John Griffith's Update on Local MR's The board of commissioners of the Port of Coos Bay voted for good sense and sound public process last month by affirming its Cape Arago Marine Reserve committee's recommendation that no new marine reserves or marine protected areas be established at Cape Arago. The port commissions forwarded the recommendation on to the state Ocean Policy Advisory Council. Commissioner Caddy McKeown's motion, approved unanimously, stated that when the state has data from its new no-fishing marine reserves elsewhere on the coast, the Port Commission may take the subject up again locally. The 34-member Cape Arago Committee voted last March by two-third majority for no new MRs or MPAs. There's already four research reserves and a marine garden at the Cape, the state has budgeted no general fund to study the two new reserves it's designated, and it will probably be years -- if ever, given that there's no general fund money going into the project -- before data are gathered that might lead people here to want a new MR of their very own. In 2010 the committee unanimously voted for a consensus statement that included a point that the committee was unaware of any biological problem at the Cape that would recommend for an MR. But in their dissent report, the losing one-third said lack of a problem does not suggest that a new reserve(s) should not be put at Cape Arago. Regardless off the harm it would do to their neighbors, they opined that a new MR could bring potential grants for them to study it. They also criticized the process for not including an examination of studies other MRs by MR scientists. I also felt that was a shortcoming but for a reason opposite of theirs. Having been on both the original and new Ocean Policy Advisory Councils as well as the Port's Cape Arago Committee, I knew they'd complain if we didn't make our work much longer by indulging them in a pointless debate about irrelevant science. I was over-ruled by the majority voting on that issue at that time when we were deciding direction for our committee's work. The majority apparently felt that wading through irrelevant scientific literature was unnecessary. Now, predictably, the minority on the final No-New-MRs-or-MPAs committee vote are trying to allege that that was a fatal shortcoming of our committee. I am grateful to the Port commissioners for their vote. What it will mean in the long run is anyone's guess. MR advocates aren't going away. Their leadership is paid to try to put rural folks out of work, or they work at our universities and feel that we need to sacrifice more than our taxes to keep them satisfied.
