At its Aug. 17 meeting, the California Fish and Game Commission acted on several issues affecting California’s natural resources.
The following are just a few items of interest from the meeting held in Loleta at the Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria with an option for the public to join via Zoom.
The commission approved a five-year kelp harvest plan proposed by Sustainable Ocean Harvest, LLC for mechanical harvest of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in specified kelp beds in Santa Barbara County.
Commissioners also adopted a second 90-day extension of emergency regulations for recreational sub-bag limits for vermilion rockfish, copper rockfish and quillback rockfish.
This action conforms state regulations with federal regulations that were recommended by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and then promulgated by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
