Letter from Congressman Mike Thompson, Northern California(D) to the California Fish and Game Commission UNEQUIVOCALLY opposing the reopening of San Miguel Island to Commercial Abalone Harvest.

When Congressman Thompson was a State Senator he authored SB 463 in 1997 that closed the abalone fishery south of Golden Gate due to the radical depletion of the resource due to overharvest and disease.

Thank You Congressman Thompson!
