form out:

No wonder its so easy for these guys!!!I'm afraid we cannot be nice people in this battle..

Has anyone considered getting certain unions to go on strike?


Attack ads might help. They're playing hardball, mang. Its because we're trying to be the victim.. (yes I know, just bear with me)

It's time we played dirty. It's our only hope....

Message sent. But I tried to follow the link to see what exactly they were talking about and found nothing. No mention of a DEIR on the meeting agenda. Any clarifications?
