With the exception of Mayor Kelly Boyd, the Laguna Beach City Council recently voted unanimously to recommend closing over 7.5 miles of Laguna’s beaches to all activities, including walking, swimming, surfing, body surfing, skimming, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, boating, fishing and/or any other human activity that may adversely effect the marine environment. This is insane, but the city council has already done it!

Please email Mayor Boyd: kellyboyd2006@gmail.com and demand the City Council reverse their decision. The exact wording of the proposal could result in over 7.5 miles of our beaches being turned over to the State’s “managing government agency” which will from this point on, have absolute and complete control of Laguna’s beaches and the authority to close our beaches forever.

Interesting how this is the only media coverage on this issue.

Now let’s try a new poll…….

How many people think that walking on the beach sipping a latte’ should be outlawed in order to save the marine environment?

We have jobs and we have families!

I am just sick at what happened on Nov. 11 !!! No, the BRTF never came to a decision on Oct. 23-24 !! Therefore, they had a meeting this past Tuesday Nov. 11.

However, it is not over. We still have the F&G to make the final decision based upon many facts and figures.

Well said.

The environmental extremists preaching that our oceans are in crisis are doing nothting more then telling lies to the public who are naive and don’t the facts so they can win over their support.

In areas in the central and Northern Calirfornia were many of the prime fishing areas have been closed the few areas left open have been wiped all the added pressure from anglers left with few areas left to fish. There is no load balance.

In the case of Laguna this is nothing more then beach front home owners looking for a way to privitize their beach. Once it’s a reserver it may still be open to the public but access will be determined by a commitee and out of the publics hands.

The MLPA process has been privately funded by extreme environmentalists who keep all the decision makers in their back pocket including the governator. This has been a corrupt process and in the end the public is the biggest loser.. They are taking our rights and liberties. What so many gave their lives to protect is being swept with the tide of enviromental extremists, and rich property owners non of which have the slightest clue about fishery management.
