am i the only person on this website who feels it may be a good thing that there are more protected areas of coastline? I mean, why is everyone on this website so adimantly against the conservation of our planet? "Oh no, i can't fish my favorite spot anymore!" Boo friggin hoo, its the god **** ocean, its HUGE! Why is it so difficult for any of you to just suck it up, move on, and find new places to fish. With all that horrible stuff that we do to our planet, I'm glad some people are taking steps to help reduce our impact on at least some areas of our coast
and fyi, if you didnt look, probably about 90% of that map is still fishable...there's bound to be plenty of fish to catch in those areas...

I'd like to think that most members speak for themselves and not on behalf of others. The fact is, this was a public debate-able issue and everyone was encouraged to voice their opinions. If this was a "save the planet" website, Im sure the overwhelming bulk of the comments would be in favor of all the closures.... but its not. Its a fishing website. So I understand the comments being in mostly one direction.
With that said, you're correct, there are certain things that we ALL need to do to help protect all the resources we have for future generations. The best thing anyone can do is educate themselves on the issues at hand and then get involved.
Ive read tons of opinions from both sides in regards to the MLPA..... and BOTH sides have points to be taken seriously. In the end, this was about reaching an agreement that worked for everyone, not just one particular community. The problem is, some feel that never happened.

Yah No kidding. Shotty Science. What a joke.
Fix Ballona Creek, LA River, San Gabrial River FIRST.
The pollution dumping into LB Harbor is insane. The Trash Boom by Ocean Ave only gets about 10%. Last year on the first rain dumped 80 tons of trash into the Port followed by the second big flush that dumped 120 tons of trash.
From the LA River all the way to Belmont Pier was 6' wide of trash. Plastic Bottles, Plastic Bags, and SPRAY CANS every 5' for miles. Thanks Taggers for pitching your cans in the storm drain.
I have pics of it. Then the City of Long Beach brings in Big Payloader's and scoops it all up in 2 days so the tourists don't see it.
40' Roll off dumpsters lined up as they do the speed cleanup.
At the Boom on LA River they filled a dozen 40' dumpsters.

well said BSP and DockRat. And another thing to add which p!sses me off the most. OIL Companies are also stakeholders to the MLPA and are paying a lot so they can build up OIL RIGS.... Yes mlpa consists of businesses instead of conservationalism. "let the ninja f*sh*ng begin!.... Oil rigs + oil spills = extra points for the BRTF.... Woohooo!
I saw a creepy ad on the bus that seemed to suggest peta and other sociopath groups are trying to pass a law to make meat eating illegal in california.
And no, I'm not joking.
That has to be a joke.
PETA sucks.
A nice special finger would be waiting for them....lol that aint gonna work..... heck no! lol
sorry i went on my rant, and im glad some people are pointing out things other than "now i can't fish in my favorite spot." the "economic drain" is a valid point, but by that same argument, almost anything environmentally friendly is an economic drain, if they weren't this planet would be saved. its the same reason why recycled plastics are barely used, if it was marketable and cost effective then itd be the way to go, but as it stands, nearly EVERYTHING environmentally friendly is not cost effective. i will admit, the mlpa closures were a huge cluster**** and i didn't say i'm not mad that i won't get to fish some of my favorite spots. The central coast is riddled with protected areas, so its not like im unfamiliar to this. I was just stating that i'm tired of hearing people moaning that their favorite fishing spots are in the closures and the same slippery slope argument of "they're trying to outlaw fishing." Maybe the closures were a bit extreme but its at least a step in the right direction...rather than pissing and moaning to this forum, piss and moan to the right people and get something done about it...just my two cents...and i am now a officially a pariah of the boards!!!!
