Harbor Commission Supports Alliance of Communities for
Sustainable Fisheries Service
The San Mateo County Harbor District has
adopted a resolution supporting the recently formed Alliance of
Communities For Sustainable Fisheries. The Alliance was formed several
months ago by fishermen from the four harbors that adjoin or lie within the
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary: Pillar Point, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing,
and Monterey. Representatives from the harbors were actively involved with
the fishermen in getting the organization underway. The group was formed
to provide a more vocal and informed voice in the Sanctuary Management Plan
review process now underway for Monterey, Gulf of the Farallones, and Cordell
Bank Sanctuaries, and in federal and state consideration of establishing
marine reserves in which fishing could be prohibited.
Pillar Point fishermen have organized themselves to actively participate
in the Alliance's activities. These include participating in State Department
of Fish and Game hearings regarding Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) implementation,
Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council meetings, other meetings with staff of
the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), that oversees
the Sanctuary Program, the recent meeting of the port and harbor advocacy
group, the California Marine Affairs and Navigation Conference, in Half Moon
Bay, and in developing information and questions for use in the Sanctuary
review and MLPA processes.
