California coast salmon fishing banned for second consecutive year due to dwindling stocks.
Salmon fishing off the California coast has been banned for the second year in a row due to dwindling stocks. The Pacific Fishery Management Council, which regulates fishing along the West Coast, voted unanimously to cancel the commercial and recreational ocean salmon season. The decision aims to protect California's waning salmon populations, which have been affected by drought, heatwaves, agriculture, and damming. This is the fourth time in state history that salmon fishing has been banned.
