White Seabass
Update (please scroll down)
Welcome!
We
are a group of marine biologists, fishermen, sailors, surfers,
swimmers, and divers —
ocean enthusiasts in general.
Help
us TAKE ACTION to benefit the ocean!
Project
Pacific is devoted to actions that benefit the ocean— balancing
enhancement, use and preservation. Its focus is from the coastal waters of San Diego and
outward. The ocean recognizes no boundaries, its waters move freely, and it serves as a
shared area for all.
Project
Pacific's primary interests are fisheries restoration, habitat enhancement, water
quality, education, and resource management. We invite you to join us in
individual projects with the belief that you will then become advocates for wise
stewardship of our marine resources.*

WHITE SEABASS UPDATE
Project Pacific received 1,600
baby White Seabass in Sept. '06. Shortly after that a Sea Lion broke into
the pen and released or ate all 1,600 baby White Seabass. We are currently
rebuilding the pen. Hopefully by mid spring, we should be back up and
running again.

**************************
In April, the Project Pacific Growout pen
was hit by vandals. Early in the morning, three suspects (one was caught) cut
at least 3 holes in the net below the water line.
Due to the damage to the net, we
were forced to release the bass early.
We estimate that somewhere between 500 to 700
Seabass were released.
The
Board of Directors have decided to buy a new net and we hope to have the
pen fixed soon. Project Pacific would like to thank all the volunteers
that helped us with this project.
