No Bay-Delta monies!

From the California Ocean Protection Council website:

The California Ocean Protection Council was established pursuant to the requirements of the California Ocean Protection Act that was signed into law in 2004 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The council consists of the Secretary for Resources Mike Chrisman (Chair); State Lands Commission Chair, State Controller John Chiang; Secretary for Environmental Protection Linda Adams; two public members, Susan Golding, CEO and President of the Golding Group, and Geraldine Knatz, Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles; and two non voting members, Senator Darrell Steinberg and Assemblymember Pedro Nava. The council will help coordinate and improve the protection and management of California's ocean and coastal resources and implement the Governor's 'Ocean Action Plan' released in October 2004.

The council is tasked with the following responsibilities:

* Establish policies to coordinate the collection and sharing of scientific data related to coast and ocean resources between agencies.
* Identify and recommend to the Legislature changes in law.
