| CCA’s Position on Marine Protected Areas/No Fishing Zones |
| [Return to Advocacy Positions Main Page] |
CCA will fight to protect access for recreational fishermen to all public fishing areas unless…
- …there is a clear indication that recreational fishermen are the cause of a specific conservation problem and that less severe conservation measures, such as gear restrictions, possession limits, size restriction, quotas, or closed seasons will not adequately address the targeted conservation problem.
- …the closed-area regulation includes specific, measurable criteria to determine the conservation benefit of the closed area on the affected stocks of fish and provides a timetable for periodic review of the continued need for the closed area at least once every three years.
- …the closed areas is no larger than that which is supported by the best available science.
- …provision is made to reopen the closed area to recreational fishing whenever the targeted conservation problem no longer exists.
