As an organization that advocates the enhancement and restoration of fisheries in the Santa Barbara County area, and provides education to the community on important issues affecting our fisheries, we feel it is especially important that a concerted effort is made by SB Sea and our members to maintain an active and informed role in the process of managing our very unique and precious marine environment. To this end, in an attempt to present a balanced and impartial exposure to the many facets of the debate on marine reserves. We hope to provide facts for our members so we can all contribute—to make a difference—in the public process of cooperative fisheries management.
