§ 15413 Protection Of Cultivated Aquatic Life

This law makes it illegal to go onto a leased water area where fish or other sea creatures are being raised and either take those animals or destroy them or the boundary markers without the lease holder's permission.

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't enter a leased water area to harvest cultivated aquatic life without the lessee's consent.
  • •You can't willfully destroy the cultivated aquatic life.
  • •You can't damage or remove boundary markers that define the leased area.

Example

A fisherman tries to pull out fish from a pond that a farmer has leased to raise trout, without asking the farmer.

Because the pond is under a water bottom lease, the fisherman must get the farmer's permission before removing the trout. If he takes them or damages the markers that show the pond's limits, he is breaking the law.
