The Sportfishing Association of California has been working through the Mexican Government to create a process for access to the Guadalupe biosphere on a multi year basis that functioned for both our fleet and the Mexican government. We believed that the issue had been put to bed for 2009. Unfortunately there exists an interpretation of Mexican Immigration law by some that has again denied us access to the Guadalupe biosphere on San Diego based sport-fishing vessels as of this date. Ken has already begun the negotiations in Mexico to create a process for access to the biosphere for 2010 and beyond. This is a complex problem and the Sportfishing vessels of San Diego will work with the Mexican authorities to create a fair and realistic process for all concerned. Please realize that Mexico and the United States are neighbors entwined together by a common border, we need to solve issues so that all parties are satisfied with the end result. Our nations need to become increasingly closer working partners. It will be in everyone's best interest. Thank you for your loyalty, understanding and support to the San Diego fleet.
