Is there a motion yet to impeach Schwarzenegger & Co.?

IMO that would be something to tell our rep. Let them know that closing the park would greatly endanger the marine sanctuary.We won't be losing a dive site, you'll just need a boat to dive there.
Even if they lock the gates, it'd be pretty tough to enforce the no diving rule if you're on a boat.
I'm worried that some fisherman will use the closure as an opportunity to bag some big fish from the reserve, knowing nobody will be there to snitch on them.

Ah ok. For some reason I thought that at least part of the closed area was dedicated to research (or at least open to research)About 80% of the ocean area of Pt. Lobos State Reserve is closed
to recreational diving. However, it is not a research area per se.
