Group Says Southern California's Coastal Waters Are Still Open 
"Whether intentional or not, the Department of Fish and Game has done an extremely poor job in telling anglers when the South Coast regulations will go into effect," said Bob Fletcher, former president of the Sportfishing Association of California. "This lack of communication is causing anglers to unnecessarily stay off the water for fear that the regulations are already in place."

The fight to keep Glen Cove unchanged and the Shellmounds intact goes on and on and on.

Several attempts have been made to educate the Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) to NO avail. The GVRD Master Plan is fake and does not take into consideration that the land was stolen and that the First People lived around Glen Cove for thousands of years. Already, near by hundreds of modern homes have been built on Shellmounds - with no consideration what so ever. No...
