The Partnership for Sustainable Oceans (PSO) has put South Coast Anglers and Boaters on alert, encouraging their participation in a series of evening open houses taking place beginning next week and running through July 13. With events taking place in locations stretching from San Diego to Santa Barbara, there should be an event convenient to all Southern California anglers.
Following is a text of an email sent out to anglers, interested parties and the industry by the broad-based organization.
The Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative is holding South Coast Summer Open Houses throughout southern California. These open houses will allow the public to review Round 2 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) draft proposals, provide input on particular geographies and areas of interest, ask questions and learn about the next steps in the planning process. The open houses are open to everyone, and are all scheduled from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
This is an opportunity to learn more about the proposals and let your voice be heard!
The open houses will take place throughout the South Coast region between June 29 – July 13, 2009. See the list below for dates and locations.
