ASA Continues Work on California MLPA Issue

ASA staff traveled to southern California and meet with Susan Golding, Chairman of the Marine Life Protection Act Blue Ribbon Task Force, to discuss industry actions and views on the MLPA process, as well as to acquaint Ms. Golding with the investments this industry has made in conservation over the years. Staff also met with Blue Ribbon Task Force member Bill Anderson. While in California, ASA staff and California partners met with a public relations firm that has been selected to assist ASA and its CA partners to reach the goal of maximizing the conservation benefit of marine resources while minimizing unwarranted closures in that state.
