The local coastal plan amendment has been officially withdrawn and our fishing fleet will maintain its vital access to the harbor. This outcome confirms that the character of our working waterfront is worth protecting against those who view it only as a development opportunity. We should remain attentive to future …

Please sign to oppose the Local Coastal Plan Amendment ( LCPA ) application from Ventura County and the developer, Channel Islands Harbor Properties LLC ( CIHP ). Clearly, the County and the developer have not considered the commercial fishing communities needs in the Harbor currently and in the future. Not only will this amendment affect Fisherman’s Wharf, our current unloading area but the entire harbor. At a recent meeting at the Oxnard Community Center concerning the proposal, it was glaringly obvious the Harbor Manager was the personal salesman and advocate for the developer and the developer had no clue that Channel Islands Harbor had an active and vibrant commercial fishing fleet. It was disappointing to say the least that the developer with the Counties help wants to turn areas of the harbor into a private enclave for the elite.

Fisheries, both commercial and recreational are critical to the waterfront's tourism value. It's seafood and fishing families for sure, but it's also visitorship, vibrancy, restaurant profits, local hotel revenue -- even the knick-knack, sea shell and T-shirt shops do better in a harbor that supports its fisheries.
The number of CA commercial fishermen has declined over 80% in the last 30 years. CA needs more offloading infrastructure, not less.
Having Been a Commerical Fisherman for the last 45 years we need to save all the working waterfronts along the California Coast
Really?? All the talk about jobs and the city is willing to destroy a thriving business that employs so many, supports many families, and pays the exorbitant taxes of CA?? This hypocrisy and favoritism of the developers need to STOP!! Let s keep our fishing industry and fish LOCAL!!
Please keep the loading dock open as it provides a safe place to load and unload for local commercial fishing operations throughout the community day and night all year long.
Alow fishing activities to remain in Harbor
Stop trying to ruin the livlihood of Ventura County natives.

Fishermen were here long before the harbor-developers. They must be supported first and foremost, and their needs accommodated above all else. They provide a vital part of our economy. They risk their lives in this dangerous channel profession and deserve the upmost respect, attention and assistance at all levels and at all times!
