Chinook salmon populations facing major declines have prompted the Pacific Fishery Management Council to recommend a second-year ban on fishing along the California coast, affecting both commercial and recreational fishing sectors.
The closure of coastal fishing for two consecutive years due to struggling salmon populations has a significant economic impact on California's commercial salmon fishing fleet, resulting in individuals seeking alternative sources of income.
The decision to cease fishing operations is a challenging one, influenced by the drastic decline in salmon populations due to adverse environmental conditions several years ago, with expectations of recovery not until 2026 or 2027.
