§ 79009 Sea Urchin Fishery Commission

• •This law helps sea urchin fishers work together to manage their fishing better.
• •They can team up to protect sea urchins, improve how they catch and sell them, and find new ways to sell more.
• •The goal is to make the sea urchin fishing business stronger and smarter.

A group of sea urchin fishers notice that the number of sea urchins is getting low in their usual fishing spots.

Under this law, they can join forces to figure out how to protect the sea urchins, like setting rules on how many each person can catch or finding new places to fish. They can also work together to sell their catch in new markets or find better ways to process the sea urchins so they don’t go to waste.
