Water-Viewer Salinas, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jan 6, 2010 So.........WHAT does this mean for us Fishermen? MORE regs? MORE laws? It won't be good for "US" fishermen. This year we saw MORE turtles in Monterey than we have the past 8 years. Before this year we saw maybe 1 or 2 in a 6 year span. It wasn't good. Basically because their population is declining and on the verge of extinction.
Tony Monterey, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jan 6, 2010 You have to realize the people who are calling you clueless will be happy with nothing less than having the entire Monterey bay off limits to Humans. But not them because they are enlightened and special. The humans they don't abort will be vegans living in compost piles of their own feces! Not THEM of course they will still live as they do now but they will feel better knowing YOU are properly green. They think anyone who depends on the Ocean and the critters in it for their livelihood are too dumb to fish responsibly!
