Ugh.

Didn't see Lobos on the list at least. Hopefully we all had the collective wisdom to vote for the right people to solve the budget crisis, but it's not looking too good right now. Would a state park closure mean no access or just no staffing?

I believe it would result in full closure of the parks.

That list is Bay Area only and doesn't go as far south as Monterey.

Lobos IS on the list.

Closure would mean no access.

So who knows what can be done to prevent the closure of Point Lobos?

I saw Monterey SB on that list as well, And yes what can we all do to stop this????

Well the first thing would be to contact your state representatives.

I have a feeling the governor is putting forth a huge list with the intention of haggling it down. So the key thing would be making arguments for particular parks while realizing that some parks will probably end up getting closed.


Doesn't Lobos have an extensive research area? I'd contact those people to help get involved also.

There is no such thing as collective wisdom.

About 80% of the ocean area of Pt. Lobos State Reserve is closed
to recreational diving. However, it is not a research area per se.
