Bobber - glad you spotted this and that is only a small area for safety of divers. According to "Western Outdoors" the California F&G is proposing to close many miles of shoreline to sport fishing for "marine preserves" and I was afraid the idea had migrated north. We should all be alert to situations like this. I'm for safety and conservation as long as there is a true scientific reason for an action - not vodoo science or political correctness. Bart
