2024 salmon fishing off California's coast banned .

Salmon fishing off California's coast is banned for the second consecutive year due to dwindling stocks. The Pacific Fishery Management Council, which sets Pacific salmon seasons, voted unanimously to cancel all commercial and recreational salmon fishing for 2024, affecting the state's fishing industry that supports tens of thousands of jobs. The decision follows low water levels and high temperatures in rivers where salmon spawn, resulting in historically low population numbers for the species.
