Get Involved in the Process

The success of this fishery management plan process largely depends on the continued involvement of members of the Southern California community. There are a number of ways members of the public can participate in this process:

• Sign up for the mailing list
  

  An online email service has been created to help keep stakeholders and the interested public informed about the Spiny Lobster FMP process and will be used for notifying interested parties about activities related to the FMP. To join the list, type your name and email address on the right and click the "Subscribe" button.

  For those who cannot receive email, sign up to receive announcements via the U.S. Postal Service ("snail mail") by contacting Ms. Rosalyn McFarland at (805) 568-1231 to provide your name and mailing address.

  Note that you may sign up for the email service OR receive announcements through snail mail, but not both. To reduce expense and impacts on the environment, we request that those able to receive email sign up for the email service.

  To terminate your subscription to the email service, simply clike the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any of the Spiny Lobster FMP emails. To unsubscribe from U.S. mail, please call Ms. McFarland at (805) 568-1231 and request to be removed.
