California to impose sweeping limits on ocean fishing
California regulators move to create a vast system of marine protected areas from Santa Barbara to Half Moon Bay, banning or restricting fishing to protect kelp forests and reefs. The plan, opposed by fishermen, seeks to curb overfishing and may set a model for others, while scientists warn of urgent need to safeguard oceans from collapse.
