Notaro - I see it as a lot of more extreme environmentalist feel it necessary to shut down everything that may even tangentially impact "something". I can't say resource because they don't view it as a resource.

They are talking about closing off a big area of the Cali coast to all angling - though I'm pretty sure that a sailboat could transit the area and allow people to sightsee the area
A lot or Rec angler groups (and some comm) have teamed up with "Conservation" groups in the past and have gotten good results from those partnerships. Some groups want to go too far. Close the beaches to everyone - not just properly equipped vehicles, close to fishermen & woman - sure bird watching is OK. These are extreme groups.
OK - I'm rambling here
