Document Description
The proposed amendments to 14 CCR Section 132.8 (RAMP) constitute the proposed project for purposes of CEQA compliance. They are part of CDFW’s comprehensive strategy to avoid, minimize, mitigate, and monitor entanglements of Actionable Species: blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), Central America and Mexico Distinct Population Segments of humpback whale (Megaptera novaengliae), and Pacific leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), in commercial Dungeness crab fishing gear off the coast of California. The proposed amendments would add new RAMP components consisting of new buoy and line marking requirements. The proposed amendments would also modify existing RAMP components. These regulatory changes are being proposed to satisfy requirements for the Incidental Take Permit pursuant to National Marine Fisheries Service feedback, help streamline implementation processes to conserve staff resources and clarify existing language to facilitate implementation and enforcement.
