MEDIA ADVISORY -- La Jolla High School Students to Release White Seabass into Mission Bay to Help Restore Depleted Fish Stocks

Reporters and editors: Looks like a big fish story with students from La
Jolla High. Your coverage is invited. Contact is Mike Shane or Mark
Drawbridge from Hubbs Sea World Institute, 619-226-3870.

Attention: Assignment Editors
January 23, 2013
MEDIA ADVISORY

LA JOLLA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO RELEASE WHITE SEABASS INTO
MISSION BAY TO HELP RESTORE DEPLETED FISH STOCKS

WHAT: Students participating in Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute¹s
(HSWRI) Seabass in the Classroom (SITC) program will release their second
batch of cultured white seabass into Mission Bay.

WHEN: Thursday, January 24, 2013, 2:30pm @ Mission Bay.

WHERE: Mission Bay, Crown Point Park near Kendall Frost Reserve.

DETAILS: HSWRI scientists and students from La Jolla High School will
release cultured white seabass (WSB) into Mission Bay. The students have
been raising the juvenile WSB in their classroom since September. Through
this classroom activity, students are learning about the sustainability of
a natural resource through the practices of environmental science, and the
importance of water quality as a factor in animal, plant, and human
health.

This HSWRI program is part of the Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery
Program (OREHP). OREHP is the result of an extraordinary partnership
between California State resources agencies, public utility companies,
fishing groups and the scientific community to restore the depleted
populations of recreationally and commercially important marine fish.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, annual party boat catches of white seabass in
California dropped from over 55,000 to less than 3,500. Partly as a result
of that, in 1983, the OREHP Advisory Panel identified white seabass
(Atractoscion nobilis) as the most appropriate species to initiate this
long-term research program. Since program funding is generated by fishing
license fees north of the Mexican border and south of Point Arguello,
HSWRI¹s fish culture, tag and release, and assessment activities are
focused in Southern California.

Due to generous funding from SDG&E and other public utility companies,
OREHP releases thousands of fish each year and in 2013, will release its
two millionth white seabass. Adult fish have been recovered up to 13 years
after release and more than 350 miles from their release site.

MEDIA INTEREST: Interview opportunities with HSWRI scientists and high
school students regarding not only the educational significance of this
classroom-based, hands-on, science activity but also the critical role
of aquaculture in providing a safe and sustainable seafood supply to the
American people and its importance in contributing to a healthy economy.

CONTACTS: Mike Shane/Mark Drawbridge, Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute
(HSWRI) 619-226-3870.
Day of event: Eileen Sigler, HSWRI 619-672-6062; Allison Zaragoza, SDGE
619-820-1517

Dave James, La Jolla High School 858-454-3081

NEWS RELEASE -- San Diego Unified Superintendent Statement on Governor's January Budget Proposal

NEWS RELEASE from the San Diego Unified School District, January 10, 2012

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SUPERINTENDENT STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET
PROPOSAL

The Governor's proposal seems like a good starting point for restoring
funding to public education, although it will take us time to analyze its
impacts for our District. We are committed to providing stability for our
schools in the 2013-14 year. As we study the details of the Governor's
proposal, we are hopeful we can maintain stable school staffing in the
next budget year.

After five years of cuts to education, it is a relief to see that trend
reversed, but as the Governor stated, it will take time to return
education funding to the adequate levels that we saw in 2008. This is a
step forward but at first look we believe that that there will be
enhancements that we and others in the education community will be urging
the Legislature to make as they begin to refine this preliminary proposal
from the governor.

As we go through our own budget process over the coming weeks, we will
make clear to both the Governor's office and to the Legislature where the
proposal needs to be improved in order to achieve the goal of stability
for our schools in the coming year.


BILL KOWBA
Superintendent, San Diego Unified School District

# # #

Note to reporters: We are pleased that funding has been increased but
further study of the details is necessary before any conclusions can be
reached. Our Finance team will be doing this work over the coming days
and will prepare a report to the Board for its January 22 meeting. Any
detailed comment will have to wait until that report is completed.
