Petition Status - Non-Motorized Vessel

We received a letter from FGC Executive Director Miller-Henson regarding the status of our petition:

"At its December 13-14, 2023 meeting, the Commission referred your petition to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for its review and recommendation regarding whether to grant or deny the petition. You will be notified when the petition is scheduled for further action at a Commission meeting."

This was anticipated from our previous meeting with CDFW staff.  I am still planning to attend the Feb. 14 FGC meeting in Sacramento, and you are welcome to join me. One of the agenda items I am very interested is:

7. Recreational fishing regulations for federal groundfish Discuss proposed amendments to (a) recreational fishing regulations for federal groundfish in state waters for consistency with federal rules in 2024, and (b) recreational groundfish seasons, bag and depth limits.
(Amend sections 27.20, 27.25, 27.30, 27.35, 27.40, 27.45, 27.50, 28.26, 28.27, 28.28, 28.29, 28.47, 28.48, 28.49, 28.55, and 28.56)
