Commercial salmon fishing to open in California for the first time since 2022 as population rebounds
Regulators will allow limited catches and strict vessel quotas after three years of closures that cost California fishing communities nearly $100 million, officials said.
- Federal fishery managers voted to open waters off the coast of California to commercial salmon fishing for the first time since 2022, with the population rebounding after wet winters ended a long drought.
- The Pacific Fishery Management Council, which manages fisheries off the West Coast, barred commercial salmon fishing off California for the past three years before allowing some recreational fishing last year.
- Biologists say the Chinook salmon population declined dramatically after years of drought, but recent wet winters have brought in more cold water, which the fish need to spawn, helping populations bounce back.
