If you live anywhere between San Diego and Oceanside, and are a diver/snorkeler/spearfisher... this applies to you. You may know about the fight between the "seal police" who think they have the right to close a beach and divers, fishermen, swimmers, snorkelers who would like to utilize Children's Pool in La Jolla. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, just sharing something I found interesting. I visited CP in October, walked on the jetty. Check it out:
>As many of you know, the fight at Children's Pool will be heating back
> up this winter. The City is expecting to put the rope barrier back up at
> the beach and the activists are very effective at screaming at people to
> get them to stay behind the rope.*
>
> The rope is expected to go up on Dec. 15. That Saturday, Dec. 17, we are
> trying to get everyone possible to go and hang out at Children's Pool.
> This is our way of asserting our rights. If you can only make it to CP
> one day this year, please join us on that day anytime between 9:00 am
> and 7:00 pm. We are hoping the weather will cooperate.

> The idea is to show strength through enjoyment of our rights as citizens
> to enjoy the public beach. As has long been established, the rope is a
> "suggestion" and has no legal meaning. It is our constitutional right to
> fish at CP. This is guaranteed by the state constitution and the CP trust.

> We are asking any and all dive clubs to join us and celebrate/educate
> the public about one of the most historic dive spots in CA if not the
> world. This day is not hosted by any particular dive club and has been
> planned by members of multiple clubs. This is a great opportunity to get
> together and meet people from other clubs throughout CA. Hopefully you
> all can make it to hang out.
