Governor Brown Signs Legislation Strengthening Enforcement of Marine Protected Areas

Assembly Bill 298, carried by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, allows Department of Fish and Wildlife officers and other law enforcement agencies to combat poaching and illegal fishing in the areas off the state’s coastline by issuing violators a ticket — similar to a traffic violation — to enforce the laws.  This bill helps streamline the process and hold poachers more accountable.
