California MLPA Initiative Announcement (South Coast MPAs)  | |
TO ALL AFFECTED AND INTERESTED PARTIES:
During the regulatory process to amend Section 632, Title 14, California Code of Regulations, regarding south coast marine protected areas, changes were made to the originally proposed regulatory language.
Because these regulations are different from, yet sufficiently related to, the originally proposed regulations, the Administrative Procedure Act requires that we make the changes available to you for a 15-day written comment period (October 3, 2011- October 18, 2011). Comments will also be accepted at the October 19, 2011 hearing in Monterey.
The continuation notice, including an updated informative digest, and the modified proposed regulatory language are posted at
http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/2010/#632sc.
This is also to provide you with a notice of availability of a document added to the rulemaking file. The November 3, 2010 Amended Initial Statement of Reason identified Attachment 17: California Department of Fish and Game Memo to the Commission regarding outstanding issues identified in the proposed Initial Statement of Reasons to Amend Section 632 Title 14, CCR (October 11, 2010) as a document supporting the proposed regulations. This document is available for public inspection between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm , Monday through Friday, at 1416 Ninth Street , Room 1320, Sacramento , CA, and on the Commission's website at http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/2010/#632sc.
Written comments must be received in the Commission office by 5:00 pm on October 18, 2011. Interested persons may attend the October 19, 2011 hearing in Monterey and offer testimony. |

| H2O 2012 - Save the Date! / Submissions |
A call for presentations will be circulated this fall. This year's program and PowerPoint Presentations can be found at
www.coastalconference.org
Next year's conference will be held Monday, May 21 (field trips) and Tuesday, May 22 through Thursday, May 24 (plenary session and concurrent sessions) at the Catamaran Hotel in Mission Bay, San Diego. There will be three receptions from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We're choosing the week that leads into Memorial Day again because many people stayed over this year and we have heard from people since the conference was held that they would stay over next year if we hold the conference the same week at the same location. You can't beat $110 per night at a place as nice as the Catamaran!
See you there!
