§ 79175 Spiny Lobster Fishery Research

Food and Agricultural Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•The law allows a group (the commission) to do or pay others to do science research about spiny lobsters.
•The research can be about how to keep lobster numbers healthy, how to manage fishing, and how to sell lobsters in smart ways.
•The commission can use the research results however they think is best.

Example

A team of scientists studies how many baby lobsters survive each year and finds that too many are being caught before they can grow up.

The commission can use this research to make new rules, like limiting how many lobsters fishermen can catch, so there are enough lobsters left to keep the population healthy.
