Document Description
The Nearshore Fishery Management Plan concerns 19 species of finfish that generally frequent kelp beds and reefs in less than 120 feet (20 fm) of water off the Coast of California and its islands. Of these 19 species, 13 are so-called rockfish. The biology and life history of many of these species make them vulnerable to environmental change and to overfishing. Fishing for these species, which has been intense over the last two decades, has not been managed comprehensively. Declines in the abundance of these species and in other fisheries has generated economic and ecological disruption and aggravated competition among commercial and recreational fishermen and other user groups.
