The commercial Dungeness crab fishery between the Mendocino-Sonoma County line to the U.S.-Mexico border is set to close at noon on April 8.
The Center for Biological Diversity called for a mandated transition to ropeless crab fishing methods.
The commercial Dungeness crab fishery between the Mendocino-Sonoma County line to the U.S.-Mexico border is set to close at noon on April 8, CDFW officials said. Commercial Dungeness crab season traditionally starts in mid-November, however, in recent years the seasons have been continually delayed due to either domoic acid or concerns for whales. This year, the commercial season began on Dec. 29.
The non-profit organization Center for Biological Diversity applauded the state’s move and called for a transition to commercial traps that don’t use ropes.
