by For all you procrastinators (including me), a reminder that tomorrow,
Friday, April 14, is the end of the extended period of comment on a
proposed ban on chumming in the Monterey Bay Marine National Sanctuary.
It's too late to write, but you can still use the FAX machine !!
I won't go into all the arguments against chumming in areas populated
by surfers and windsurfers, but I urge you to get on over to the
FAX machine and make your voice heard. You can also get on the
mailing list for further notices by calling Elizabeth Moore at the
voice number.
