...traipse along the western edge of central California, in the region called Big Sur, which begins in the south with William Randolph Hearst's monument to the search for happiness, at San Simeon, and extends 90 miles north to Carmel. Earle has enlarged our purview to include the Monterey Bay area 12 miles farther northwest, so that we are able to look at Elkhorn Slough off Moss Landing and Monterey Canyon.

As part of the International Year of the Ocean, President Clinton and Vice President Gore will be speaking at an environmental conference in Monterey, Calif., and this sort of overfishing is one of the issues they have been asked to address...
