C.2 Public Comments on Draft MPA Proposals Received from Public Open Houses As of July 20, 2009 (Draft Version) DRAFT Revised July 29, 2009 California MLPA Initiative South Coast Project C.2 Public Comments on Draft MPA Proposals Received from Public Open Houses as of July 20, 2009 (draft version) DRAFT Revised July 29, 2009 City of Location # Name Comments specific to an MPA Proposal Subregion Comments specific to an individual MPA General comment about overall process Residence Carlsbad 001a Tom Bryant Escondido I am referring to subregion 5, Lapis 1. I find the loser of LaJolla is a bit extreme and really 5 unnecessary. I am a low impact fisherman who really loves the spot and I wish to show my family members the excitement I have there. With this closer to this part of the beach would be deverting to the fishing community in a whole. I spend on an average of $1000 a year on new gear and bait. If this place would to be closed my money that I spend would not be there to hlep of our local community. I think it would be a great idea to rethink the closing of LaJolla. In reference to Lapis 2 I like how this map is done. Carlsbad 001b Tom Bryant Looks a little more thought out goes well with Revised external proposal A. but back to lapis5 2 if this plan was passed I woudl be spending more money in the future in our local community and be able to pass knowledge to my kids and be able to spend time with my family. I think low impact fishing is a great thing if your looking to save sea life. I think you should look elsewhere. Thank you for your time I help my input helped out. Carlsbad 002 Heather San Diego I am opposed to the closing of Lapis 1 due to the closure of La Jolla. My husband is a Jovin fisherman and I often accompany him on his kayak fishing trips. Not only do I enjoy spending time with my husband for his hobby, but I love the beautiful scenery and getting to truly appreciate nature. I do believe wildlife should be protected and preserved. For this reason, I suggest closing areas for commercial use, but leave them open for recreational use with fish limits and restrictions. Carlsbad 003 Nathan San Diego I am strongly opposed to the Lapis 1 proposal. My main reason is that it would restrict my Again, I'm against lapis 1 for the reasons previously mentioned. External AI am pleased to see the publics comments being Jovin ability to fish the La Jolla kelp beds. I am a recreational kayak fisherman and have become looks like a better option, as it strictens the existing La Jolla SMCA but solicited so aggressively by the stakeholders. part of an amazing community of ocean-loving sportsmen. Each and every one of them is leaves the kelp bed area open. I would, however, like to see Pt. Loma respectful of the ocean and the creatures in it. We may catch and keep one fish per month, remain open as well sa La Jolla, as shown in lapis 2 if we're lucky. The rest we release and mainly we enjoy the sport. The rec fishing community also contributes a huge sum of money to the local economy. Last year I invested over $1000 in fishing permits and equipment. Most of that went to small local businesses that cater to our community. I caught exactly one "keeper." We're not out there to pillage. Carlsbad 004 Jack Voss Laguna Niguel I am a 69 year old kayak fisherman. As such it is important to me to have access to fishing I think it is a mistake to ignore economic impact areas. I support opal proposal because it allows me access out of Dana Point for fishing on business with CA current economic crisis it is and lobster. I lobster along the long breakwater. Lapis 1 and Lapis 2 both eliminate any crazy to push this thru at this time. access to lobster for kayak out of Dana Point. It is also important keep Doheny Beach open to fishing as it is the only protected kayak area from power boats inside the buoys. La Jolla is another area I fish and the launch area is important at La Jolla shores and being able to get out to fishing area. Again I favor opal proposal. Dana Point headlands and salt creek area are important kayak fishing area accessible from Dana Point harbor.

I care a great deal about the environment, especially our oceans. I Moench have always been an ocean person but it wasn't until I started kayak fishing that I really became passionate about it. Like many other fisherman (especially kayakers) La Jolla has become my main, if not only fishing grounds. The ease of launching is unparalleled, not to mention some of the best fishing the whole state has to offer. Without access to La Jolla I would be forced to look elsewhere, and would definitely fish less often. If Lapis 1 is accepted, the only time I would be able to fish is if I jump on a friend's boat. Please keep La Jolla kelp beds open (at least the northern part) so that I and other kayakers may continue to enjoy the great, environmentally friendly spot. Thank you Carlsbad 006a Joshua San Diego I would like to focus on two key points in an effort to keep from boring the reader. First off, Please use the map which represents the most cross interest, revised If in the end a true compromise is reached, Pruitt the economic impanct of closing La Jolla would be detrimental to the city of San Diego…no map A. representing the most cross interest, with nothing to mention taking the food out of my childs mouth and surely losing my home. As a kayak other than the greater good of our ocean in fishing guide who's only source of income comes from spreading the word of conservation, mind…I'm 100% behind the MLPA. Thanks for not by preaching false science, but through leading by example...the only way possible to you listening to those with the most to lose and really make a difference. My biggest concern after witnessing the obvious bias through giving the public a chance to speak. every meeting i've had an opportunity (thank you) to attend is the "supposedly science" based agenda of the closures. For the last ten years I've had an opportunity to spend three to five days a week on the water...for the most part exclusively in La Jolla. What's blatantly obvious is that there are more fish now than ever...certainly more than ten years ago. Carlsbad 006b Joshua Since the gill nets were taken out in the 80's it took time for the fishery to recover and the Pruitt number s today prove that, even though some how, I haven't seen that in the "data" that's been provided. From the perspective of a fellow conservationist with a whole-hearted concern for this fishery, how would forcing ht entire fishing population to areas that can't handle it, in essence creating ocean wastelands, be better for the fishery and all mankind? Carlsbad 007a Heather Carlsbad Overall, I support the conservation at our precious marine life. However, several of the I am pleased to have the opportunity to learn Bensen current porposals (lapis 1, topaz) close the La Jolla area to fishing. I am opposed to closing more about the MLPA and also have a voice in La Jolla due to several reasons: 1. Safe access for watermen & women & children. This the process. I hope the maps can provide fairness area is one of the only in San Diego County that provides the safety families need while for all views. Easier said than done!! Thank you responsibility fishing. 2. If fishing is closed there are many economical rpercussions to the and keep La Jolla open. local area as well. Tacke gear dive shops will all suffer. 3. Also geared toward economy is the state of the recession. Fishing is a economical way to put healthy food on the table. Fishing from a surfboard or kayak does not pollute the environment as the large party boats do. 4. Family heritage is extremely important. Generations (over 100 years) of our family have provided for their families responsibly on the ocean. Norwegian captains down to our 6 & 4 year olds who already appreciate & know their history.

  • Tribal Marine Protected Areas: Protecting Maritime Ways And
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The White Paper entitled Tribal Marine Protected Areas: Protecting Maritime Ways and Practice published by the Wishtoyo Foundation (Ventura County, Santa Barbara) in 2004 describes the ecological and cultural significance of south-central California’s marine environment as a suitable area to establish new marine protected areas or MPAs. Tribal MPAs can be one tool for tribal people to co-manage and protect important submerged Chumash cultural sites and coastal marine ecosystems. The Chumash people lived in villages along the south-central California coast from the present day sites of Malibu to Morro Bay and extended to the northern Channel Islands. The Chumash reference for the northern Channel Islands are Tuqan (San Miguel), Wi’ma (Santa Rosa), Limuw (Santa Cruz) and Anyapax (Anacapa). Limuw means “in the sea is the meaning of the language spoken” while Chumash villages were named after the sea, such as Mikiw or “the place of mussels”. Evidence of Chumash village sites and tomol routes show an intimate relationship with the culture, sea and northern Channel Islands. The map below shows the villages and tomol routes within the greater Chumash bioregion. The varied maritime culture was diverse and depended on the rich array of animals and plants. Many animals, such as the swordfish, played a central role in Chumash maritime song, ceremony, ritual and dance. The Chumash people were heavily dependent on a healthy marine environment; the marine component of the Chumash diet consisted of over 150 types of marine fishes as well as a variety of shellfish including crabs, lobsters, mussels, abalone, clams, oysters, chitons, and other gastropods.
