California's state fisheries scientists reviewed the expansion petitions and recommended denying them, concluding that they bring no new or compelling science to the table and would not actually improve conservation. Despite these findings, future angler access is threatened in coastal areas throughout the state. 

This is your moment to speak up - and protect your fishing access - before the commission votes later this year. 

Please take one minute to tell the Commission: follow the science, keep the current zones, and protect equal fishing for everyone.
