Establishment of California Marine Protected Areas Now Stalled

"California's budget woes have stalled plans to create an 1,100-mile necklace of coastal marine reserves to protect and renew the environment along the length of the state. Planning for the reserves is required by a 1999 law, but wildlife officials said Tuesday that the state can't afford the estimated $1.7 million to $2.3 million it would take to complete planning by the Jan. 1, 2005, deadline." - excerpt from http://www.enn.com/news/2004-01-14/s_12028.asp
