I bring you, SDReefs, hard facts.....

I called my old boss, aka La Jolla Shores' Sargent (3-SAM), he pointed me to: water.ca.gov/desalination/Laws/ -and- water.ca.gov/nav/nav.cfm?loc=t&id=105
Of note here are: SB 1319, Burton - 2004: The California Ocean Protection Act
(e) Provide for public access to the ocean and ocean resources, including to marine protected areas, for recreational use, andaesthetic, educational, and scientific purposes, consistent with the sustainable long-term conservation of those resources.
And since there is roughly 1.3 billion cubic kilometres (310 million cu mi) of NSW on the planet, we are safe under the 'consistent with the sustainable long-term conservation of those resource' clause.
In addition:
(d) "Sustainable" and "sustainability" mean both of the following:
(1) Continuous replacement of resources, taking into accountfluctuations in abundance and environmental variability.
(2) Securing the fullest possible range of present and long-termeconomic, social, and ecological benefits, while maintaining biological diversity.
Further, here's a list of the better places, all being launch ramps for ease of access, and water retrieval... Its a custom Google Map with the less used locations... http://g.co/maps/ss5qx
When utilizing NSW from any of these resources, always check http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/deh/water/pdf/BBcurrent.pdf or call (619) 338-2073 to listen to the current beach & bay status closures.
