I understand that in the near future you will be having a presentation on the "Marine Reserves" that NOAA / US Fish & Wildlife have planned for the Southern Oregon Coast. I strongly recommend each of you contact other public officials from Bandon to the California border for their thoughts on this pending disaster. This will destroy fishing, recreational and commercial, on the Oregon Coast. I find no coordination of this project in place.
By law, Federal Land Management Policy Act (FLMPA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), all Federal agencies are required to "coordinate" with local governments on all federal plans/projects. The agencies will attempt to get "local governments" to be "Cooperating agencies (CA's)". According to federal handbooks these are two different functions. All of your contacts should be with the "Coordinating Officer" assigned to this project and no other official.
The link, http://naturalresources.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=320773 will show that the agencies use flawed science in their studies.
The actual court case can be found at, http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Published/112337.P.pdf If anyone has questions about the above statement feel free to contact me, Theo Stanley, 347-4307. I have had some experience in this area. Respectfully, a concerned citizen.
