'- Daily Kos post by Dan Bacher - Below is the Map of Southern California "marine protected areas" (MPAs) located in both state and federal waters courtesy of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Catherine Reheis-Boyd President of the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), chaired the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force to create so-called "marine protected areas" off the South Coast while oil companies were conducting offshore fracking operations. Fracking presents a threat to fish, wildlife and the ecosystem in both "marine protected areas" and the waters outside of them. State MPAs fail to protect the ocean from fracking, acidizing and other offshore drilling techniques, as well as from pollution, military testing, corporate aquaculture and all human impacts on the ocean other than sustainable fishing and gathering.'

They didn't need to get permission because there was no Federal jurisdiction and their plans did not affect other states.
