Decision made to protect humpback whales from getting entangled in fishing lines
The commercial Dungeness crab-fishing season started late for the Bay Area and Central Coast regions. And it’s ending early.
Until then, the state is asking all fishermen and mariners to keep an eye out for entangled whales and report them to the U.S. Coast Guard so that a “disentanglement response team” can be sent out to remove the gear. The ruling applies to the coastal region from the Sonoma-Mendocino county border south to the Mexican border It does not affect the commercial crabbers in the far northern part of the state — Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties . Nor does it affect recreational crabbing.
