More to this Marine Protected Areas than meets the eye... One thing that you can be sure wont be discussed at the upcoming OPC meeting is the fact that Ron LeValley, the co-chair of the MLPA Initiative Science Advisory Team for the North Coast that oversaw the crafting of alleged marine protected areas that violate the gathering and fishing rights of the Yurok and other Tribes, is now in federal prison for conspiracy to embezzle over $850,000 from the Yurok Tribe! (indybay.org/newsitems/2014/05/23/18756161.php) Rather than discussing this draft plan, the members of the Commission should instead ask for a review of the alleged MLPA science in light of the fact that LeValley, the head science official for the North Coast MLPA process, was involved with a scheme to embezzle money through false invoices for scientific spotted owl surveys that were never conducted!
