This position is not a pro active one, it only settles for a "MAYBE we can keep it in its present state" frame of mind. If government leaders had not taken a strong stand along the way we would not have had things like our National Parks.
I have no doubt that it is extremely difficult for the "average" person to really understand what is going on in our local ocean. It is not an infinite sustainable resource that can be taken for granted. We are not a poorest of the poor third world nation where we have to eat and pillage every conceivable resource that we have. California has the ability and the knowledge to build a "savings account" that will benefit everyone in the future.
