Document Description
The proposed project is the adoption of regulations to implement the fishery management plan for Pacific herring fishing under the State's jurisdiction. The project includes both commercial and recreational fishing as an element of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Pacific herring management program. Herring are primarily harvested commercially for their roe (eggs) during the months of January through March (spawning season) using small- mesh, set gill nets to take whole fish. Minor fisheries are also conducted for roe on kelp, human consumption, and bait purposes.
