I can't find a current thread on this topic. A 38-page report on this plan was unveiled Oct. 18 with Gov. Schwarzenegger enthusiastically endorsing it. The announcement featured an unlikely group including Clint Eastwood and Democrat luminary Leon Panetta flanking Schwarzenegger in Monterey.

Carry Okie, I'm particularly interested in your take on this issue. It dovetails nicely with SchwarzenKennedy's Sierra lock-up and puts an interesting spin on his governorship. There's a huge story on this in Sunday's Ventura Star under John Krist's byline. I'd flag you all to the URL but they've passworded their web site and I won't register to get in. The story quotes an official of the California Resources Agency as saying:

"This issue isn't just controversial. It's thermonuclear."

Anyhow, I'm interested in what the governor's activism on this issue means in the context of California's future, and what it means for sportfishermen and commercial fisheries. On one hand it seems somewhat sensible in that it presumes to protect against overfishing. On the other hand it has all the earmarks of a classic elitist environmentalist Agenda 21 lock-up of public property. Comments?

Carry is on vacation. Hedgetrimmer is very knowledgeable and calcowgirl's research is the best. I'll ping the rest of the troops.

It all depends on enforcement, if cheaters are not caught and punished then nothing is accomplished for the fisheries and respect for our government and laws will be seriously undermined. If they pick the right areas and enforce it then the larger fish that produce the most offspring will be protected and as the young fish grow they will migrate to the open fishing areas. It should work for bottom fish that tend to be territorial as adults.

I just got back from a three week hiadis. It'll take me a couple of days to dig out and get back to you.
