The Marine Life Protection Act was designed to act as conservation tool to protect marine ecosystems.

Instead, it has become a tool for progressive preservationists. Special interest groups, funded by big private corporate foundations have seized on the opportunity to advance the agenda for their ideals.
In a published scientific paper, three things were cited as the main issues for dealing with ecosystems and species management…Human take, Marine Mammal take, Water Quality. The current flavor of the MLPA process has evolved into a bashing of any fishing activities, blaming fishing totally, for any perceived decline.

Are you aware the Blue Ribbon Task Force, that Gov. Schwarzenegger assigned to “fast-track” the MLPA, is of “PRIVATE” peoples? The MLPA implementation is being paid for by private, progressive corporate environmental, NON-governmental foundations. There is a facade of a diplomatic, democratic approach to the decision making process…leading one to believe that the citizens of the state are involved in the process.We are NOT!

It seems the Greenpeace corp. has shown that green is big business…and VERY profitable. Lies, cons and greed…the years of not producing results(and telling lies that they have) are coming full circle. The truth has now become public. Greedy profiteers secrets are now out in the open for all to see.

In this video, Vern Goehring, Representative of the California Fisheries Coalition and Executive Director of the California Sea Urchin Comm., explains very simply to the Dept. of Fish & Game the lack of full oversight in the MLPA implementation. Yet, they do not listen.
