MLPA Impact

If you haven’t been following the saga of the Marine Life Protection Act and the proposed ocean closures now is a good time to start.  There was a meeting held yesterday with up to 1,000 people attending and voicing their opinions.  Commercial and sport fishermen are worried closures would hurt their trade/sport.  Environmentalists are making themselves heard.  And others are only worried how we are going to pay for enforcement.  Here are a few articles to read so you can catch up on all the drama.
