Question: I am a resident of Northern California and have been an avid
“crabber” for quite a while. For a new adventure I’d like to take
up “shrimping” but need some information on where to go, when to go
and how to catch shrimp. Is it legal to recreationally catch shrimp? If
so, what are the seasons and bag limits? Is there still a viable
population of shrimp in California? Thanks for any information to point
me in the right direction. (Tony M.)

MLPA Initiative Hosts Workshop on North Coast Marine Protected Area
Planning
Workshop to include review of north coast MPA planning process,
MarineMap training
Sacramento – A public workshop is scheduled for members of
California’s north coast community to learn more about the Marine
Life Protection Act (MLPA) planning process. The MLPA requires the state
to reexamine and redesign California’s system of marine protected
areas (MPAs) in state waters. The event, which is free and open to all
interested members of the public, will be hosted by the MLPA Initiative,
a public-private partnership dedicated to implementing the 1999 law.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
● review the north coast MPA planning process,
● learn about the necessary components of an MPA proposal,
● be introduced to science and feasibility guidelines, and
● receive basic training in MarineMap, the MLPA Initiative’s
online mapping tool.

Question: Is it legal to spearfish at night? If so, what fish can be
taken? This sounds intriguing to me since I enjoy night diving and it
would give me another activity to enjoy while doing so, but I want to
stay within the law. Thank you for your time. Just to be clear, I would
be diving along the North Coast. (Anonymous)
