THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
PARTNERSHIP SIR WE WELCOME YOU.
AND COMING TO US LIVE FROM HIS
OFFICE WE'RE GONNA TURN IT OVER
TO YOU. FOR AN UPDATE FROM THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH
AND WILDLIFE HOW YOU DOING SIR.
I'M WELL SIR THANK YOU FOR THE
INVITATION THE CHANCE TO APPEAR
TODAY. LIKE YOU I CANNOT WAIT
FOR THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY THE
RETURN OF THE GREATEST FISH. CAN
EVENING FOOD RECEPTION POSSIBLE
AND SPRING OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE SO I'M REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT THAT. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A
FEW MINUTES AND GIVE THE
COMMITTEE AND YOU IS CHAIR THE
OVERVIEW OF SALMON. I LOVE GOING
NORTH TO SOUTH TOUCHING ON
ESCAPE MAD AND MORTALITY
METRICS. TURNING TO THE EFFORTS
WE'RE DOING AT THE DEPARTMENT
UPGRADE OUR- ANADROMOUS HATCHERY
INFRASTRUCTURE. CONCLUDE WITH A
QUICK RUN THROUGH DUNGENESS CRAB
KNOWING YOU HAVE A SUBSEQUENT
PANEL AND A FEW MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS. SO I'M GONNA GO NORTH TO
SOUTH. AND I'M ALSO GOING TO GO.
INLAND COVERING DIFFERENT STOCKS
OF SALMON AND BOEOTIAN. AND JUST
FOR THOSE THAT MAY TWO MEN. THAT
ARE NEWER TO THESE TOPICS I KNOW
ALL OF OUR PANELISTS ARE
FAMILIAR WITH THE TERMS. YOU CAN
HEAR ME TALK ABOUT MORTALITY AND
WE DEFINED THAT AT THE
DEPARTMENT TO MEAN THE LOSS OF
FISH. IN A FISH STOCK THROUGH
DEATH OR REMOVAL THAT'S NOT
ASSOCIATED WITH FISHING. AND WE
USE MORTALITY IS A METRIC
BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO EVALUATE
THE POPULATION SIZE. AND
DETERMINE HOW MUCH FISH IN EACH
SEASON ARE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE
TO CATCH THAT'S CALLED HARVEST
NUMBERS. ESCAPEMENT IS- A TERM
WE USED TO ESTIMATE THE NUMBER
OF FISH THAT RETURN TO THEIR
SPAWNING GROUNDS SO COME BACK
FROM THE OCEAN SWIM UP THE RIVER
TO THEIR SPAWNING GROUNDS. AND
THE ESTIMATES THERE WE USE A
VARIETY OF SOURCES WE KELP FISH
ENTERING THE HATCHERIES. WE
CANNOT FISH MIGRATING PAST DAMS
WE DO CARCASS SURVEYS WE DO LIVE
FISH COUNTS ACROSS THE STATE. WE
DO KRIEL SINCE CENSUS GATHERING
AND WE DO GROUND AND AERIAL
SURVEYS OF RED SWITCHER THE
LITTLE NEST FOR THE SALMON EGGS.
AND THIS ESCAPEMENT METRIC
REALLY HELPS US DETERMINE THE
SIZE. AND THE HEALTH OF THE
POPULATION OF ANY GIVEN SALMON
STOCKS. SO IF WE START WITH
CALDWELL. AND WE STARTED IN THE
NORTH. WE KNOW THE CALL HOME
EXISTING CALIFORNIA NOW FROM
JUST SOUTH OF SAN FRANCISCO ON
UP TO THE OREGON BORDER. AND IN
AN EXAMPLE OF SOME GOOD NEWS.
THE. TWENTY TWENTY ONE TO TWENTY
TWENTY TWO ESCAPEMENT FOR COHO
THERE ARE NORTH COAST STREAMS
WAS ABOUT 20% HIGHER. THAN THE
LONG TERM AVERAGE TURNS OUT IT'S
ACTUALLY THE SECOND HIGHEST IN A
TWENTY YEAR PERIOD. AND- GROUND
THAT IN SOME LOCATIONS MANY OF
YOUR PANELISTS ARE FAMILIAR
WITH. TWENTY TWENTY ONE TO
TWENTY TWO THE TOTAL CO HOST
SCAPE MEANT. IN THE FRESHWATER
CREEK UP IN HUMBOLDT BAY WAS
EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FISH.
JUST THE YEAR BEFORE THAT NUMBER
WAS THREE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE
FISH. AND MORE IS BETTER IN THIS
SCENARIO. TAKING MILL CREEK AND
SMITH RIVER AS AN EXAMPLE. THE
MOST RECENT NUMBER OF CALL READ
ABUNDANCE WAS TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
THREE. THE PRIOR YEAR IS ONE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE. SO KIND
OF MOVING DOWN THE COAST IF YOU
LOOK INTO THE SOUTH FORK OF THE
EEL RIVER AND YOU THINK ABOUT
CALL HELLO. THEIR LONG TERM
AVERAGE WAS ABOUT 85% OF LONG
TERM AVERAGE. LAST YEAR'S
ESTIMATES FOR THE COAL HOLE READ
ABUNDANCE IN THE SOUTH FORK OF
THE EEL WAS ABOUT 9% OF ALL OF
THE LONG TERM AVERAGE. IT WE'VE
ALSO HAD IN THE SOUTH FORK OF
THE EEL THE STRONGEST COHORT
BASED ON A THREE YEAR RUNNING
AVERAGE OF REDLANDS SO AGAIN
SOME GOOD NEWS. IF YOU LOOK
DIRECTLY INTO THE CENTRAL COAST
IN THAT STRETCH FROM SAY SANTA
CRUZ TO THE OREGON BORDER. WE
SEE THAT THE COASTAL COHO
RETURNS WERE GENERALLY SLIGHTLY
HIGHER THAN AVERAGE. WE THINK
THIS IS BECAUSE WE HAD LATE
PRECIPITATION RAIN AND TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. IT INCREASED OUR
STREAM FLOWS AND ALLOW MORE OF
THE ADULTS TO MIGRATE UPSTREAM.
BUT IN THE IN THE MIDST OF THAT
RELATIVELY BETTER NEWS. WE ALSO
KNOW THAT IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
AND TWENTY TWENTY TWO. WE STILL
AT THE DEPARTMENT HAD TO DO A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FISH
RESCUES ACROSS MENDOCINO. SINAMA
MORAN AND HUMBOLDT COUNTY'S. WE
DID TWENTY EIGHT RESCUES IN
NINETEEN WATERSHED AND THOSE
FOUR COUNTIES. I JUST THINKING
ABOUT THE RUSSIAN RIVER WHICH IS
A CORNERSTONE FOR THE POPULATION
OF COHO. OVER SEVEN THOUSAND
NINE HUNDRED JUVENILE COHO WERE
RESCUED ENTRANCE LOCATED. AND WE
HAD SIGNIFICANT- SPAWNING
DRYNESS KIND OF THE RED STRIDING
UP. DUE TO THE HYDROLOGIC
DROUGHT. AND ABOUT A THOUSAND OF
THOSE CO HOLE WERE BROUGHT INTO
CAPTIVITY AT WARM SPRINGS
HATCHERY. SO THINKING NOW ONLY
ABOUT IN MY UPDATE THE KLAMATH
IN THE TRINITY. WE HAD A PRE
SEASON FORECASTS FOR ADULT FALL
CHINOOK POST OCEAN FISHERY OF.
SIXTY SIX THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
ADULTS. WHICH IS WELL BELOW THE
LONG TERM AVERAGE OF A HUNDRED
THOUSAND. TOTAL ESCAPE AND
MONITORING IS JUST STARTING. BUT
OUR EARLY INDICATIONS ARE THAT
WE WILL BE CLOSE TO THAT
PRESEASON ESTIMATE OF SIXTY SIX
THOUSAND. EIGHT HUNDRED ADULT
FISH. WERE JUST STARTING OUR
DAHLE TRAPPING AT OUR HATCHERIES
IN THE KLAMATH TRINITY SYSTEM.
THEY START TYPICALLY EARLY
OCTOBER SO WE DON'T HAVE THE
FIRST FULL ROUND OF DATA YET. WE
DO HAVE A TOTAL BASIN ADULT
QUOTA FOR LOWER KLAMATH RIVER
FALL CHINOOK. AND THAT QUOTE A
NUMBER IS TWO THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED AND NINETEEN. FISHING
STARTED PRETTY SLOW IN THAT
SYSTEM IT TOOK OFF- WITH A BIG
JUMP IN LATE AUGUST EARLY
SEPTEMBER. THE QUOTA I MENTIONED
HAS BEEN MET IN THE LOWER AND
UPPER KLAMATH IN THE FISHERIES
NOW CLOSED. AND I WOULD SUSPECT
BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE END OF
OCTOBER WILL HIT THE NUMBERS IN
THE LOWER AND UPPER TRINITY
SECTIONS AND THOSE WILL BE
CLOSED AS WELL. THE UPPER
TRINITY SPRING CHINOOK COUNTS AT
JUNCTION CITY WERE ACTUALLY OUR
SECOND HIGHEST SINCE NINETEEN
EIGHTY. SO EVERYWHERE THERE'S A
MOMENT OF SOMETHING THAT PERHAPS
LESS THAN GOOD NEWS THERE SEEMS
TO BE A GLIMMER OF HOPE WITH
GOODNESS. SO IT'S HIGH IN THE
UPPER TRINITY ON SPRING RUN. BUT
IF YOU GO OVER TO THE SOUTH FORK
TRINITY FOR SPRING RUN YOU'LL
SEE THEIR SEVERELY DEPRESSED.
AND WE'VE COUNTED LESS THAN
TWENTY FIVE. ADULT FISH. IN THE
SALMON RIVER THAT SPRING SHOULD
NOT POPULATION DID REBOUND.
SLIGHTLY THIS YEAR WITH TWO
HUNDRED NINETY FISH COUNTED. AND
THAT'S THE MOST IN THE LAST SIX
YEARS. BUT IT'S STILL ONLY ABOUT
50% OF THE LONG TERM AVERAGE.
LET ME TURN FROM THE COASTAL
SYSTEMS. TO THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
AND HERE IT'S ALSO A MIX OF SOME
GLIMMER OF BETTER NEWS WHILE
STILL STRUGGLING WITH DIFFICULT
ISSUES AND OTHER PLACES. IT'S
TOO EARLY FOR US TO GIVE FULL
PROJECTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR
CHINOOK ABUNDANCE. THAT FORECAST
IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AROUND
THE END OF FEBRUARY TWENTY
TWENTY THREE. WE KNOW AND YOU
KNOW CENTER AND THE PANELISTS. I
THINK BY NOW- MOST CALIFORNIANS
SHOULD BE AWARE. OUR DROUGHT
CONDITIONS IN THE STATE ARE
HAVING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON
OUR INLAND FISHERY RUNS THE
SALMON WHEN THEY MAKE IT INTO
THE REVERSE. AND THIS IS
PARTICULARLY TRUE ON OUR FALL
RUN FISHERY. OUR FALL RUN
MIGRATION IN RIVER THE LAST TWO
YEARS HAS BEEN VERY DELAYED. AND
IT'S RESULTED IN A POOR INLAND
FISHERIES. SO FAR IN TWENTY
TWENTY TO. OUR INLAND
RECREATIONAL HARVEST FOR FALL
RUN IS ABOUT 50% LESS THAN IT
WAS LAST YEAR. SO WE HAVE A
DOCUMENTED ELEVATED RESPOND KIND
OF MORTALITY OF FALL RUN
DOWNSTREAM OF WHAT'S CALLED
KNIGHTS LANDING ON THE
SACRAMENTO. AND THE LOWER
FEATHER RIVER NEAR THE
CONFLUENCE WITH THE SACRAMENTO.
DUE TO A SEVERE- COLUMN NARS
DISEASE WE'RE REALLY AWARE OF
THAT DISEASE RISK IT NOW. THANK
YOU THEM TO OUR FIST HEALTH LAB
PRONTO A NON. WE LIKELY SUSPECT
IS THE LONG PERIOD OF HIGHER
WATER TEMPERATURES THAT REALLY
RELATE TO LOWER RIVER FLOWS
BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT. THAT'S
WHAT'S EXACERBATING THE DISEASE
RISK WE DO EXPECT THE COLDER
TEMPERATURES THAT ARE EMERGING
ON THE HORIZON TO HELP RESOLVE
THIS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE
SACRAMENTO AT THE- CENTRAL
VALLEY IN THE SACRAMENTO'S X.
SCAPE A- THE GOAL WE HAVE THE
OBJECTIVE WE HAVE FOR THAT FALL
RUN CHINOOK FISHERY. IN OUR
FEDERAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS
IS THE NEXT STATEMENT GOAL
REMEMBER THE NUMBER COMING BACK.
OF A 1-002-200-0200 AND EIGHTY
THOUSAND ADULT SPAWNERS. WE
THINK SOMETHING IN THAT RANGE
INSURERS YEAR OVER YEAR
SUSTAINABILITY AND RECOVERY
REBOUND RESILIENCY. EARLIER THIS
YEAR WE ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED IN
THE FEDERAL COUNCIL TO TARGET
THE MAXIMUM END OF THE RANGE THE
HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND ADULTS
SPAWNER. BECAUSE THAT STOCK WAS
DECLARED OVERFISHED IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN DIGITAL- SPAWNER
ABUNDANCE AND WE JUST GOT IT
REBUILT. YEAH IN ITS FIRST YEAR
AS A RESULT STOCK THE NUMBERS
REALLY DROPPED ON SPAWNING
ESCAPEMENT BACK DOWN TO A
HUNDRED FOUR THOUSAND. SO WE'VE
ADVOCATING SETTING THE HIGHER
TARGET TO BE MORE PROTECTIVE SO
WE CAN REBUILD YET AGAIN FOR
RESILIENCY. FALL RUN IT'S BEEN
CHALLENGING AND THAT'S WHERE
SOME OF OUR WORST NEWS AND MY
UPDATE IS. BUT IF YOU TURN TO
WINTER RUN CHINOOK SALMON IN THE
SACRAMENTO SYSTEM. OUR ESTIMATE
DATA ANALYSIS IS ONGOING WE
SHOULD HAVE NUMBERS RELEASED IN
THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS BUT WE
DID HAVE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. IN
THE MANAGEMENT OF SUGGEST A
RESERVOIR THAT DID BENEFIT
WINTER RUN SALMON I RECALL A
YEAR AGO. WHERE YOU HAD VERY
POINTED QUESTIONS FOR ME
APPROPRIATELY ABOUT OUR WATER
MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN THAT
SYSTEM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER
FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES. AND
AN EXTREMELY HIGH MORTALITY RATE
A YEAR AGO. WHAT WHAT WAS
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR IS WORKING
WITH AGENCIES ARE IRRIGATION
FARMING COMMUNITY IN THE UPPER
SEXUALITY. WE PRODUCED ON A
REGIME FOR THAT RESERVOIR IN
THOSE DAMS WHERE FLOWS THROUGH
THE SUMMER. WERE MAINTAINED AT A
STABLE FLOW RATE. BY AND THAT
MEANT WE WERE ABLE TO
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE RED DE
WATERING. IN THE STRUCTURE
SACRAMENTO RIVER BELOW- RED
BLUFF AND REDDING. SO ARE ADULTS
RES RESPOND MORTALITY THIS YEAR
WAS VERY LOW BOB TWO POINT ONE
PERCENT. AND ARE MODELED
TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT EGG
MORTALITY RESULTS FROM OUR
NATIONAL MARINE. FISHERIES
SERVERS ARE STILL A COUPLE
MONTHS OUT. BUT WE THINK EGG
LOSSES. DUE TO THE ELEVATED
WATER TEMPERATURES WE SAW LAST
YEAR ARE GOING TO BE MUCH LOWER
BIG LOSSES THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF
THAT MORE STABLE SLOWER SHAME
MANAGEMENT STRATEGY- THE PARTIES
DEVELOPED. AND THEN YOU'VE
ALREADY MENTIONED ONE OF THE
MOST. REMARKABLE EVENTS I'VE
BEEN INVOLVED IN SINCE I LAST
SAW THIS JOINT COMMITTEE- WE
WERE ABLE WORKING WITH THE WOMEN
WENT TO TRIED AND SHE SAYS. TO
HAVE WINTER RUN CHINOOK SALMON.
BACK IN THE MCCLOUD RIVER THEIR
ANCESTRAL WATERS FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN EIGHTY YEARS AND- OUR
STAFF SLEPT ON THE SIDE OF THE
RIVER. OUR STAFF WORKED WITH THE
TRIBE IN THEIR USE. TO HOLD A
CEREMONY WHEN THESE EGGS WERE
PUT BACK IN THE RIVER. AND WE
WERE ABLE TO TAKE ABOUT FORTY
THOUSAND WHEN RUN EGGS FROM THE
FEDERAL FISH HATCHERY. AND REAR
THEM IN STREAMSIDE INCUBATORS IN
THE MCLEOD WATERSHED. AND THEN
WE WERE ABLE TO PUT ABOUT TWENTY
EIGHT THOUSAND OF THOSE HATCHED
EGGS. INTO THE RIVER. AND THE
CELEBRATION OF THE STORY DOESN'T
END THERE. WE ACTUALLY WORKING
WITH ALL THESE PARTIES PUT OUT
RHETORIC SCREW TRAPPED DOWN AT
THE MCLEOD RIVER BRIDGE- M. WE
CAPTURED THESE FISH WHEN THEY
GREW AND STARTED SWIMMING
DOWNSTREAM AND TO DATE WE HAVE
CAPTURED A THOUSAND. FROM THE
RIVER. WE'VE DRIVEN AROUND THE
FEDERAL RESERVOIR AND WE'VE
REINTRODUCED THEM INTO THE
SACRAMENTO RIVER AT- A BOAT RAMP
IN THE CITY THERE. THE AMOUNT OF
FISH SWIMMING DOWN IS TAILING
OFF BUT THE EMOTION AND THE
COMMITMENT AND- CALL MANAGEMENT
DYNAMIC WITH THE TRIBE WAS.
FIRST TIME EVENT FOR US AND-
MAKE KNOWLEDGE I KNOW AND A
SUBSEQUENT PANELISTS SHARE JAMES
WITH THE YUROK TRIBE. AND HE IN
AND CHAD APPEARED TO KARUK
TRIBE. ON THE BRINK OF SOMETHING
EQUALLY OUTSTANDING IN THE
KLAMATH RIVER WHERE WE WILL
SHORTLY. COMMENCE THE WORLD'S
LARGEST RIVER RESTORATION
PROJECT IN C. SALMON RETURN TO
THEIR ANCESTRAL WATERS FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN A HUNDRED YEARS.
WE'VE DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR
BATTLE CREEK IN THE SACRAMENTO
SYSTEM. WE CAUGHT FISH- AND WHEN
A RUN MOVES THEM UPSTREAM OF THE
EAGLE CANYON DAM IN BATTLE
CREEK. TO SPAWN NATURALLY. AND
THAT SECTION ABOUT A CREEK
HASN'T SEEN SALMON IT AND OVER
ONE HUNDRED TEN YEARS. AND
WHAT'S EVEN MORE FASCINATING
HERE IS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS WE
ACTUALLY TOOK SOME WATER RUN AND
TRY TO REINTRODUCE THEM TO
BATTLE CREEK AND THEY'RE
RETURNING. GET ABOUT SIXTY FISH
RETURN TO BATTLE CREEK THAT WE
ALSO MOVED UPSTREAM. AND THAT
TELLS US THAT IF WE CAN GET
THESE FISH BETTER ACCESS TO
WHAT'S THE REMAINING COLD CLEAR
WATER IN THE HEADWATERS. WE
MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE AT SAVING
WINTER RUN CHINOOK SALMON. SO
THAT'S KIND OF A RUN THROUGH
SALMON LET ME TALK ABOUT OUR
HATCHERIES ACCOUNT ON YOU TO
GIVE ME THE HOOK IF I'M GOING
OVER TIME. THANKS TO YOUR
LEADERSHIP. THE LEGISLATURE. AND
GOVERNOR NEW SOME WITHIN THAT
FIFTY FOUR BILLION DOLLAR
CLIMATE STRATEGY WHICH SETS THE
MARKER FOR THE WORLD I THINK.
YOU'LL FIND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF MONEY COMMITTED TO WATER
ISSUES. ABOUT FIVE POINT TWO
BILLION. IF YOU LOOK AT IT
ACROSS SEVERAL YEARS AND WITHIN
THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT
APPROPRIATIONS FOR OUR
DEPARTMENT. YOUR LEADERSHIP
SENATOR MCGUIRE. WE NOW HAVE
AVAILABLE SEVENTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS. WE'RE GOING OUT FOR-
SOLICITATION FOR AN EXPERT. TO
DO IT TOP TO BOTTOM RESILIENCY
EVALUATION OF OUR ENTIRE
HATCHERY SYSTEM ON THE
ANADROMOUS FRONT. AND DESIGN-
MODERNIZATION ASPECTS FOR THOSE
ASSETS THEY'RE NOT WELL
POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE. AND
THIS SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
FOR THE PURPOSES OF GETTING
READY FOR THE FUTURE. WE'RE
GONNA LOOK AT ALL OF THE
HATCHERIES WE OWN. AND WE'RE
GOING TO OFFER TO MAKE THIS
AVAILABLE TO ANY OTHER OF THE
OWNERS OF THE HATCHERIES WHICH
WE OPERATE. EVALUATIONS GOING TO
BE IN TWO PHASES. WE'RE GONNA
LOOK AT CLIMATE IMPACTS. SO WHAT
ARE THE FIRE RISK TO THESE
ASSETS WILL THEY HAVE RELIABLE
COLD WATER IN THE FUTURE. ARE
THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE
THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF FISH
IN THE FUTURE AND THEN
RECOMMENDATIONS OUT OF PHASE
ONE. WHICH WILL FUNNEL INTO
PHASE TWO WHICH WILL BE DESIGNS
AND CAPITAL OUTLAY PROPOSALS TO
DEAL WITH THE UPGRADES.
MEANWHILE THOUGH WE'RE NOT
RESTING ON OR WAITING FOR JUST
THAT ASSESSMENT. AS YOU KNOW. WE
TAKE IN THE PRIOR YEAR DROUGHT
FUNDING AND WE'VE- DONALD INTO
MAKING A DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW ON
THE GROUND. AS EXAMPLES- WE
PRODUCE AN ADDITIONAL TWO POINT
TWO FIVE MILLION FALL RUN
CHINOOK AT OUR FEATHER RIVER AND
THIS HAD TREES IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
THOSE LEVELS IN TWENTY TWENTY
TWO WE INCREASE THE FALL RUN
PRODUCTION AT AMERICAN RIVER
FROM FOUR MILLION TO FOUR AND A
HALF MILLION. GOING TO HIT THE
SAME LEVELS. WE'VE REFURBISHED
TWO OF OUR AGING COATED WIRE
TACKING TRAILERS. WE WENT OUT
AND PURCHASED TWO NEW FISH
CALLING TANK TRAILERS WE HAVE
ONE MORE ON ORDER WHICH WILL
BRING IT TO A TOTAL OF TEN. A
NEW IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT
GIVES US MORE FLEXIBILITY ON HOW
TO MOVES FISH OUT OF THE
HATCHERY. DOWN THE SAN FRANCISCO
ESTUARY. AS EXAMPLES THERE IN
JUNE OF THIS YEAR WE FINISHED IT
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TRANSPORT OF
JUVENILE SALMON THE SAN PABLO
BAY THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY. AND
SEASIDE NET PENS THAT INVOLVES
DOZENS AND DOZENS OF TRUCK
CALLING TRIPS. SORTING RAISING
MARKING AND IN A COUPLE OF CASES
WITH OUR PARTNERS IN THE
NONPROFIT WORLD GOLDEN GATE
SALMON ASSOCIATION PRIMARILY. WE
WERE ABLE TO DO REALLY ME OUT
REGION EDUCATION ENDEAVORS WHERE
WE HOOKED UP WITH COMMUNITIES
LIKE RICHMOND. AND DISADVANTAGED
YOUTHS- WHO DON'T OFTEN HAVE AN
EXPERIENCE IN THE OCEAN WHICH IS
IN THEIR BACKYARD FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE BARRIERS.
SO ALL TOTAL WE MOVED ABOUT
NINETEEN POINT SEVEN MILLION
FALL RUN FISH. AT ALMOST A
MILLION SPRING RUN REST LAST
YEAR'S ONE OF OUR DROUGHT
MITIGATION STRATEGIES. WHAT
WE'RE DOING EVEN MORE. WE'VE
PURCHASED NEW FISH FEEDERS FISH
PALM SUFFICIENT ENCOUNTERS SO
THE LIST OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE
TO DO BECAUSE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP
IN THE APPROPRIATIONS WORLD IS
PRETTY LONG. AND IT'S PRODUCING
DRAMATIC POSITIVE RESULTS. AND
IT DOESN'T STOP THERE IN THE
CONTEXT OF DROUGHT EITHER.
OVERALL THE BUDGET YOU JUST LET-
LEADERSHIP IN BOTH CHAMBERS THE
GOVERNOR HAS MEANT WE HAVE NOW
RECENTLY RECEIVED SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR ENTIRE
DEPARTMENT. FOR THE NEXT
CALENDAR YEAR TO ADDRESS THE
EMERGENCY DROUGHT DYNAMICS IN
FRONT OF US ABOUT TWO MINUTES
HER. FRIEND TO TAKE JUST ONE
EXAMPLE WE HAVE THREE POINT
THREE MILLION THAT WE'RE GONNA
PUT ASIDE SPECIFICALLY. TO WORK
WITH TRIBES ON AROUND THE STATE
INCOME MANAGEMENT AND FISH
PASSAGE EFFORTS WHICH IS HOW WE
WERE ABLE TO ADVANCE SOME OF THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WOMEN WENT
TO SO FAST AROUND WHEN AROUND.
NO WAITING TIME IS RUNNING SHORT
FOR ME THERE ARE GOOD MOMENTS
AND THERE ARE BAD NO MOMENT
SEMIS SUMMARY AROUND SALMON.
COMMERCIAL FISHING IN THE OCEAN
WAS UP. OCEAN RECREATIONAL
FISHING WAS IS EXPECTED. BUT
WE'VE ALSO BEEN DOING A LOT OF
DROUGHT RESCUES ARE FALL RUNS
THAT THEIR SITUATION IS SOMEWHAT
UNKNOWN. AND DECLINING. WE THINK
THIS UP AND DOWN DYNAMIC IS A
DIRECT RESULT OF THE CLIMATE
CHANGE IMPACTS WERE STAYING. AND
THE CONTINUED DROUGHT CONDITIONS
WE'RE EXPERIENCING. YOU'RE GOING
TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT IN A MOMENT
ABOUT CRAP. BUT I JUST PROJECT
THE FUTURE THERE. AND WE ARE AT
THAT MOMENT AS YOU KNOW IN THE
CALENDAR WHERE IT'S PRETTY.
FRANTIC FRENETIC FOR USE
SENATOR. FOR US AT THE
DEPARTMENT FOR THE HARD WORKING
MEN AND WOMEN WHO MAKE A LIVING
ON THE OCEAN FISHING CRAB. M.
FOR OUR CONSERVATION COMMUNITY
THAT'S WORKING ON WHALE
ENTANGLEMENT ISSUES. WE JUGGLE
DEMONIC ACID WELLS RETURNING
QUALITY TESTING FOR BOTH THE
RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL
FISHERIES. WE HAD THE PLANE IN
THE AIR YESTERDAY AND NOT
SURPRISINGLY I THINK DOCTOR SHE
MIDDLE SAY MORE. WE SEE LARGE
AGGREGATIONS OF HUMPBACKS FROM
HALF MOON FOR BRAG. AND EVEN
SOME BLUE WHALES UP NEAR CAPE
MENDOCINO. BUT A BRIGHT SPOT
THIS YEAR'S WHICH YOU MENTIONED.
SO FAR ALL THE DEMO LIKE ACID
TESTS HAVE COME IN BELOW
THRESHOLDS. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE
PRETTY CONFIDENT WE WON'T HAVE
THAT BERRIER- TO THE BEGINNING
OF THE SEASON. LET ME END WITH A
TOTALLY RANDOM BUT I THINK
PRETTY CREATIVE- ASPECT IF YOU
FISH. IF YOUR RECREATIONAL
ANGLER THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE
ONE OF OUR MOST TRADITIONAL
CONSTITUENTS CENTER FOR
COMMERCIAL. BUT LET'S SAY YOU'RE
A RECREATIONAL ANGLER AND YOU'RE
YOU PROCRASTINATE. THEN YOU BY
YOUR ANGLING LICENSE FOR TWENTY
TWENTY TWO IN OCTOBER OF TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. IT'S ONLY GOOD FOR
TWO MORE MONTHS. ANY KIND OF
SUFFER YOUR PROCRASTINATION ON
THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT. SO WE
ARE STARTING OUR SALES FOR OUR
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE FISHING
LICENSES- ALL LICENSES PURCHASED
ON OR AFTER JANUARY ONE OF
TWENTY TWENTY THREE. TO BE
EFFECTIVE FROM THE DATE OF
PURCHASE FOR A CONTINUOUS THREE
HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE DAYS. SO NO
MATTER WHEN YOU BUY IT DURING
THE YEAR YOU GET A YEAR'S WORTH
OF VALUE FOR THAT RECREATIONAL
FISHING LICENSE. AND WE'RE ON
TRACK TO IMPLEMENT A MOBILE
APPLICATION FOR ELECTRONIC
DISPLAY OF LICENCES. BY TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR THANKS TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WORD GOVERNOR IS SOME
FOR. PASSING A BILL WHICH PUT US
OVER THE HUMP ON THAT. LET ME
STOP THERE IN THE REPORT TURN IT
BACK TO YOU CENTER FOR ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE FOR ME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH HAVE STRICTER

RIGHT INTO IT- WE WERE IN A
DEVASTATING DROUGHT THE WORST
THAT WE SEEN IN TWELVE CENTURIES
MISTER DIRECTOR- HE YOU HAVE
BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES YOUR
TEAM HAS BEEN ON THE FRONT
LINES. SAVING THE SPECI. TALKED
TO US WHAT ANOTHER BAD WATER
YEAR WILL MEAN FOR SALMON. AND
IN PARTICULAR THE FALL RUN THE
FALL RUN IS HIT SO INCREDIBLY
HARD WE- WITH WHAT WE THOUGHT
THE WINNER RUN RIGHT WE LUCKED
OUT ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO WITH
SOME. LATE SPRING RAINS AND SOME
GOOD. WEATHER CONDITIONS BUT-
GIVE US YOUR PREDICTION YOUR
CRYSTAL BALL IT IT CAN'T BE
GOOD. WE CONTINUE. TO SEE THIS
DROUGHT PROCESS. THE IT WON'T BE
GOOD. IF THE DROUGHT- WHICH IS
WHY WE- EVERYONE TO REALIZE. WE
ARE STILL IN A DRY PERIOD WE
JUST ENDED A THIRD CONSECUTIVE
DRY WINTER YEAH. THAT WAS
AWESOME RECORDBREAKER. THE
TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY TWENTY
TWO IS NOW THE DRIEST THREE YEAR
PERIOD ON RECORD. SO IT'S
SMASHED. THE OLD RECORD WHICH
WAS JUST SAT IN TWENTY THIRTEEN
TO TWENTY FIFTEEN WHICH- I WAS
IN THIS POSITION DURING THAT
PERIOD AS WELL. AND IF YOU JUST
THINK A YEAR AGO- IT WAS A
WEATHER WHIPLASH PERIOD FROM
OCTOBER TO NOW IN. OCTOBER OF
LAST YEAR WE GOT THE- HIGHEST
SINGLE DAY RAIN. TOTALS IN SOME
IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. AND WE
HAD AN ENTIRELY DRY NOVEMBER.
THEN IN DECEMBER WE GOT RECORD
BUSTING SNOW FALL IN SOME PARTS
OF THE SIERRA. BUT THEN IN KIND
OF A NUMBER EPISODIC. HELTER
SKELTER WAY- JANUARY FEBRUARY
MARCH WITH THE DRIEST THREE
MONTHS IN OVER A HUNDRED YEARS.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY A
LITTLE BIT BETTER. POSITION THAN
WE WERE YOU'RE A GIRL ON THIS
FRONT OUR MAJOR RESERVOIR
STORAGE IS STILL WELL BELOW
AVERAGE. BUT IT'S SLIGHTLY
BETTER THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR
. ARMENIAN TEMPERATURES WERE
REALLY WARM AGAIN BUT SLIGHTLY
COOLER SAME TIME PERIOD LAST
YEAR. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE WE'RE
STARING AT ANOTHER DRY YEAR
AHEAD OF US. ALL THE CLIMATE
MODELS VERY STRONG AGREEMENT
THAT WILL HAVE ELEVATED ODDS OF
A DRIER THAN USUAL WINTER ACROSS
MOST OF CALIFORNIA. AND THE ONLY
HOPE IN THAT SCENARIO AS THE
MODELS ARE JUST THAT THEY'RE
PROJECTIONS AND I DON'T REALLY
TAKE SHAPE UNTIL YOU'RE MUCH
CLOSER- TO YOUR WEATHER EVENTS.
SO WHAT'S THAT MEAN ON THE
SALMON FROM. I MEAN HISTORICALLY
TIME IMMEMORIAL THE SALMON
DEVELOPED RESILIENCY. TO CHANGE
AND HYDROLOGY WITHIN A YEAR AND
CHANGING HYDROLOGY BETWEEN YEARS
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN. A VARIABLE
HYDROLOGY CALIFORNIA. PERIODS OF
DRY AND WET. BUT THE GAP BETWEEN
DRY AND WET ALLOW THE POPULATION
TO CONSISTENTLY REBOUND REBUILD
FIND RESILIENCY. AND THAT
NATURAL ADAPTATION STRATEGY IS
WHAT'S TAKING THE HARDEST HIT IN
MY JUDGMENT AS A NON BIOLOGIST.
THE PERIODS OF DRYNESS OR
EXTENDING WE MAY BE MOVING TO A
FUTURE OF MORE BEARISHNESS ALL
THE TIME. SO THERE'S NO GAPS
WERE RECOVERY A REBOUNDER
RESILIENCY. AND THAT TO ME IS
WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE HARDEST
CHALLENGE FOR THESE BRILLIANT
REMARKABLE OPEN SPARRING FISH IN
CALIFORNIA SO WHAT DO WE DO
ABOUT IT. ONE OF THE THINGS I
THINK WE HAVE TO DO ABOUT IT
PARTICULARLY IN THE SACRAMENTO
CENTRAL VALLEY SYSTEM. IS WE
HAVE TO GET FISH INTO THEIR
HISTORICAL HABITAT THE VALLEY
FLOORS ARE GONNA STAY HOT GET
HOTTER. THE VALLEY FLOOR RIVER
WATER HE'S GONNA BE WARM OR
WARMING THE COLDEST CLEANEST
WATER WHERE THEY CAN STILL
THRIVE IS UP IN THE SYSTEMS WE
HAVE TO DO THAT. BY WHATEVER
MEANS NECESSARY. YEAH NO
ABSOLUTELY AND SO THAT THAT
THAT'S TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE
BIT BECAUSE I THINK THAT THERE'S
SOME ONGOING CONCERN WITH THAT
NUMBER ONE- LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
SACRAMENTO THERE'S SOME REALLY
KEY PROJECTS THAT- WE COULD BE
FOCUSING IN ON THAT WOULD
ASSIST. RIGHT IN THAT SURVIVAL
IN THE OTHER PHENOMENON THAT
WE'RE STARTING TO SEE AN RIVERS
AND WE SAW THIS IN UPPER KLAMATH
THIS YEAR- WITH WE HAD
DEVASTATING FIRE. THEN THREE TO
FIVE INCHES OF RAIN WITHIN THE
WATERSHED WHERE THE FIRE WAS
BURNING HOT. WHICH MEANT WE HAD
TREMENDOUS MUD SLIDES INTO THE
TRIPS IN THE UPPER KLAMATH
MAINSTEM WHICH THEN ESSENTIALLY
SUFFOCATED- SALMON. ON THAT
UPPER KLAMATH. TALK ABOUT OR WE
GONNA ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT-
ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES
FOR THE DEPARTMENT. TO ASSIST IN
THOSE TYPE OF OFFENSES THEY'RE
GONNA HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY
THEY ARE HAPPENING MORE
FREQUENTLY. YEAH YOU MAKE A
GREAT A GREAT POINT THAT THESE
CLIMATE DRIVEN CHANGES ARE
COMBINING. TO PRODUCE GREATER
IMPACT TO OUR NATURAL SYSTEMS SO
IT'S NOT JUST THE DRYNESS THE
DROUGHT DYNAMIC IT'S ALSO
WILDFIRE THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN WILDFIRE AND DROUGHT.
AND THEN AS YOU MENTIONED THE
KLAMATH WE SAW DEBRIS MUD FLOW.
AND THAT TO BREATHE DOWN OUR
TRIBUTARIES TO THE KLAMATH AND
MAINSTEM. MAKE CONDITIONS LESS
HOSPITABLE FOR THE SALMON. SO
WHAT WE DO ON OUR DEPARTMENT- IS
WE'RE PRETTY WELL EMBEDDED
SADLY. IN BOTH FIRE RESPONSE
OFTEN WE'RE USING OUR WILDLIFE
OFFICERS TO FORCE MULTIPLIER
FOR- YES AS YOU KNOW. BUT WE PUT
OUR SCIENTISTS THE POST FAR WORK
THAT HAPPENS WITH THE FEDERAL
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY AND-
YES. AND WE'RE DOING MUCH MORE
NOW IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASSESSING
WHERE THOSE KINDS OF RISKS LIKE
SEDIMENT FLOW EXIST. THE FIRST
TIMES WE STARTED TO DO THAT WITH
THE FIRES IN THE QUALITY SYSTEM
WHICH ARE NOW ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN
YEARS AGO OF MY MEMBERS RIGHT.
WE HAD TO DO ON WITH MANY OF
YOUR ASSISTANCE CONSTITUENTS IN
THE RUSSIAN RIVER SYSTEM. AND IN
LAKE COUNTY ABOUT FOUR YEARS
AGO. AND NOW WE'RE ABLE TO MORE
QUICKLY ENGAGE WITH THE POST FAR
WORK KIND OF RAISING THE VOICE
OF SAM AND- WE'RE ASKING- OUR
FEDERAL PARTNERS AND LAND
MANAGEMENT THE FOREST SERVICE TO
BE THINKING ABOUT THEIR
RESOURCES THAT WAY AS WELL. AND
JUST IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO
I'VE HAD REQUEST BY BOTH KARUK
AND IS COMMITTED TO OUR
DEPARTMENT SITTING DOWN WITH
THEM. AND THE FAR SERVICE
SPECIFICALLY IN THE KLAMATH TO
SEE IF WE CAN MAP OUT WHERE WE
THINK THE GREATEST DEBRIS FLOW
RISK FROM RECENT FIRES WOULD BE
RELATIVE TO SALMON WHAT WHAT
ACTIONS WE MIGHT TAKE YEAH AND I
THINK THAT'S THE PIECE WHERE-
LOOK. I WON'T SPEAK FOR THE
DEPARTMENT AND I WILL SPEAK FOR
THE MINISTRATIONS I CAN'T BUT I
THINK THAT THERE'S ONGOING
FRUSTRATION BETWEEN. OF THE SAID
THAT THERE'S ONGOING FRUSTRATION
BETWEEN THE STATES AND- THE FOR
SERVICE OR THE BLM. WINE IN
REGARDS TO HOW WE FIGHT FIRES
TO. THE FOR SERVICE ARE BEYOND
WILL SEND IN WHAT THEY CALL THE
BURN UNIT TO BE ABLE TO FORTIFY.
NATURAL LANDS AFTER A FIRE BUT
IT'S DONE LITERALLY WEEKS AFTER.
BY AND WE NEED TO START CHANGING
OUR PRACTICES AND PROTOCOLS I
KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING
RIGHT NOW. BUT WHEN WE TAKE A
LOOK AT THE UPPER KLAMATH THIS
YEAR LITERALLY TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF ADULT SALMON. THAT HAD YET TO
SPAWN WERE SUFFOCATED AND
KILLED- BECAUSE OF THIS
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT THE FAULT
OF CDFW. I BRING THIS UP IS I
THINK THIS IS YET ANOTHER ISSUE
THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO START
PREPARING FOR. AND ANOTHER
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE FOR THIS
ICONIC SPECIES. THAT WE SEE IT'S
ALWAYS TRADITIONALLY BEEN.
UNFORTUNATELY HOT WEATHER LOWER
FLOWS NOW OVERSEEN IS. HOT
TEMPERATURES LOWER FLOWS PLUS
THIS UNGODLY DEBRIS FLOW THAT
COMES IN. AND IF IT COMES AT THE
WRONG TIME LIKE IT DID THIS
YEAR. KILLEEN TENS OF- FISH THAT
WOULD OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO SPAWN
WHICH WILL IMPACT OBVIOUSLY THE
RETURNS IN THE YEARS TO COME-
QUICKLY ON THE SACRAMENTO IN
FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THAT THE
CLAIM IF IT'S WELL KNOWN AS HIS
QUESTION AT THE SACRAMENTO. SO
THE SACRAMENTO RIVER SETTLEMENT
CONTRACTORS RECEIVED A REDUCE
ALLOCATION OF WATER THIS YEAR-
AND WE SAW THAT- NEAR 100%
MORTALITY- BELOW THE CHASSIS THE
SHASTA DAM. WHAT IS YOUR
ESTIMATE IF WE SEE YET AGAIN
ANOTHER DRY YEAR WHICH IS
ANTICIPATED- WELL THE
CONTRACTORS RECEIVE. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE
FUTURE I CAN'T COMMENT ON WHAT
JUST HAPPENED. WHICH IS YOU KNOW
FROM FROM THEIR VIEWS. AND THEIR
SHOES- YOU KNOW WATER USERS IN
THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY. AND THOSE
RULES SMALLER COMMUNITIES- TOOK
A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN WHAT
THEY BELIEVE THEY'RE ENTITLED TO
IN THE WAY THE WATER RIGHTS
SYSTEM WORKS. THE PEOPLE THINK
THE SYSTEM WORKS WELL KNOWN DO
PEOPLE HAVE ALL KINDS OF
DIFFERENT IDEAS ON HOW THE WATER
RIGHT SYSTEM COULD WORK BETTER
ABSOLUTELY. ARE ALL THOSE VIEWS
AND HARMONY NOPE IT'S PRETTY
HEATED AND PEOPLE HAVE WIDELY
DIVERGENT VIEWS OFTEN
NONETHELESS. IN THE MIDDLE OF
THAT. COMING OFF A PRIOR. WE'RE
ABLE TO SIT DOWN AT THE FEDERAL
AND STATE LEVEL WITH THOSE WATER
USERS AND THEY TOOK A
SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN
DELIVERIES. AND WE ALSO KINDA RE
THOUGHT ABOUT THE APPROACH TO
RELEASES FROM REST THE RESERVOIR
. WE HAD A HIGHER MORE STABLE
FLOW OUT OF THE RESERVOIR AND
DAM THROUGH THE SUMMER. AND WE
PUT AN EMPHASIS ON. HOLDING
WATER IN THE RESERVOIR TO MAKE
SURE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
COULD BE MANAGED FOR THEN.
THINKING ABOUT HOW TO ACHIEVE
THE MOST SUITABLE HABITAT
POSSIBLE FOR WINTER RUN AS LONG
AS POSSIBLE. THEN THINKING ABOUT
OUR WILDLIFE REFUGES AND PACIFIC
FLYWAY. AND THEN KIND OF WORKING
THROUGH POTENTIAL DELIVERIES FOR
IRRIGATION. IT APPEARS TO HAVE
MADE A DIFFERENCE AND THAT ARE
ESTIMATED MORTALITIES ARE READ.
AT OUR WATER TEMPERATURES LOOKED
MUCH BETTER THIS YEAR THAN THEY
DID JUST A YEAR PRIOR. COMBINE
THAT WITH WHAT I THINK IS
NECESSARY. LOOK HONESTLY. THAT
THE ARGUMENT ABOUT WHAT TO DO
BELOW SHASTA DAM AND IN THE
SACRAMENTO RIVER THERE. IS STILL
A FUTURE WHERE THE FISH WILL BE
STUCK RIGHT THERE. IN A VALLEY
FLOOR IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL
WARMING. BUT I THINK THEY GET IT
BUT RIGHT AT THE IF WE TAKE A
LOOK BELOW THE DAM BELOW THE DAM
IS IN AND AGAIN MR DIRECTOR
PUSHED BACK ON ME. I THINK THAT
IS SOME OF THE MOST CRITICAL
STRETCHES OF THAT RIVER RIGHT
WHERE YOU HAVE SOME OF THE
LARGEST OBSTACLES HISTORIC
OBSTACLES PLUS SHALLOW WATER
PLUS- IT GETS INCREDIBLY HOT.
AND I THINK THE PROJECTION WAS
ABOUT WAS A 100% MORTALITY-
GOING INTO THIS SEASON CORRECT
YES. NO SO THE THOSE ELEVATED
NUMBERS FOR WHAT WE ALL
EXPERIENCE LAST YEAR. AND WE
TOOK A DIFFERENT APPROACH
APPROACH COLLECTIVELY ACROSS
AGENCIES AND WATER USERS. AND
THIS YEAR'S APPROACH. WILL NOT
HAVE THOSE DRAMATICALLY HIGH
MORTALITY RATES WHAT MY POINT IS
SENATOR IS. I AGREE WITH YOU
THAT STRUCTURE RIVER IS
ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE WHEN
AROUND. AND THAT STRETCH OF
RIVER FOR WINTER RUN. IS RELATED
TO HOW SHASTA RESERVOIRS MANAGED
BUT IF THAT'S ALL WE DO. WE WALL
WHAT COVERS WINTER RUN WE ALSO
HAVE TO GET WINNER RUN INTO. THE
TOP PARTS OF BATTLE CREEK. AT
LEAST THE MCLEOD RIVER WORKING
WITH THE WOMEN WENT TO AND
POTENTIALLY OTHER STREAMS. AS AN
ADDITIVE DYNAMIC TO HOW WE
MANAGE THAT STRUCTURE RIVER. OUT
OF SHASTA RESERVOIR. OKAY I'M
GONNA QUICKLY JUMPED TO THE
ISSUE OF CRAB- S. IT'S A TOP
TIER FISHERY HERE IN THE CITY
CALIFORNIA. SO THAT THE TO GET
INTO THOSE AERIAL SURVEYS-
INVESTMENT IN REGARDS TO A NEW
PLANE FOR DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL
WILDLIFE. IN ADDITION TO OTHER
ACTIVITIES OBVIOUSLY SPOTTING
WHERE THERE ARE LARGE
COLLECTIONS OF MOSTLY HUMPBACK
WHALE OFF THE COAST- GOOD NEWS
IS THAT THE MARK ACID LEVELS.
ROSS ALMOST EVERY PORT NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. IS SIGNIFICANTLY
DECREASE OR NO SIGNIFICANT I
DETECTION. BUT RIGHT NOW
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF WHALES OFF
OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA JUST WANT
TO GET INTO THAT JUST A BIT WE
WILL HAVE A CRAP CHANNEL BUT-
CAN YOU JUST GIVE US- ARE YOU
SEEN ANY DISBURSEMENT OR THEY
SIMPLY. HANGING OUT THANK THAT
WE SAW LAST YEAR. I GAVE YOU WAS
I GOTTA OF LESLIE FROM STAFF
LATE LAST NIGHT WHICH WAS MORE
OF THE SUMMARY. WE DID HAVE A
PLATE IN THERE YESTERDAY SO
TUESDAY. YEAH THIS IS NOT
SURPRISING BUT THEY OBSERVED
LARGE AGGREGATIONS OF HUMPBACK
FROM HALF MOON BAY TO FORT BRAGG
. AND JUST A FEW BLUE WHALES UP
NEAR CAPE MENDOCINO WE'RE GONNA
BE BACK UP IN THE AIR TOMORROW.
TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SOUTHERN
FISHING AREAS DOWN AND INCLUDING
MONTEREY BAY. AND THE ABILITY TO
HAVE A NEW PLANE AND DO THIS
MORE REGULARLY MORE FREQUENTLY.
IS AGAIN A BIG THANK YOU TO USE
THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
GOVERNOR. AND IT FEEDS DIRECTLY
INTO WHAT YOU KNOW WE'RE TRYING
TO DO. WHICH IS MANAGE THIS
FISHERY MORE IN REAL TIME WITH
FINER SCALE ADJUSTMENTS- TIME
AND LOCATION- MANAGEMENT TOOLS.
THAT HOPEFULLY CAN HELP US AVOID
THE HORRIBLE EVENTS YOU AN
EXPERIENCE WHERE WE DID COAST
WIDE CLOSURES YEAH. AND INSTEAD
WHEN WE ARE FORCED INTO IT
BECAUSE THE DECISION IS THE
RIGHT DECISION BASED ON THE
SCIENCE. THE CLOSURE FOOTPRINT
COULD BE MUCH SMALLER. AT THE
SAME TIME WE'RE TRYING TO SPUR
THE COMMERCIAL FLEET INTO GEAR
INNOVATIONS YOU KNOW. AND
HONESTLY ONE OF THE MOST
VALUABLE THINGS IS WHAT YOU'RE
DOING WHICH IS. ASKING THE
DEPARTMENT AND THE LEADERS IN
THE COMMERCIAL PORTS AND FLEETS.
TO TALK REGULARLY. NOW THERE'S A
DOWNSIDE TO THAT BECAUSE A LOT
OF THE FISHERMEN AND WOMEN HAVE
MY CELL PHONE NUMBER. AND YOU
KNOW THE CALL AND THAT'S GREAT
AND I'LL TAKE THE CALL BUT
WHAT'S REALLY BEEN INCREDIBLY
USEFUL. IS GETTING THE LEADERS
AND OUR DEPARTMENT LEADERS IN
THE SAME ROOM. BUT A REGULAR
FREQUENCY TO WORK OUT HOW THE
OPENING WILL HAPPEN AND THE
CLOSURES WE MAY NEED TO DO SO
THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR IT NOW AND
I GOT TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE
CREDIT IS DUE LOOK THAT WE'RE
MEETING ON A QUARTERLY BASIS
WITH THE DIRECTOR WASTES AT THE
LEADERS OF. BOTH RABBIT SO SHE
ASIANS- REALLY FISHERMEN'S
ASSOCIATIONS HERE IN THE STATE
AS WELL AS THE PROCESSORS AND
MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS A
COORDINATED APPROACH IN THAT
WERE SHOWING REAL TIME.
INFORMATION SO I'M I'M VERY
GRATEFUL FOR THAT I THINK- LOOK
THIS INDUSTRY WHICH- IS A TOP
TIER FISHERY IN THE STATE- RULE
COURTS ARE ABSOLUTELY DEPENDENT
ON A HEALTHY CRAB FISHERY. FOR
THEIR ECONOMIC WELL BEING- THEY
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CATCH A BREAK
IN DEBT WE'RE ALL GONNA KNOCK ON
WOOD RIGHT NOW. I TO ENSURE
SUCCESS THE BRIDGE THE GOOD NEWS
THAT WERE SEEN. IS THE PROACTIVE
TESTING FOR TOMORROW CASSIDY'S
COMING BACK ARE RELATIVELY
CLEAN- FROM. MONTEREY UP THROUGH
THE OREGON BORDER AGAIN. WE
CAN'T EVER PREDICT- IN THE FINAL
BUT- RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN MUCH
BETTER SHAPE THAN THAT IT'S JUST
BEEN. THE ACHILLES HEEL OF THE
SEASONS A YEAR AFTER YEAR AND
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA BE
CATCHING A BREAK ON THAT BUT
WILL CONTINUE TO. STAY CONNECTED
ON ALL ISSUES OF CRAP AS WELL.
THE LAST PIECE OF THE STATE.
MISTER DIRECTOR AND I KNOW THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA
CONTINUE HAVING CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT BUT- I THINK ULTIMATELY
WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE ABLE
TO FIND A SOLUTION. THAT WHEN WE
HAVE CRAB FISHERMEN THAT ARE
GOING OUT COLLECTING THE SAMPLES
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH TO BE ABLE TO SAMPLE FOR
TOMORROW CASSIDY. HOW WE CAN
COMPENSATE THOSE. CRABBERS RIGHT
IN THAT'S PROBABLY LESS THAN TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND A YEAR. ACROSS
ALL PORTS AND I KNOW THAT'S
SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT I
KNOW THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU
CAN COMMIT TO TODAY OBVIOUSLY.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK
THAT. EVERYONE IS COMMITTED TO
TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW WE CAN
FIGURE OUT A PROCESS TO GET THEM
COMPENSATED- FOR THEIR- TIME
THAT THEY'RE PUT NEED TO BE ABLE
TO DO THE WORK FOR THE STATE.
YES SIR WE NEED OUR- FISHING MEN
AND WOMEN WILLING TO DO THAT FOR
THE. PUBLIC GOOD THE PUBLIC
SERVICE. BECAUSE THAT SAMPLE. IS
WHAT INFORMS THE MEASURE
DECISION SO I. YOU YOU LOUD AND
CLEAR. AND I KNOW YOU AND I'LL
END UP WORKING ON THAT TOGETHER
LOOK FORWARD TO IT AND THEN LAST
ONE NOTE OF GOOD. NEWS EVEN IN
THE MIDDLE OF ALL THE CHAOS
SEEMINGLY AROUND HOW EACH CRAB
SEASON PLAYS OUT. AND LAST YEAR
YOU KNOW I GOT A GOT A LATER
START. AND WE DID HAVE SOME
ENTANGLEMENTS BUT WAY FEWER THAN
MANY YEARS AGO. AND SHORTENED
SEASON IN THE SPRING. I THINK
THAT VALUE IN THE COMMERCIAL
FISHERY STILL WAS NORTH OF FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS. DR SHE MIDDLE
HAVE. A BETTER NUMBER. AND WHERE
IT ENDED UP ON A TOTAL VALUE WAS
ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LAST
DECADE OR SO. EVEN IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE STORM. THERE'S ABILITY
FOR CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIANS. TO
DO IT TOGETHER AND GET A GOOD
OUTCOME. A 100% AND I JUST WANNA
TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY THANK YOU
SO MUCH TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
AND- THIS DIRECTOR HAS SERVED
LONGER THAN ANY DIRECTOR IN
STATE HISTORY. WE WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO CHUCK BONHAM. HE'S

COMMITTEE SEVERAL TIMES THAT
I'VE SPOKEN TO THE ECONOMIC
VALUE OF THE SALMON FISHERY BOTH
THE RECREATION COMMERCIAL- SPOKE
ABOUT THE JOBS SPOKEN ABOUT THE
COASTAL COMMUNITIES. I JUST WANT
TO HIT ON ANOTHER FACTOR TODAY
WHEN WE CONSIDER. WHETHER OR NOT
WE HAVE TO STAY WANT TO TAKE THE
STEPS IT TAKES TO KEEP SEVEN IN
OUR FUTURE AND THAT IS THE WELL
BEING THAT SALMON BRING TO SO
MANY PEOPLE- I'M SHOWING YOU A
PICTURE OF ONE OF THE INNER CITY
KIDS THAT WE RECENTLY GOT OUT ON
A- SALMON FISHING TRIP. AND
THERE'S JUST NOTHING LIKE TAKEN
A SALMON HOME. KIDS EXPERIENCE
CONNECTION TO THE OCEAN AND IT'S
KIND OF PHENOMENAL BECAUSE IN
MANY INSTANCES THESE KIDS DON'T
LOOK VERY LIVE VERY FAR FROM THE
OCEAN AND YET- DIP NEVER BEEN
OUT ON IT TILL THEY PICK UP. AND. GO SALMON FISHING- IT ALLOWS
US TO RE INTO THE CITY AND GET
WAS JUST KIDS TO OTHER WOULD BE
OUT ON THE OCEAN- THEY PUT DOWN
THEIR PHONES THEY STOP PLAYING
THE VIDEO GAMES FOR A MINUTE
IMAGINE- THEY TALK AND CELEBRATE
WITH EACH OTHER. BEYENS AT THE
END OF THE DAY OF THE LUCKY ONES
TAKE HOME A PRIZE FOR TREASURE A
FOOD SOURCE THE SAME WHEN YOU
SEE THIS GUY HOLDEN IS ENOUGH TO
EASILY FIT FORTY PEOPLE MAYBE
MORE SO. THAT'S FORTY OF HIS
FAMILY EXTENDED FAMILY NEIGHBORS
FRIENDS- THIS YOUNG MAN BECOMES
A HERO HE GAINS CONFIDENCE YOU
GAIN SKILL HE GAINS. THE
QUICKNESS WITH NATURE- SO CLOSE
AND YET SO FAR FOR MANY. THIS
FISH IS ALMOST BIGGER THAN A
GIRL THERE WAS A VIDEO SHOT OF
HER LANDING THIS FISH HER
PARENTS GOT A HOLD OF THE-
SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD THANK
. THIS GUY IS BEING HELD UP
BECAUSE ACTUALLY HE'S DISABLED
BUT HE ENDED UP CATCHING TO FISH
OF THE DAY WE HAD HIM OUT THERE
AND- HE COULDN'T BE MORE
THRILLED. SO I JUST WANT TO HIT
ON THIS IDEA OF WELL BEING. THAT
SEVEN IN CALIFORNIA BRING TO US
EVEN THOSE OF US WHO DON'T
SUFFICIENT JUST TO KNOW THEY'RE
IN THE RIVERS AND STREAMS. IN
OUR STATE MEANS A LOT TO PEOPLE.
IN ADDITION TO GETTING INNER
CITY KIDS- WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF GETTING VETERANS
OUT ON THE WATER. AND SAME THING
OF THE BOOST TO WELL BEING IT'S
HARD TO DESCRIBE. I INVITE YOU
TO READ THE EXPRESSIONS ON THESE
FOLKS FACE JUST REGARD ME IN THE
BACKGROUND THERE- BUT YOU GET
THE IDEA AT THE END OF THE DAY.
LEAVING YOUR WORLDLY WORRIES
BEHIND CONNECTING WITH NATURE
CONNECTING WITH CALIFORNIA'S
SALMON. AN INCREDIBLE NATURAL
RESOURCE INCREDIBLE SUSTAINABLE
FOOD WHEN TREATED CORRECTLY. IS
A GREAT BENEFIT AND VALUE AND I
THINK WE WANT TO BEND OVER
BACKWARDS. HERE IN CALIFORNIA TO
KEEP DO SUFFICIENT A PICTURE. SO
HOW WHAT IS IT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE CAN DO ABOUT THIS
AND I JUST WANT TO. REACH THE
POINT THAT THE VOLUNTARY
AGREEMENT PROCESS. CURRENTLY
BEING WORKED BETWEEN THE STATE
AND THE BIG WATER DISTRICTS- IS
NOT GOING IN A GOOD. DIRECTION
FOR SALMON- IT WOULD LARGELY
PERPETUATE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
THAT HAS BUILT UP OVER DECADES.
LIKE WHAT YOU SEE HERE THIS IS
THE DRIED OUT A BIT OF THE KERN
RIVER. RIGHT DOWN THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY WHERE. BASICALLY
ALL OF THE MAJOR RIVERS THAT
FLOWED OUT OF THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY WERE DAM. AND BASICALLY
KILLED. I WANT TO DRAW YOUR
ATTENTION TO THIS GRAPHIC I'M
SORRY TO HIT YOU WITH A GRAPHIC
BECAUSE IT MEANS A LITTLE BIT OF
HOMEWORK. WHAT'S THIS ONE'S
PRETTY POWERFUL THIS DESCRIBES
THE TRAJECTORY WE'RE GOING WITH
THIS VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT
BUSINESS YEAR IN CALIFORNIA. IF
I CAN DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO
THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STREET YOU
SEE- BASICALLY THE WATER
IDENTIFIED BY THE STATE WATER
BOARD IS BEING NEEDED TO KILL
THE ENVIRONMENT. BACK IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN THE GREEN BAR
REPRESENTS ABOUT ONE POINT SIX
MILLION ACRE FEET OF ADDITIONAL.
WATER THAT WOULD FLOW THROUGH
THE DELTA OUT INTO THE BAY AND
BASICALLY- EIGHT THE ENVIRONMENT
EIGHT THE SALMON RUNS IN
CRITICALLY DRY YEARS YOU'D GET
THAT WARM SLIDE YOU GET LESS
WATER BUT YOU STILL GET A BIG
BOOST OVER STATUS QUO. THAT BLUE
LINE IS KIND OF IMPORTANT THAT
ACTUALLY REPRESENTS ADDITIONAL
STORAGE IN RESERVOIRS AND ONE
WAY TO THINK ABOUT THAT STORAGE
IS IN RESERVOIRS THIS IS KIND OF
LIKE A REFRIGERATOR- IT CREATES
COLD WATER DOWN AT THE BOTTOM
THE MORE STORAGE YOU GOT TO WORK
HOLD WATER YOU GET. FOR YOU CAN
SAY THAT THE RESOURCES AGENCY AS
FAR BACK AS TWENTY SEVENTEEN WAS
NOT IN SAYING. THEY WERE ASKING
WEST WATER IN THERE BE A
DISCUSSIONS. BY TWENTY TWENTY.
AFTER RESISTANCE FROM THE BIG
WATER DISTRICTS. THE STATE
DIALED BACK DRAMATICALLY THE
WATER WAS SEEKING IN THE BA
ISN'T. LAST MARCH M. O. U. WAS
ANNOUNCED AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
BY MARCH OF TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR ALMOST NO
ADDITIONAL WATER IN AVERAGE
YEARS READING CRITICALLY DRY
YEARS WE'D HAVE LESS WATER. THAN
WHAT WE HAVE TODAY- ADD CALL IT
. AGREEMENT I JUST WANT TO ONE
OTHER POINT HERE IF IT WAS
REALLY A VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT
YOU'D PROBABLY SEE SOME
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FISHING
COMMUNITY IN THIS PICTURE OF
THIS WAS TAKEN IN MARCH. AMONG
THE NEGOTIATORS BETWEEN THE
WATER DISTRICTS IN THE STATE AND
FEDERAL AGENCIES THE STRUCK THE
DEAL THERE ARE NO FISHING
REPRESENTATIVES IN THIS PHOTO.
THERE ARE NO TRIBAL
REPRESENTATIVES IN THIS PHOTO.
THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIVES OF
DOWNSTREAM COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
HARMED BY THINGS LIKE POLLUTION
INCLUDING TOXIC ALGAE BLOOMS
THEY'RE NOT PRESENT IN THIS
PHOTO. SO I WOULD SAY THESE ARE
ACTUALLY INVOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS
FOR THEIR GOING ON BECAUSE OR
EXCLUSIONARY. AND JUST TO
UNDERSCORE THE POINT THAT THINGS
ARE NOT GETTING BETTER. TWO
WEEKS AGO THE FISH AND WILDLIFE
SERVICE TOLD US THAT LONGFIN
SMELT. BAY DELTA LONGFIN SMELT
NOW WARRANT. ENDANGERED SPECIES
PROTECTION AS ENDANGERED AND
THAT MEANS THE CURRENT PROGRAMS
ARE NOT DOING WHAT'S NEEDED TO
KEEP THIS ANIMAL FROM GOING
EXTINCT. THIS IS JUST THE LATEST
EXAMPLE. SO I JUST WANT TO
CIRCLE BACK AND REMIND ABOUT THE
VALUE WELL SOME OF THE
INTANGIBLE VALUES OF SEVEN IN
TERMS OF WORLD GRAIN BEING THAT
IT BRINGS TO. CALIFORNIANS MANY
CALIFORNIANS. AND I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME I
ALSO WANT TO THROW OUT. AFTER
THE LAST DROUGHT THIS COMMITTEE
AT OUR REQUEST. REQUESTED OF
CDFW TO PROVIDE ESTIMATE OF
TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT MORTALITY.
FOR FALL RUN. YEAH THE
DEPARTMENT DID SO. WE
DESPERATELY NEED TO GET THAT
TYPE OF DATA AGAIN SENATOR IF
THE COMMITTEE MIGHT REQUEST OF
CDFW A VERY NARROW REQUEST TO
TELL US TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT
MORTALITY OF FALL RUN. IN THE
UPPER SACRAMENTO RIVER BETWEEN
RED BLUFF. AND KESWICK DAM JUST
IN THE MAIN SYSTEM. ALSO ON THE
AMERICAN RIVER FROM NIMBUS DAM
DOWN TO THE CONFLUENCE IN
SACRAMENTO. HOW MANY FALL ROTOR
READ EGGS ARE WE LOSING TO HOT
WATER THAT'S BASICALLY THE
REQUEST SO I THANK YOU FOR
TAKING THE TIME I'M GOING TO
STOP SHARING MY SCREEN. THANK
YOU SO MUCH MISTER MCMANUS
SPECIFIC MANIS PRESIDENT GOLDEN
STATE SALMON ASSOCIATION WE ARE
KEEPING TRACK OF FOLLOW UPS WE
HAD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR IN
REGARDS TO THE UPPER SACKED
ALONG WITH THE AMERICAN RIVER
ALONG WITH THE GUARD RAILS
MISTER MCMANUS PUT ON. TO THOSE
TWO REQUESTS ABSOLUTELY THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK WITH
YOU ON AND OF COURSE WORK WITH
THE COPPER DEPARTMENT AT FISH
AND WILDLIFE IS MAGNUS IS GONNA
STICK AROUND WITH US IS WE'RE
GONNA BE DOING QUESTIONS HERE IN
JUST A BIT AND AGAIN. THIS MAN
IS PRESENT A GOLDEN STATE SALMON
ASSOCIATION ALL RIGHT WE'RE
GONNA BE MOVING ON TO OUR NEXT
PANELIST HER NAME IS KATE POOL
SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST SENIOR
ATTORNEY AT FROM THE NATURAL
RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL THIS
POOL IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL TO
HAVE YOU BACK IN FRONT OF THE
COMMITTEE. THANK YOU SO MUCH WE
HOPE TO HAVE YOU HERE IN PERSON
AND ENJOINED OF COURSE THAT AT
WORLD FAMOUS FISH DINNER THE
NIGHT BEFORE THE HEARING MISS
FOR THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU
SO MUCH OF FIVE MINUTES. NOT THE
THIRTY SECOND PRODUCT. WOOD
MISTER. THANK YOU SO CHAIRMAN.
AND CLOUD BASED STONE FOR
INVITING ME TO THE SOME. HEARING
I'D LIKE TO START. WITH A BRIEF
SUPPLEMENT TO DIRECTOR BOMBS
REPORT ON THE STATUS OF
ENDANGERED WINTER RUN CHINOOK IN
PARTICULAR- WHILE THE AGENCY'S
EFFORT TO WORK WITH THE WIN WIN
WIN TO AND- MOVE WHEN A RUN.
ABOVE SHASTA AND INTO THE
MACABRE THIS YEAR DESERVES HIGH
PRAISE. THE CHANGES HE REFERRED
TO IN WATER MANAGEMENT IN THE
SACRAMENTO RIVER BELOW SHASTA.
ARE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP
THE WILD NATURALLY SPAWNING
POPULATION ALIVE IN THE RIVER-
WE'RE STILL ASSESSING THE
IMPACT. THIS YEAR BUT THE NUMBER
OF WILD JUVENILE WINTER RUN.
CASTING. RED BLUFF DIVERSION DAM
. THIS FALL IS X. LOW. AND IS
CURRENTLY ON TRACK TO BE THE
LOWEST JUVENILE PASSAGE WE'VE
SEEN IN THE LAST. TWENTY YEARS
AT LEAST. SO- THESE ENDANGERED
FISH ARE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE
WITH THOSE NUMBERS LET ALONE
RECOVER. SO YOU KNOW I'D LIKE TO
FOCUS TODAY ON AND WHY WE
CONTINUE TO CRISIS SUCH
SUBSTANTIAL THREAT TO SALMON AND
WHAT THE STATE CAN AND SHOULD DO
ABOUT IT. DROUGHT IS OF COURSE A
PROBLEM- BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL
REASON WE'RE LOSING OUR NATIVE
SALMON RUNS IN CALIFORNIA IS
BECAUSE WE DIVERT TOO MUCH WATER
OUT OF OUR RIVERS EVEN DURING
DROUGHT. AND THE REASON WE
DIVERGE MUCH WATER OUT OF OUR
RIVERS IS BECAUSE CALIFORNIA HAS
NOT YET REFORMED ITS ARCHAIC
SYSTEM OF WATER RIGHTS IN
CONTRACTS. THAT LOCK INTO PLACE
BUT CLAIMS STAKED ON OUR RIVERS
MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO DURING A
VIOLENT AND VERY RACIST ED IN
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY. THAT
PREDATED MODERN ENVIRONMENTAL
LAWS AND THE REALITIES OF
CLIMATE CHANGE. AND JUST LIKE
THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN
CALIFORNIA'S NOW FACED WITH
RECONCILING- OVER ALLOCATED.
WATER RIGHTS IN CONTRACTS WITH
THE REALITIES OF A SHRINKING
WATER SUPPLY DUE TO CLIMATE
CHANGE. AND AT THE SAME TIME
REVERSING DEVASTATING EFFECTS TO
THE ENVIRONMENT AND INDIGENOUS
OTHER COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. SO
LET ME GIVE YOU A COUPLE
EXAMPLES OF HOW OR OR- CAN'T
WATER RIGHTS SYSTEM IS KILLING
OFF WILD SALMON. INDENTURED
WINTER RUN CHINOOK SALMON AND
THE COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT FALL
RUN CHINOOK BOTH SPONDYLUS
SHASTA DAM ON THE SACRAMENTO
RIVER BECAUSE THE DAM BLACKS ARE
PASSAGE TO THEIR HISTORIC
SPAWNING GROUNDS. SO TO ENABLE
SUCCESSFUL SPAWNING THE BUREAU
OF RECLAMATION HAS TO RETAIN
ENOUGH COLD WATER BEHIND THE
DAM. TO RELEASE IT DURING THE
SUMMER AND FALL WHEN THESE FISH
ARE SPAWNING AND THEIR EGGS ARE
MATURING. IF ENOUGH COLD WATER
ISN'T PROVIDED DURING THIS
PERIOD. THE SALMON EGGS
LITERALLY COOK TODAY. CAUSING
VERY HIGH LEVELS OF TEMPERATURE
DEPENDENT MORTALITY WHICH IS
WHAT WE'VE SEEN BELOW SHASTA
DURING THIS DROUGHT. SO WHY
DOESN'T RECOGNITION JUST HOLD
BACK MORE COLD WATER BEHIND
SHASTA- SIMPLY PUT IT'S BECAUSE
RECLAMATION BELIEVES THAT WATER
DELIVERIES TO GROUP OF SO CALLED
SENIOR WATER RIGHTS HOLDERS
BETWEEN SHASTA DAM IN
SACRAMENTO. EVEN IN DROUGHT
YEARS TAKE PRIORITY OVER
PROTECTING SALMON. BECAUSE
FRANKLY THOSE FOLKS START SOME
NOTES TO A TREE AROUND NINETEEN
HUNDRED AND DECLARED THE RIVER
THAT. IF THOSE INSERTED SENIOR
WATER RIGHTS WEREN'T STRIVING
SHASTA SEPARATION WE HAVE ENOUGH
COLD WATER FOR SALMON TO
SUCCESSFULLY REPRODUCED BELOW
SHASTA. SIMILARLY WE SEEN THE
SAN JOAQUIN RIVER COMPLETELY DRY
OUT AGAIN THIS YEAR BUT WAS
SACKED IN. THREATENING THE
RECOVERY OF THAT RIVER SALMON
POPULATION. BECAUSE RECLAMATION
DECIDED IT HAD TO DELIVER MORE
THAN SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRE
FEET OF WATER TO THE EXTREMES
CONTRACTORS. YOUR FOR YOUR
ENGAGE DISTRICTS WHO ALSO
CLAIMED SENIOR WATER RIGHTS. LET
ME JUST READ WHAT THE L. A.
TIMES SEVEN SUNDAYS THIS LAST
SUNDAY'S EDITORIAL ABOUT THESE
PARTICULAR CONTRACTS BECAUSE
THEIR FORMER OPEN TONIGHT. QUOTE
ONE I CALIFORNIANS MIGHT ASK
WHEN MOST OF US HAVE TO CONSERVE
SHOULD SOMEONE BE ABLE TO USE UP
BIG CHUNKS OF THE STATE'S SUPPLY
TO GROW EVEN MORE ALMONDS AND
PISTACHIOS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEIR
GREAT GRANDPARENTS GRABBED RIVER
ADJACENT LAND FROM INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE. UNQUOTE THIS IS NOT THE
WAY IT SHOULD- HAS TO BE THE
STATE HAS AMPLE LEGAL AUTHORITY
TO MITIGATE MANY OF THE
INEQUITABLE OF FACTS OF OUR
WATER RIGHT SYSTEM PARTICULARLY
WITH CALIFORNIANS DOCTRINES OF
REASONABLE USE AND PUBLIC TRUST.
IS DOCTRINES ALLOWING IN SOME
CASES REQUIRE REGULATORS TO
REEVALUATE WATER RIGHTS AND
REPRIORITIZE WATER USE THE STATE
AND CAN BE USED TO ENSURE THAT
THERE'S ADEQUATE WATER IN OUR
RIVERS AND STREAMS TO KEEP
MANIFESTING ECOSYSTEMS HEALTHY.
THE FOR STATUS SENIOR WATER
RIGHTS YOUR- THE STATE BOARD HAS
SUCCESSFULLY USED THOSE
DOCTRINES TO ENSURE MINIMUM
INSTREAM FLOWS TO PROTECT SALMON
DURING DROUGHT ON SMALLER CREEKS
AND WATERSHEDS LIKE MILLION DEER
CREEK. BUT HAS BEEN RELUCTANT TO
USE THEM ON LARGER RIVERS. EVEN
THOUGH UP PORTION OF THE WATER
CODE ADDED DURING THE DUTCH
REFORM ACT IN TWO THOUSAND NINE
. REQUIRES THAT THE LONGSTANDING
CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF
REASONABLE USE OF THE PUBLIC
TRUST DOCTRINE SHALL BE THE
FOUNDATION OF STATE WATER
MANAGEMENT POLICY AND ARE
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT AND
APPLICABLE TO THE DELTA.
CALIFORNIA'S WATER RIGHTS HAVE
BEEN EVOLVING SINCE STATEHOOD
BUT THOSE WHO ARE PRIVILEGED TO
BENEFIT FROM IT INEQUITABLE
SYSTEM ARE RESISTANT TO CHANGE.
THE STATE NEEDS TO MAKE FURTHER
REFORMS TO ADAPT TO THE
REALITIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND
REVERSE A CENTURY OF
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND
SYSTEMATIC DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES
AND COMMUNITIES COLOR. REFORMS
CAN HAPPEN THROUGH THE
ADMINISTRATION ASSERTING ITS
EXISTING AUTHORITIES LIKE THE
UNITED STATES JUST REQUIRING
RENEGOTIATION OF THE EXCHANGE
CONTRACT. FOR THROUGH LITIGATION
OR THROW LEGISLATIVE REFORMS
SUCH AS REQUIRING THE STATE
WATER BOARD TO APPLY THESE UNDER
USED TO FORTIES. CALIFORNIA'S
SALMON AND THE PEOPLE WHO DEPEND
ON THEM CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OR FORTY
ANSWERING QUESTIONS THANK YOU SO
MUCH PEOPLE SENIOR ATTORNEY TO
RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL REALLY
GRATEFUL THE MISSILES WITH US
HERE TODAY AND AS POLLS GOING TO
BE HANGING OUT WITH US SAID
SHE'LL BE BACK WITH US HERE IN
JUST A FEW MOMENTS. AS WE OPEN
IT UP FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE
PANEL IS FULL REALLY WONDERFUL
TO SEE THANK YOU SO MUCH WE'RE
NOT GONNA BE GOING TO DEEMING
GOOD MADE ME WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU SO MUCH TO MR GOODMAN HE'S
REPRESENTING CAL TRACK HE'S THE
DIRECTOR OF THE MOUNT SHASTA.
KLAMATH REGION FOR CONTRACT HE'S
HERE TO TALK WITH US ABOUT THE
ON GOING MAKE A DROP IN ITS IN
PACKS THAT. WERE SEEN UP AND
DOWN THE STATE WITH FISHERY
RESOURCES. AND HOW SHOULD WE
RETHINK THE WAY WE USE WATER HOW
SHOULD WE RETHINK WATER POLICIES
THAT WERE. CANDIDLY CREATED
DURING A WINTER TIME. THAT MR
GOODMAN IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL TO
HAVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
TAKING THE TIME TO FLOOR IS
YOURS YOU HAVE. FIVE MINUTES
WE'LL GIVE YOU THIRTY SECOND
PROMPT. YEAH THANK YOU SO- AND
IT'S BEEN A- CAR. W. PART OF
HERE. CALIFORNIA TROUT WORKS TO
RESTORE FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND WHEN
BROUGHT WHEN THIS TOPIC WAS
BROUGHT TO ME. ALL I COULD THINK
OF IS THAT THIS DROUGHT TOUCHES
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT WE
WORK ON ACROSS THE STATE. I'M
LOCATED HERE IN MOUNT SHASTA AND
RIGHT AROUND THE SPOT THAT.
DIVIDES THE SACRAMENTO SYSTEM
FROM THE KLAMATH. ZOGBY BRING
SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT. OVER THE LAST.
THIS LAST SUMMER AN EXAMPLE OF
THAT- I HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT
I SENT. OUT THAT BROUGHT UP OR
SHOULD I SET SHARED OPTIMIZED
SCREEN. ABSALOM IS A GIVEN IF
YOU JUST WANT TO SHARE SCREEN WE
SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO YOU MAY
NEED TO. FACEOFF AT MR MCMANUS
YOU MAY HAVE TO CLICK FORWARD IT
MAY NOT WORK IN YOUR MOUSE BUT
YOU MAY HAVE TO USE YOUR KEYPAD.
ON YOUR COMPUTER BUT LET'S TRY
IT OUT- WE'RE STARTING TO SEE
THERE WE GO WE SEE IT PULLED UP.
YOU'RE NOW IN FULL SCREEN MODE
SIR. EXCELLENT THANK YOU SO
MUCH. HERE'S A HERE'S AN IMAGE-
BRINGING THAT I TOOK FROM TURKEY
ALPS WILDERNESS OF SPRING RUN
CHINOOK IN SUMMER RUN STEELHEAD
TWO SPECIES THAT ARE HIGHLY
DEPENDENT. ON IN RIVER
CONDITIONS AND ACCESS TO COLD
CLEAN WATER- THIS SOS REPORT
IMAGE I'VE GOTTEN THE BOTTOM
CORNER IS AN EXAMPLE OF CAL
TRYOUTS EFFORTS TO. DOCUMENT THE
DIRE SITUATION OF SALMONIDS.
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. FREEING FOR
DIGS ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT'S BEEN
BROUGHT UP BY SEVERAL-
PRESENTERS BEFORE ME THE WINNER
CHINOOK- THIS IMAGE I TOOK LAST
WEEK ON MY DRIVE UP THE MCCLOUD
RIVER. WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND FORTY FEET OF DROP
AND NOT RESERVOIRS. AND WILL RUN
SHOULD NOT CURRENTLY EXIST AT
THE BOTTOM OF SHASTA DAM AND
THAT'S A LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR
THEM THAT IS NOT THEIR
HISTORICAL HABITATS. RESTORE
LOCAL HABITATS ARE UP IN THE
SPRING FED SYSTEMS LIKE FROM A
CLOUD. LAKE NORTH FORK BATTLE
CREEK AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS
THAT THIS LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM
THAT WE HAVE FOR THEM AT THE
BOTTOM OF SHASTA DAM IS NOT
SUSTAINABLE IN THIS MEGA
DROUGHT- I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE
EFFORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT AND
FEDERAL AGENCIES TO GET AND THE
WINNER WHEN SHE TRIED TO GET
FISH BACK. THESE FISH BACK TO
THEIR HISTORICAL HABITATS.
THROUGH EMERGENCY TRANSLOCATIONS
BUT THOSE ARE EMERGENCY ACTIONS
WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IS
VOLITIONAL PASSAGE ACCESS FOR
THESE SPECIAL- HISTORICAL
HABITATS IN BATTLE CREEK. THIS
IMAGE ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN
HERE IS A RECENTLY COMPLETED
PROJECT LAST FALL WE COMPLETED
THIS PASSAGE PROJECT THAT IS A
BIG STEP TOWARDS. RECONNECTING
WINTER RUN CHINOOK THEIR
HISTORICAL HABITATS AND WE SEE
MUCH MORE POTENTIAL AND NEW
OPPORTUNITIES IN BATTLE CREEK
AND IS THE FOCUS OF OUR WORK- IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. WE'RE ON
THE PRECIPICE OF MAJOR
RESTORATION FOR OUR FISHERIES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. THIS IS
AN IMAGE I TOOK LAST WEEK OF
IRON GATE RESERVOIR THE CURRENT
EXTENT OF ANATOMY AND THE
CLIMATE SYSTEM. BEGINNING IN
TWENTY TWENTY THREE AND THREE
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WE'RE GOING
TO SEE THE REMOVAL OF FOUR
MAINSTEM DAMS ON THE KLAMATH
RIVER OPENING UP FOR A HUNDRED
MILES OF ANADROMOUS HABITAT IN
THAT SYSTEM. AND RESTORING
HYDROLOGY THESE ARE THE TYPE OF
ACTIONS WE NEED TO RESTORE OUR
FISHERIES AND WE SEE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE ACROSS
CALIFORNIA INCLUDING IN BATTLE
CREEK THE EAGLE RIVER. DOWN IN
THE VENTURE- AND MALIBU IF YOU
ADD UP THE MILES OF HABITAT THAT
WILL BE. BROUGHT BACK FOR
ANADROMOUS FISH ROLL THOSE
ACTIONS WERE APPROACHING
SOMETHING LIKE EIGHT HUNDRED
MILES OF ADDITIONAL HABITAT SO
WHY ARE THESE ACTIONS TAKING SO
LONG WE NEED TO FIND WAYS TO
SPEED THIS UP AND GET THESE
PROJECTS MOVING FASTER. SO THAT
WE CAN GET OUR FISH BACK TO
THEIR HISTORICAL HABITATS
RESTORING THE HYDROLOGY AND ALL
THE THINGS THAT OUR PHYSICIANS
INVOLVED WITH. WE ALSO NEED TO
REIMAGINE THE RATE SCOPE AND
SCALE RIVER RESTORATION AS WE
NEED TO STOP THINKING ABOUT
METERS UPSTREAM RESTORED AND
START THINKING ABOUT CLIMBERS-
WE WANT TO APPLAUD THE THREE
BILLION DOLLARS OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SUPPORT THE STATE BUDGET THE
THESE RESOURCES ARE CRITICAL TO
MOVING THESE. THESE PROJECTS
FORWARD- WE ALSO WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THE EFFICIENCIES THAT
ARE BEING PUT IN PLACE. TO
IMPROVE- THE PERMITTING PROCESS
AND SPEED UP OUR ABILITY TO DO
RIVER RESTORATION THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE FROM- THE SHASTA
DRAINAGE- AND 98% OF THE
ANADROMOUS STREAM LINKS IN THE
CHAVEZ PRIVATELY OWNED. WE NEED
TO FIND WAYS TO REMOVE NOT ONLY
PHYSICAL BARRIERS BUT SOCIAL
BARRIERS TO RESTORATION WORKING
WITH LANDOWNERS TO RESTORE
HABITATS FOR FISH WHILE THE
SOLAR TAPING THEIR- THEIR
PRACTICES ON THEIR LAND. WE HAVE
A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES FROM THE
SHALL STORE WE'VE DONE THIS AND
JUST LAST YEAR COMPLETED THE
CARD DOES A RANCH PROJECT MOVING
A FISH PASSAGE BARRIER REEF
PLUMBING- THE DIVERSION SYSTEMS
AND IMPROVING THE IN STREAM
HABITAT QUALITY PURPOSES AND
PARKS CREEK. WE'RE BUILDING ON
THAT MOMENTUM INTO A PROPOSAL WE
HAVE NOW OUT NOW TO. INCREASE
THE SCOPE AND SCALE OF
RESTORATION IN THE SHASTA TO
INCLUDE A COLLABORATION OF SEVEN
DIFFERENT RANGES. THREE
DIFFERENT TRIBES AND OVER.
TWENTY SIX MILES OF RIVER. IS
DROPPING NORMAL. THIS IS AN
IMAGE I TOOK FROM THE MOUTH OF
THE SCOTT RIVER- A WEEK AGO.
THESE ARE CHINOOK SALMON IT
CANNOT MAKE IT INTO THE SCOTT
RIVER BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH
WATER TO SWIM UPSTREAM. WE NEED
TO MOVE AWAY FROM EMERGENCY
REACTION TO THIS DROUGHT AND
START THINKING ABOUT PERMANENT
SOLUTION PERMANENT AND LONG TERM
SOLUTIONS. DROUGHTS ARE GETTING
LONGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE WE
NEED TO IDENTIFY ACTIONS FOR
RESILIENCE. M. BROUGH IMPROVE
CAPACITY- FOR DEALING WITH
DROUGHT AND SO WHAT WE SEE IS A
PERMANENT STAFFING DEDICATED TO
DROUGHT RESPONSE THAT WE PUT
FORWARD AND AB TWO FOUR FIVE
ONE. WE NEED TO SEE SOME MORE
PERMANENT SOLUTIONS FOR THESE
ACTIONS AND NOT AND YOU'RE
YOU'RE A MERCHANT SEE. ABOUT
THIRTY SECONDS. THIS IS AN IMAGE
I TOOK. OF ME AND MY SON ON HIS
BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR RIGHT AND
JUST THE LOOK ON HIS FACE AND
THE FEELING OF GETTING THAT
CHINOOK SALMON IN HIS HANDS. WE
HAVE THE POWER TO KEEP THESE
FINISH AROUND FOR OUR NEXT
GENERATION AND THEREFORE ABLE TO
ACT. B. DYNAMIC ADAPT THIS
CHANGE AND PUT FISH FORWARD AND
OUR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS- WE CAN
HAVE FISH AROUND FOR NOT ONLY MY
SON'S GENERATION BUT HIS
CHILDREN TO. THANK YOU.
ESPECIALLY GIVEN REALLY NICE
WORK AND THAT IS A FANTASTIC
PHOTO BY THE WAY AND HOPEFULLY
HAVE THAT FRAMED- AT THE HOUSE
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER
GOODMAN IS GONNA BE STICKING
WITH US THAT WE'RE GONNA BE
OPENING UP FOR QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS HERE. IN JUST A FEW
MOMENTS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
WE'RE NOW GOING TO BE INVITING
GEORGIA BRAD SHOT TO COME
FORWARD HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF
THE PACIFIC COAST. FEDERATION OF
FISHERMEN'S ASSOCIATION ARE
PROUD NORTH COAST RESIDENT.
MISTER BRAD CHINA'S GONNA BE
TALKING ABOUT SALMON FISHING ON
THE OCEAN HE'S CAN BE HERE WE'RE
GONNA HEAR FROM REAL TIME ABOUT
WHAT HE'S SEEN IN THE CLAIMANTS
IN THE NORTH COAST IN REALLY HOW
THIS DROUGHT IS IMPACTING. ST
POPULATION BUT ALSO IMPACT IN
THE COMMUNITY WHERE HE CALLS
HOME AT PRESENT RANCHO WE
WELCOME YOU SIR YOU HAVE FIVE
MINUTES AND I'LL GIVE YOU.
THIRTY SECOND PROMPT THE FLOOR
IS YOURS. THANK YOU CENTER- YOU
ARE THE STATE I'M SHORT BROWN
TRUCK PRESS OF. PEACE YOU HAVE A
- I ALSO AM- ZERO POINT TO THE-
CALIFORNIA COMMERCIAL C. FOR THE
P. F. M. C. AS THE SALMON.
ADVISORY SUBCHANNEL THE LIFELONG
FISHERMEN OUT OF- CRESCENT CITY
CALIFORNIA. ARE GOING ON FOR
GENERATIONS- YOU AN UPDATE FROM
THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY. NOW AS A
DIRECTOR BONTA MENTIONED. YOU
KNOW THERE WAS YOU KNOW OCEAN
OCEAN HARVEST WAS ABOVE MODELED
EXPECTATIONS. HOWEVER YOU KNOW
IT'S STILL WELL BELOW HISTORIC
LEVELS- HE'S ACTUALLY THE
FISHERY IS RUNNING ON LIFE
SUPPORT. YOU KNOW THE FEAR IS
THAT. YOU KNOW THIS LIFE SUPPORT
STAYS THAT WERE ON IS THIS YEAR
BEING INDUCED BY THE POOR AND
RIVER CONDITIONS WHICH YOU KNOW
THE OTHER PANELIST AND DIRECTOR
HIMSELF AND YOU SENATOR HAVE
TOUCHED ON- YELLOW FLOWS. I
WATER TEMPERATURES- OXYGEN
LEVELS- THE ONLY DISEASE.
OUTBREAKS AND- YOU KNOW. WHAT
WE'VE IS THAT YOU KNOW IF WE-
CAN'T FIGURE OUT. WHAT TO DO
ABOUT THAT IN IN IN THE OUTLOOK
THAT SEEMS TO BE. FROM NOT
LOOKING ANY BETTER IN THE FUTURE
ARE YOU WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE
AND DROUGHT- YOU KNOW. WE SIMPLY
LOOK AT THE NEED TO SHIP
MANAGEMENT AND YOU KNOW SOME OF.
WHAT THE DIRECTOR MENTIONED YOU
KNOW RANG TRUE IN THE SENSE
THAT- YOU KNOW. THE RELEASE
STRATEGIES THAT WE'VE USED FOR
THE LAST HANDFUL YEARS TRUCKING
FISH ON YOUR TO INSURE THAT
THERE WASN'T- SURE DEATH IN THE
SYSTEMS OF THE SMALL YOU ARE
MIGRATING AND- THE RESULT OF
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOU KNOW.
SURE FISHERY FAILURES. YOU KNOW
AND WE NEED TO GROW ON THAT FROM
. YOU KNOW LIKE THE LAST
PRESENTER YOU KNOW SHOWED THAT
YOU KNOW IS THIS THE NEW NORMAL
AND UNFORTUNATELY THE FEAR IS
THAT IT MIGHT BE AND IF IT IS
YOU KNOW WE NEED TO ADOPT
MANAGEMENT. TO TAKE THAT IN AND
YOU KNOW IF WE DON'T GET TO THE
POINT OF ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT-
YOU KNOW. THERE WON'T BE THE
FISHERIES WITH THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES RELY ON AND- YOU
KNOW THE FISHERIES OURSELVES
RELY ON. FROM YOU KNOW THE IT
IT'LL GO AWAY WITH YOU KNOW OUR
STATUS QUO QUO APPROACH AND-
HERE WE USE THE INDUSTRY YOU
KNOW SET HERE- AND MYSELF. IN
PARTICULAR- YOUR DAUGHTER AWAY
FOR ADVOCACY AND IN THESE
MEETINGS AND YOU KNOW TRYING TO
SUPPORT THE FISH. IN GENERAL-
THE- AND TO THAT POINT SENATOR
FROM YOU I HEARD YOU MENTION
THAT YOU KNOW THEY'VE DONE THE
CRAB FISHERY IS A TIER ONE
CROWD. CHEER ONE FISHERY FOR THE
STATE. AND YOU KNOW. TWENTY FIVE
THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO THE SALMON
FISHERY USED TO BE THE SAME ON
USED TO AVOID. A LOT OF PEOPLE
UP AND DOWN THE COAST YOU KNOW
THE FOR COASTLINE OUT ACT SALMON
FISHERIES. YEAH THE LOCAL KEEP
OUR COMMUNITIES THEN- ECONOMIES
THRIVED FROM THE SALMON FISHERY
AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE NO MORE.
ON THE ON THE NORTH COAST
RECENTLY DOESN'T HAVE SALMON
FISHERIES ANYMORE VERY LITTLE
RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY IN IN
IN THE CENTURY ZERO COMMERCIAL
OPPORTUNITY. IT'S A DIRECT
EFFECT. TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. AND LOCAL ECONOMIES AND- YOU
KNOW. WHAT I YOU MIGHT MY IN.
OUR OUT OF. THIS HERE IS THAT
YOU KNOW. POTENTIALLY WE COULD
MOVE FORWARD WITH ONGOING
DISCUSSIONS AND- ARE SET UP.
SOME CALL SENATOR LIKE WE HOST
ON THE TWO BY TWO DOZEN THIS
CROWD CALLS YOU KNOW. WHICH ARE
SPECIFIC TO THE CRAB FISHERY
BUT- I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL
IF WE WERE ABLE TO DESIGN SOME
CALLS OR MEETINGS. ARE SPECIFIC
TO SALMON ARM WHERE WE
ESSENTIALLY GET EVERYONE IN THE
ROOM. YOU KNOW I HEARD THE
DIRECTOR MENTIONED I HEARD YOU
MENTION IT AND- TELL US SAYS
INDUSTRY WRAPS FROM YOUR WOULD
BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO. DO THAT
AND IT'S YOU KNOW SHARE OUR
EXPERIENCES. ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF
THE FISH AND- YOU KNOW ALL THE
MANAGEMENT ASPECTS THAT WERE
INVOLVED IN AS WELL AND YOU'RE
TRYING TO MOVE. THROUGH THIS
DROUGHT PHASE WHICH
UNFORTUNATELY IS LOOKING TO BE
THE NEW NORMAL- YOU KNOW IF WE
COULD ADAPT MANAGEMENT. TO
SIXTEEN FROM YOU KNOW. THAT
WOULD BE THE BEST CASE FORWARD
BUT YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
TO CONTINUE TO WAIT ON WE NEED
ACTION AND YOU KNOW FROM THE
INVOLVEMENT OF THOSE CALLS
SPECIFIC TO DUNGENESS CRAB- YOU
KNOW I KNOW THAT. YEAH WE ARE
ABLE TO GET ACTION THROUGH. THE
LEGISLATURE HEALTH AND IN
THROUGH YOUR SUPPORT SENATOR-
YOU KNOW AND- ONE LAST- YOU KNOW
CLEAN UP HERE. WE SUBMITTED
WRITTEN TESTIMONY- YOU KNOW AND
WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE INCLUDED
IN THE RECORD OF SUPPORTING
INFORMATION. ON TEMPERATURE. AND
IN NEEDS FOR IN RIVER AND- YOU
KNOW IF THAT COULD BE- INCLUDED
FOR OFFICIAL RECORDS IN THE
CURRENT. PRESERVATION WE DO HAVE
THAT ON FILE THANK YOU SO MUCH-
IN FOCUS SEEN OBVIOUSLY ON
TEMPERATURE IN OTHER REMARKS-
GEORGE READ SHOT YES WE DO HAVE
THAT THANK YOU PRESIDENT OF THE
PACIFIC COAST FEDERATION OF
FISHERMEN'S ASSOCIATION. WE'RE
REALLY GRATEFUL YOU'RE WITH US
AND I JUST LIKE THE REQUEST THAT
WE HAVE FOR MR MCMANUS IN
REGARDS TO THE UPPER SACK IN THE
AMERICAN- IN REGARDS TO- FALL
RUN. AND THAT MORTALITY RATE
PLUS TEMPERATURE THAT WE HAVE
ADDED ANOTHER FOLLOW UP IN
REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL SETTING
UP MEETINGS ON SALMON JUST LIKE
WE'RE DOING WITH THE TWO BY TWO
BY TWO- ON COMMERCIAL CRAP SO
AGAIN PRESENT RIGHT SHOTS REALLY
GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU. KNOW HOW
BUSY YOU ARE ALL RIGHT WE'RE
GONNA OPEN IT UP FOR SOME BRIEF
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS AND I
WANNA. GO TO- MISTER GOODMAN
FIRST AND I'D LIKE TO GO TO MISS
POOL IN THE MISTER MCMANUS IF
IT'S ALL RIGHT. IS A GOOD MAN-
YOU HAD A SLIDE THAT SAYS THAT
THE STATE NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THE
RATE THE SCOPE AND SCALE. OF
RIVER RESTORATION AND- THINK
IT'S REALLY MISTER GOODMAN I
DON'T PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH
BUT IS BECAUSE OF. THE ABSOLUTE
EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WERE
SEEN ON THE GROUND. IN THIS NEW
REALITY THAT WERE LIVING IN. SO
IF YOU CAN WALK US THROUGH AND
I'M GOING TO ASK IN A POLISH ICE
TO KEEP YOUR RESPONSE TO SIXTY
SECONDS. TOP THREE. ISSUE
BESIDES REMOVE. THAT YOU SEE.
THE STATE DO NOW- ON THE-
PICKING UP THE SCALE AND SCOPE
OF RESTORATION IN OUR PROTECTING
THE SPECIES SIXTY SECONDS MISTER
GOODMAN. YEAH THANK YOU SO MUCH
AND YOU KNOW- MR BONHAM BROUGHT
UP GO OVER DOING- BETTER THAN
THEY HAVE THE LAST FEW YEARS BUT
IN THE SHASTA RIVER THAT EXAMPLE
THAT I SHOWED. WERE AROUND 1% OF
THE MINIMUM RECOVERY GOAL FOR CO
SALMON AND THAT RIVER AND SO TO
KEEP. RUNS LIKE THAT AROUND WE
NEED TO INCREASE THE RATE SKATE
SCOPE AND SCALE OF OUR RIVER
RESTORATION APPROACHES. THE YOU
KNOW WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS- I
THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT THIS AND ONE
OF THE WAYS WE'RE APPROACHING
THIS IS NOT GOING FOR SEPARATE.
RODDICK'S WERE PLANNING DESIGN
CONSTRUCTION POSTMODERN CAN WE
BRING THOSE ALL INTO ONE
PROJECTS- AND LOOK AT LARGER
SCALES RIGHT INSTEAD OF THINKING
OH WELL WE'VE GOT THIS ONE BANK
TO RESTORE LET'S THINK OF AN
ENTIRE DRAINAGE. AND ATTACKED
BY- SO THAT THAT'S ONE THAT'S
ONE OF THE APPROACHES AND HAVING
AGENCIES- THING GRANTS GRANTING
ORGANIZATIONS THAT TRUST US
WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY- AND SO.
I THINK I THINK THAT THAT'S ONE
OF THE APPROACHES I WOULD. I
WOULD SUGGEST THERE- SCREEN JUST
CAN AND HAVE YOU WRAPPED UP HERE
REALLY QUICKLY PLEASES GOODMAN
AND I WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW UP
WITH YOU IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU
BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS.
LIGHTNING ROUND SCIENTOLOGIST
MISTER GOODMAN PLEASE- IF YOU
WANT TO CONCLUDE. THE OTHER THE
OTHER THING I WOULD BRING UP IS
FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS IN THE TOP
PRIORITY AREAS RIGHT AND REALLY
A STRATEGIC APPROACH FOR
RESTORATION RATHER THAN FIXING
ALL OF OUR BACKYARD LET'S LET'S
FOCUS ON THESE LARGER TOPICS-
TARGETS AND THAT ARE MOST
IMPORTANT FOR OUR FINISH. AND
LET'S GET THOSE ACROSS THE
FINISH LINE TWO MOST IMPORTANT A
FISH MOST IMPACTED RIGHT- IN
IMPAIRED- BODIES OF WATER BASED
OFF OF THE WATERSHED. THE GOOD
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS A GOOD MAN
IN. MUCH AND THAT THAT HIT HOME
IN REGARDS TO WHAT YOU HAD IN
THE POWER POINT IN MYSELF MISTER
SCULLY WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH
YOU AND AGAIN I'M NOT TRYING TO
PUT MISTER GOODMAN I MISS POOL
MISTER MCMANUS ON THE SPOT. I
KNOW THAT WE ARE A DIFFERENT A
LITTLE SHORT ON TIME. IN WILL BE
FOLLOWING UP FOR FURTHER
DISCUSSION ON THIS. SO LET'S GO
TO MISS PULLMAN'S POOL. AT SAME
QUESTION REGARDS TO. THE RATE
THE SCOPE AND SCALE OF
RESTORATION PROTECTING THE
SPECIES. YOU TALKED ABOUT-
HISTORIC WRONGS MY WORD. RELATED
TO WATER MANAGEMENT IN THE STATE
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A HUGE ONE.
BLACKNESS POOL ON A TURNOVER YOU
SIXTY SECONDS PLEASE. WELL WE
CAN'T LOSE THE IMPORTANCE OF-
INSTREAM FLOW. TO RESTORATION
EFFORTS. RESTORING HABITAT IS
GREAT AND DESPERATELY NEEDED BY
. WE NEED A WET THAT HABITAT IT
NEEDS TO BE YOU KNOW INUNDATED
IF THAT'S IF IT'S- FLOODPLAIN IT
NEEDS TO BE- PROVIDING NOW THE-
ATTRIBUTES THAT THE FISHING SO.
THAT'S THE PIECE THAT WE'VE
REALLY SEEN- FRANKLY THIS
ADMINISTRATION NOT TO A VERY
GOOD JOB. MISTER MCMANUS POINTED
OUT- THE VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT
PROCESS WHERE THE FLOW- INCREASE
SAYS THAT THE SCIENCE SUPPORTS
KEEP GETTING RATCHETED BACK TO
NEGATIVE NUMBERS NOW- THERE ARE.
SEVERAL PLACES WHERE THE STATE
CAN AND SHOULD BE HELPING I
MENTIONED THAT THEY THE STATE
WATER BOARD HAS USED SOME OF ITS
REASONABLE USE OF FORTY TO
REQUIRE INSTREAM FLOWS ON
SMALLER TRIBUTARIES THEY SHOULD
EXPAND THAT OUT TO SOME OF THESE
IMPORTANT SALMON STREAMS. THE
BUREAU OF RECLAMATION DID JUST
OPEN UP THESE- EXCHANGE
CONTRACTS WHICH WERE NEGOTIATED
IN THE SIXTIES BASED ON WATER
RIGHTS FROM THE TURN OF THE LAST
CENTURY- FOR RENEGOTIATION THE
STATE SHOULD PARTICIPATE THERE
AND PUSH HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT
. NO CONTRACTS ALLOCATING MORE
THAN THE ENTIRE FLOW OF A RIVER
WHICH THEY DO NOW IN DROUGHT OR-
ALLOWING FOR THE RIVER TO BE
DRIED UP AMONG OTHER THINGS. AND
FINALLY IN THE CURRENT
ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
REINITIATED PROCESS FOR THE
STATE WATER PROJECT AND THE
CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT THEY
SHOULD BE LOOKING AT SOME OF
THESE WATER DELIVERY CONTRACTS
THAT ARE CLEARLY NOT WORKABLE
ANYMORE AND INCORPORATING THOSE
AND MAKING SURE. THAT THEY CAN
MAKE THE CHANGES THAT ARE
NECESSARY TO MAKE THOSE
COMPATIBLE WITH HEALTHY RIVERS
HEALTHY SALMON AND OTHER NATIVE
SUCH. AS FULL YOU'RE THE BEST
I'M SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT
YOUR INCREDIBLY ARTICULATE AND
VISIONARY THANK YOU FOR THAT-
YEAH AND THAT WAS LIKE YEAR
ROUND BY KEEP COOL SENIOR
ATTORNEY FOR THE NATURAL
RESOURCES. DEFENSE COUNCIL
REALLY REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT
AND WE'RE GONNA BE FOLLOWING UP
WITH YOU MISS POOL ON THAT SO WE
CAN GET THAT IN WRITING AND
REALLY GRATEFUL ALL RIGHT ABOUT
CLEAN UP HERE IS JOHN MCMANUS
PRESENT THE GOLDEN STATE SALMON
ASSOCIATION. SAME QUESTION SIR.
SIXTY SECONDS THE FLOOR'S YOURS
. THE BOTTOM LINE. FOR LOCATE
AND JUST HERE IF. BUT
REALISTICALLY I'M SHE'S RIGHT WE
NEED WATER. WE NEED AND I THINK
- ONE OF THE QUESTIONS BECOMES
WHAT IS IT THAT THE LEGISLATURE
COMPUTER- BECAUSE SO MUCH OF.
WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON- INVOLVES
REVOLVES AROUND THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT
THE STATE LEGISLATURE CAN AND
SHOULD DO. AND I JUST WANT TO RE
ITERATE OF DON'T SUPPORT.
FUNDING FOR THE CURRENT
VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT PROCESS IF
THE VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS START
TO GO IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION
AND DELIVER WATER LIKE TO TWENTY
EIGHTEEN STATE WATER BOARD WAS
ENVISIONING. THEN WE CAN HAVE
SOME TO TALK ABOUT BUT RIGHT NOW
THE VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS ARE
GOING TO GO FORWARD WITHOUT SOME
TYPE OF LEGISLATIVE FUNDING. AND
THAT'S WHERE THE LEGISLATURE CAN
MAKE A MARK YOU'RE ALSO LIKELY
TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMENT. AND YOU'LL BE ASKED FOR
FUNDING OF THE LEGISLATURE AT
THE LEGISLATURE ON- THE SITES
RESERVOIR PROJECT. IN ON THE
DELTA TUNNEL PROJECT. BOTH OF
THEM ARE LIKELY TO BE VERY
DAMAGING FOR SALE AND- WE URGE
THE LEGISLATURE TO LOOK AT THESE
THINGS VERY CAREFULLY IF THEY
ALL KNEW THE SUBJECT MATTER LIKE
YOU DO CENTER MCGUIRE I WOULDN'T
BE WORRIED ABOUT IT. WE JUST
HOPE THAT OTHER LEGISLATORS WILL
COME TO YOU AND AVAIL THEMSELVES
OF YOUR EXPERIENCE YEAH THE
INFORMATION YOU PICKED UP. SO
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP. MATHIS I THINK WE TO
TURN THE PAGE SAY WE NEED TO YOU
. LOOK THIS MENACES AND COME
FROM BUT I TELL YOU. IF YOU NEED
TO FIND OUT ANYTHING ON SAM IN
IN HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT SEVEN
THE STATE. YOU GO TO THE PRESENT
. HIM IS SO SHE CAN HELLO MISTER
MISS THINK YOU MISTER. REALLY
GREAT FOR THAT IN FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP SIR THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING WITH US. SO HERE'S
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FROM THIS
PANEL WE'RE GOING TO BE
FOLLOWING UP WITH MISS POOL
MISSION COMMANDERS MISTER
GOODMAN- ON THOSE FORMAL
RECOMMENDATIONS- INTO THAT WE
HAVE THEM IN WRITING. WILL BE
POSTING THOSE TO OUR WEBSITE
HERE AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
TO OUR CHIEF CONSULTANT. TEN
SCHOOL YOUR HONOR TO BE WORKING
WITH YOUR TODAY- IN FOR ALL THIS
WORK IN ORGANIZING TODAY'S
HEARING. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
FOLLOWING UP WITH THOSE THREE-
ROCKSTARS THAT WE JUST TALKED
TO. IN THE END WE ALSO HAVE DOWN
THAT FROM PRESIDENT BRAD SHOT.
FROM PC FFA ABOUT SETTING UP
MEETINGS THE TWO BY TWO BY TWO.
A SIMILAR FORMAT THAT WE DO
INTENTION IS CRAP BETWEEN. BOTH
ASSOCIATIONS IN THE PROCESSORS
ON WHAT WE CAN DO POTENTIALLY-
IN REGARDS TO SALMON WITH THE
DEPARTMENT AS WELL AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA. TAKE
TO HEART AND I WILL BE FOLLOWING
UP WITH THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
ON THAT. WE ARE KEEPING TRACK OF
EACH OF THESE FOLLOW UPS-
DILIGENTLY SOAKING THANK YOU TO
OUR PANEL FOCUSED ON FISHERIES
AND- THE DROUGHT WERE REALLY
GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE WITH US
HERE TODAY. ALRIGHT LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN WE'RE NOW MOVING ON
TO- THE FIRST PANEL THAT WE HAVE
HAD. ON THE ISSUE OF HEALTH THAT
WE CALL THIS ALL HANDS ON DECK
SITTING KELP. IN CALIFORNIA. AND
WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING BOTH THE
- OF NATIVE KELP IN CALIFORNIA
COASTAL WATERS. IS WELLS
HELPING. THE AQUACULTURE.
INDUSTRY IS RUNNING TO HELP. GET
STARTED HERE IN THE GOLDEN
STATE. WE'RE GONNA BE HEARING
FROM DR MICHAEL GRAHAM HE'S A
PROFESSOR AT MOSS LANDING MARINE
LABORATORIES. HE'S GOING TO BE
SPEAKING TO THE COMMITTEE ABOUT
THE KELP INDUSTRY. THAT NATURAL
SEA WEED POPULATIONS AS WELL. AS
COPPER SITUATION. THAT WE ARE SO
GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE DOCTOR
HEY. WITH US TODAY HE'S A MARINE
ECOLOGIST FROM THE BIG DAY.
MARINE LAB. IN OUR NECK OF THE
WOODS DR HAMILTON CAN BE. ABOUT
BOTH WERE. COME FOREST. OKAY IN
- KELP AQUACULTURE. CAN HELP
SUPPORT CALLS TO LIVELIHOOD. OF
COURSE WE HAVE A REALLY COOL.
WITH TODAY THE SENIORS. OFFICER
FROM THE OCEAN SCIENCE TRUST.
THIS CARD CAN BE SPEAKING ABOUT.
THE TRUST- NEEDS ASSESSMENT THE
DAVID VANCE THE POTENTIAL ROLE
OF. A RESTORATIVE AND A
CONSERVATION AQUACULTURE. TO
HELP. HELP RESTORATION
THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND WE'RE
GRATEFUL THAT JENNER GOALS WITH
US TODAY SHE IS- WITH THE
CALIFORNIA NATURAL RESOURCES
AGENCY SHE'S THE ACT IN THE
ACTING. DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR
OCEANS AND COASTAL POLICY AND IF
YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT SHE HAD A
LONG ENOUGH TIED OR SHOULD
ENOUGH TO DO SHE IS NOW OBCS
ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SO-
THAT BUSINESS CARD IS GETTING
LARGE ENDEAVOR REALLY GRATEFUL.
THAT DIRECTOR- ECKEL CANNOT BE
WITH US TODAY TALKING ABOUT THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH DFW AND
DEVELOPING KELP ACTION PLAN ALL
RIGHT SO WHY DON'T WE GET INTO
IT WE'RE REALLY. APPRECIATIVE
THAT DOCTOR GRAHAM IS GONNA BE
KICKING US OFF AGAIN DOCTOR
GRAHAM IS A PROFESSOR AT AT SAN
JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY DR GRAHAM
YEP FIVE MINUTES THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR YOUR FOCUS ON THIS
CRITICAL ISSUE. WILL GIVE YOU
THIRTY SECOND PROMPT. DR GRAHAM
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU
CENTER BY- I'M CALPERS APOLOGY
WHO'S BEEN IN CALIFORNIA FOR
OVER THIRTY YEARS. I'M ALSO KILL
FARMER HERE SO COMMERCIAL FARMER
. HAVE A PRETTY OF HOW BOTH WORK
AND I JUST REALLY WANT TO
INTRODUCE THIS COMMITTEE. SOME
IDEAS THAT I THINK YOU PROBABLY
DON'T NEED INTRODUCTION TO KILL
FORCE ARE CRITICAL TO THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. ECOLOGICALLY AND
ECONOMICALLY- BIODIVERSITY IN
THE RAIN SYSTEM IS DRIVEN A LOT
BY THE WAXING AND WANING OF KELP
FORESTS. BUT ALSO LOCAL
ECONOMIES THROUGH FISHERIES
TOURISM AND RECREATION- ARE ALSO
CRITICALLY DEPENDENT ON THIS
THIS RESOURCE NÓ THIS RESOURCE.
IS DISTRIBUTED. THROUGH THE
ENTIRE COAST FROM CRESCENT CITY
DOWN TO SAN DIEGO. M. BUT
ALTHOUGH IT IS A STATEWIDE
RESOURCE- THE THREE REGIONS
REALLY DO ACT DYNAMICALLY
DIFFERENT SO. IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA- SOUTH CONCEPTION
ACCORDS ARE DOMINATED BY THE
PERENNIAL GIANT KELP MACROS AS
FIRE BROKE. WHEREAS IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA NORTH OF SAN
FRANCISCO BANK- WE'RE LOOKING AT
SYSTEMS DOMINATED BY THE ANNUAL
BOWL CAL. ASSISTANCE WE CANNOT
AND IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO IN
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA WE'VE GOT A
MIX OF BOTH GIANT HELP AND THAT
AND BULL KELP. DOMINATING SO
THERE REALLY ARE DISTINCT
REGIONS WHEN YOU THINK OF KELP
FORESTS- AND NATURALLY THEY'VE
BEEN HISTORICALLY RESILIENT TO.
INDIVIDUAL STRESSORS WAVES I'M
HEATWAVES STORMS AND SO EVENTS.
POLLUTION LOSS OF PREDATORS-
THESE SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN HEAVY
VAULT- IN THESE AREAS TO REALLY
BE REALLY DYNAMIC. WHAT WE'VE-
SEEN ALSO HISTORICALLY SET OF
DEFORESTATION IS RELATIVELY RARE
STATEWIDE- IN A NATURAL SYSTEM.
WE CLEARLY GET DEFORESTATION
EVENTS- BUT THEY RARELY LAST AS
LONG OR AS WIDESPREAD AS IN
OTHER STATES FOR EXAMPLE ALASKA.
HOWEVER RECENTLY WHAT WE ARE
NOTICING WHAT WE PREDICTED IS
THAT CALIFORNIA'S ARE ACTUALLY
QUITE VULNERABLE WHEN MULTIPLE
STRESSORS HAPPEN SIMULTANEOUSLY.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEN
RECENTLY IN THE LAST DECADE.
JUST TO GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE- YOU
KNOW THAT DOES. IT IN TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN WE HAD A WIDE
SPREAD WEST COAST. SEA STAR
WASTING DISEASE- THIS IS. A
DISEASE THAT DEVASTATED C.
STARTS IN CALIFORNIA. WHAT AND-
IT THESE ARE KNOWN PREDATOR OF.
SEA URCHIN WHICH ARE THE
DOMINANT- GRAZER IN THE SYSTEMS
WHILE TOP ON TOP OF THAT WE GOT
A CLIMATIC ANOMALY CALLED THE
BLOB THAT HAPPENED IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN- AND THAT PUT AN EXTRA
STRESS ARE ON THE KILL
PARTICULARLY- IN WHICH- IT WAS
VERY HARD TO HOLD THE
PRODUCTIVITY LEVELS AND
RECRUITMENT LEVELS- AND THE
CALPERS THE DOT. THE PRIMARY
FOOD ITEM FIRST YEAR JONES NOW
THE URCHINS IN THE ABSENCE OF
BOTH PREDATORS AND THE CALHOUN
CAME OUT AND REALLY STARTED SOME
WIDESPREAD GRAZING STATEWIDE IT
WAS EXTREMELY- CONSPICUOUS IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT WAS
FOUNDED ALL THREE REGIONS IN THE
STATE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE
DEFORESTATION I MEAN IT WAS
BASICALLY A TRIPLE WHAMMY AND-
IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN PROBLEMATIC
NOW IT'S REALLY BAD IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA WHERE THE DOMINANT
HELP IS AN ANNUAL- BECAUSE IT'S
ONLY GROWING THROUGH. A FEW
MONTHS OF THE YEAR- AND THAT
MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR
THOSE POPULATIONS TO RECOVER
WITHOUT INTERVENTION- YOU'LL
PROBABLY HEAR FROM DOCTOR
HAMILTON A LITTLE BIT LATER IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THESE
NUMBERS ARE DEVASTATING RIGHT
YOU HEAR NUMBERS. FOR NUMBERS OF
NINETY FIVE IN SOME REGIONS
PROBABLY 99% DEFORESTATION SEVEN
CALIFORNIANS CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
ARE NOT AS HIGH AS THOSE
NUMBERS. BUT WE SEEN
DEFORESTATION- STATEWIDE SO
WHAT'S BEEN THE RESPONSE I'M
REALLY HAPPY THAT THERE WAS A
FAST RESPONSE THERE WAS A REALLY
GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH STATE
AGENCIES. FEDERAL AGENCIES NGOS
FISHERMEN- AND ACADEMICS TO
REALLY GET IN AND DO SOMETHING
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE FUNDING
BECAME AVAILABLE. AT THE STATE
AND FEDERAL LEVELS- TO LOOK AT
DEFORESTATION RECOVERY WHAT THE
CAUSES OF IT AND WE COULD
POTENTIALLY BE DONE. FUNDING
BECAME AVAILABLE TO HELP
ORGANIZE- NGOS- NORMAL EVERYDAY
CITIZENS TO SCUBA DIVE- SYNERGEN
FISHERMEN. TO HELP REMOVE SEA
URCHINS ACROSS VAST AREAS IN
CALIFORNIA NOW NOT FAST NOT
MEANING STATEWIDE. BUT IN AREAS
WHERE THEY COULD POTENTIALLY. BE
LOCALISED IMPACT AND THIS IS AN
ON THEN IT EFFORT- AND THEN BEEN
A LOT OF WORK TO STUDY. KELP AND
WHAT'S DRIVING URCHINS AND
WHAT'S DRIVING DISEASE AND- AND
ESPECIALLY WHAT'S REALLY GOING
ON WITH THE DOMINANT WRITERS IN
THE SYSTEM IN PRIMARILY HERE-
THE SUNFLOWER STORE STAR WHICH
WAS DEVASTATED DURING THAT C.
START DISEASE- AND SO IT WAS
VERY EXCITING TO SEE FUNDING.
ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC
COME VERY QUICKLY TO THIS GROUP
OF RESEARCHERS THAT BEEN
STUDYING- CAL SYSTEM FOR DECADES
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY
EFFECTIVE IN AT LEAST GETTING.
US STARTED ON WHAT TO DO SO
WHERE ARE WE NOW. WE HAD FUTURE
REMOVALS- THROUGHOUT THE STATE-
THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT VERY FAST
BUT WHEN THEY HAPPEN THEY WORK.
WHAT YOU'RE BASICALLY DOING IS
YOU'RE BRINGING DOWN PRESSURE ON
THOSE ON THOSE CONSUMERS. AND
COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE A LOT OF MEDIA STATEWIDE
FOR LAST YEAR YOU'RE GETTING
AREAS OF KELP GROWTH- THROUGHOUT
THE STATE NOW THIS IS NOT
WIDESPREAD RECOVERY. BUT IT IS
DEFINITELY A SIGN- OF RECOVERY
POTENTIAL AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE.
WE'RE ALSO STARTING TO SEE
THROUGHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL
AS SOME- SCIENTIFIC MONITORS
THAT THE SUNFLOWER STORES ARE
STARTING TO REAPPEAR. THEY ARE
NOT IN LARGE NUMBERS BUT AGAIN
IT IS A GREAT SIGN AND THERE IS
LOTS OF WORK HAPPENING BEHIND
THE SCENES ON WHAT ELSE CAN BE
DONE TO RESTORE THESE IMPORTANT
MATTERS. NOW KELP RESTORATION-
BOTH IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR
SYSTEMS HERE AND THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. THERE'S BEEN SOME
WORKABLE TO. MOBILIZE COMMERCIAL
CAL- AQUACULTURE- FIRMS AS WELL
AS NGOS TO TRY TO DO SOME
RESTORATION TECHNIQUES- THESE
HAVEN'T BEEN QUITE AS EFFECTIVE-
IT REALLY IS A LABOR INTENSIVE
PROCESS WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN.
AND HAPPENS ON SMALL SCALES BUT
THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME SIGNS OF
PROGRESS FROM SAN DIEGO THROUGH
THROUGH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AS
WELL. AND WE'RE STARTING TO SEE
RECOVERY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
THERE ARE SOME REGIONS WHERE WE
ARE SEEING PEOPLE KEPT COMING
BACK. SIMPLY BY REMOVING THE
PRESSURE FROM THE GARCHING
BRACING- AGAIN IT'S NOT. 101%
BUT IT IS A GREAT SIGN THIRTY
SIX. IN CAL. WE ARE AT SEEING
MUCH MORE NATURI CREWMEN AND
ALONG THE MODERATE. WERE SEEN
NUMBERS FAR HIGHER THAN WE WOULD
EXPECT I'M STATE WHAT A NORMAL
RECOVERY SO WE ARE SEEING SOME
GREAT- SIGNALS THAT THE SYSTEM
IS STARTING TO RESPOND. AND WE
REALLY WANT TO APPLAUD THE
PARTNERSHIP FOR MONTHS ALL OF
THESE GROUPS- TO JUST BETTER
UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM. THANK YOU
THANK YOU SO MUCH DOCTOR AM I
GONNA BREAK OUR OWN MY OWN
RULING AND ASK YOU A QUICK
QUESTION I MEAN HAS TO KEEP IT
TO ABOUT SIXTY SECONDS. TO MY
UNDERSTANDING IS- IT. START
BECAUSE OF THE STARFISH WASTING
DISEASE YET A DIE OFF OF
STARFISH WOULD STARFISH EIGHT
URCHINS MERCHANTS WITH ENABLE
THE- OVER POPULATE THAT
OVERPOPULATION. MENDED THEY WENT
AFTER THAT THE KELP. IN ADDITION
YET THE BLOB WHICH- CREATED. BAD
CONDITIONS IN THE C. WHICH
CREATED THIS PERFECT STORM FOR
THE DIE OFF CORRECT. WRAPPED IN.
SO THE 99% DAY AYE DIOS THAT WE
SEEN IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
MAYBE DOCTOR HAMILTON HAMILTON
CAN EXPAND ON THIS- ARE WE
LOOKING AT A- FIVE PERCENT. GROW
BACK 10% SINCE THE PEAK THAT
DOCTOR GRAHAM AND WILL TURN IT
OVER TO DR HAMILTON AND MOMENT.
YES AND SO I REALLY ONLY HAVE
THE DIRECT EVIDENCE FROM OUR
RESTORATION WORK THAT'S BEING
DONE IN ALBION UP IN MENDOCINO-
COUNTY AND I THINK- DOCTOR
HANDLED DEFTLY BUILT SPEAK MORE
BROADLY IN THIS. WHAT WE SAY
WE'RE NOT SEEN NUMBERS IN THE
FIFTY TO SEVENTY PERCENT- IN IT
IS VERY LOCALIZED IT IS ONLY IN
THE AREAS THAT ARE IN SHALLOW
WATER OVER THE ORIGINS ARE NOT
ABLE TO GET TO AREN'T ERRORS
WHEN WE REMOVE THEM. SO YOU'RE
PROBABLY LOOKING AT NUMBERS OF
5210% WERE WE HAVE DIRECT
EVIDENCE BUT I THINK DOCTOR
HAMILTON WILL HAVE A MUCH MORE
EDUCATED ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION
OUR PERCENT I DON'T TRANSMIT
HANGING WITH US BECAUSE THEY
WANT TO GET INTO THE ISSUE
PURPLE URCHINS- HERE IN JUST A
BIT BUT- I WITHOUT FOR THE
DOCTOR GRAHAM. REALLY NICE JOB
AND REALLY GREAT AB ABILITY TO
SUMMARIZE THE CHALLENGE IN HOW
WE GOT INTO THIS- REALLY MESS
THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW WHERE WE
SAW THE DEFORESTATION SO THANK
YOU. ALL RIGHT GOOD AFTERNOON
DOCTOR HAMILTON DR HAMILTON IS A
MARINE ECOLOGIST FROM THE
BADESHA MARINE LAB WERE REALLY
GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE HERE TODAY.
I DOCTOR HAMILTON I BROKE MY OWN
RULE I APOLOGIZE- IT WON'T I'M
TAKING YOUR TIME YOU HAVE FIVE
MINUTES WE'LL GIVE YOU THIRTY
SECOND PROMPT. AND LOOK FOR TO
HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU
TODAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
CHANCE SPEAK TO. DR GRANT DID A
REAL GREAT JOB OF HIGHLIGHTING
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT. I
OF THE SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN
CURRENTLY. I WANT TO TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
OPPORTUNITIES. AND SO IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. I HOPE TO LEAD A
CONCOURSE RESTORATION PROJECT IN
WORLD COASTAL COMMUNITY IN
SOUTHERN OREGON. SAYS SOCIO
ECOLOGICAL SETTING VERY SIMILAR
TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE ARE
WORKING ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET
WE CAN AFFORD TO HIRE DRIVERS.
WILL COVER RECREATIONAL DIVERS
TO COME SPEND THEIR WEEKENDS
WITH LAST WORKING CALLING
VIRGINS FROM THIS COAST. WE HAVE
DOZENS. OF VOLUNTEER DRIVERS
FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. COMING
FROM ACROSS THE STATE. INCLUDING
DRIVING UP TO TEN HOURS ROUND
TRIP. THE VOLUNTEER THEIR
WEEKENDS ON THE PROJECT. IT
WASN'T JUST DRIVERS. WE HAVE
LOCAL FISHERS DOING FRESH
HALIBUT TO FEED THE DRIVERS.
LOCAL SHOPS BUT INCLUDING ON
THEIR MENUS TO EDUCATE THE
PUBLIC ABOUT VERGE INSURANCE.
NEEDS FOR OPERATORS DURING THE
BOTH TIME FOR THE RESTORATION
WORK. AND PUTTING IN LONG DAYS
ON THE WATER. NOT THE ON SITE IS
BEING A PART OF THIS PROJECT WAS
TRULY A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE FOR
ME BECAUSE I WAS JUST SO BLOWN
AWAY AT THE LEVEL OF MATH. AND
SUPPORT THAT HAD FROM COMMUNITY
MEMBERS UP AND DOWN THE COAST.
SIMILARLY. LOCAL COMMUNITY
MEMBERS ACTION. WE'VE SEEN THIS
HAPPEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
HOUSE VERDES. IN CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA TANKERS REEF AND UP
AND DOWN THE MENDOCINO AND
SONOMA COAST FINDS. EACH CASE
EUROPE RECREATIONAL DIVERS
REGION FISHERS FOR OPERATORS
SCIENTISTS. MANY OTHER CONCERNED
COMMUNITY MEMBERS VOLUNTEERING
THEIR WEEKENDS. PUTTING ASIDE
DIFFERENCES TO WORK TOGETHER
ORGANIZING EDUCATIONAL EVENTS
DONATING MONEY TO SAVE THEIR
CONCOURSE. SO WHY WHY DO YOU SEE
COASTAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS CHANGE
SO MUCH ABOUT THE LOSS OF THEIR
CONQUESTS. WITH BECAUSE COASTAL
COMMUNITIES RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANCE OF THESE ECOSYSTEMS
TO LOCAL MARINE SPECIES THE
LOCAL COASTAL ECONOMIES INTO
THEIR OWN SENSES OF PLACE AND
BELONGING. THE LIVELIHOODS AND
VITALITY OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES
PARTICULARLY RURAL ONES SUCH AS

FOR YOUR TIME TODAY AND WHEN WE
GET TO QUESTIONS OF HOW TO TALK
MORE ABOUT THE SPECIFICS AROUND
SIMPLER SEE STARS FOR OTHER
PARTS OF THE- PRESIDENT'S. THANK
YOU SO MUCH I MEAN HAVE A
QUESTION FOR YOU ABOUT. WHAT IT
TAKES FINANCIALLY TO BE ABLE TO
GET A PRIVATE PROJECT OFF THE
GROUND TO TOUCH HIM THEN THANK
YOU SO MUCH AND IT'S REALLY GOOD
TO SEE YOU THANKS FOR BEING
HERE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE'RE
GOING TO BRING IN HAYLEY CARTER
WITH THIS IS SHE'S A SENIOR SIGN
TOP SERVER THE OCEAN SCIENCE
TRUST HERE COMING TÍNH ON OUR
PANEL ALL HANDS ON DECK SEEKING
HELP IN CALIFORNIA. MRS CARTER
WE WELCOME YOU TO THE HEARING
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU
SENATOR REQUIRE IN COLLEAGUES
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONVERSATION
TODAY MY NAME IS HALEY CARTER
SENIOR SCIENCE OFFICER TO
OVERSEE. A QUICK REMINDER ABOUT
O. S. T. WE ARE NONPROFIT
DEDICATED TO CONVENING SCIENCE
EXPERTISE TO ACCELERATE PROGRESS
TOWARDS A HEALTHY EQUITABLE
OCEAN AND COAST WE WERE CREATED
BY THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO
BRING. TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN
SCIENCE FROM OUR UNIVERSITIES
AND INSTITUTIONS WITH FOUNDATION
POLICY AND MANAGEMENT. WE WORK
ON A PRIORITY OUR RANGE OF
ISSUES A PRIORITY TO CALIFORNIA
WHERE WE BRING TOGETHER. A
SCIENCE BASED CONVERSATIONS THAT
CAN HELP IDENTIFY A PATH FORWARD
WE'RE CURRENTLY NONE EXIST AND
OFFER SPACES FOR DIALOGUE.
REMOVING JURISDICTIONAL
BOUNDARIES. AND OF THE NEXUS
BETWEEN CAL PROSTRATION AND KELP
AQUACULTURE IS PARTICULARLY
RELEVANT. HIGHLIGHTED BY BOTH DR
GRAHAM AND DR HAMILTON EARLIER-
BUT OUR CURRENT POLICIES AND
MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKS AREN'T
REALLY NECESSARILY SET UP TO
RECOGNISE THAT DISTINCTION- AND
REFLECTING ON THE PERILS OF THE
PREVIOUS DRUG DISCUSSION EARLIER
TODAY. WE HAVE SIMILAR NEEDS FOR
COPPER COVERING FOR THESE
ECOSYSTEMS TO KEEP PACE WITH THE
MULTIPLE STRESSORS WILL NEED TO
CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO BOTH
SCALE UP AND SPEED RESTORATION
EFFORTS. AND ALSO REEVALUATE OUR
OLD POLICIES THERE'S ALSO AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SPUR SCIENCE
INNOVATION TO INFORM SOLUTIONS.
I WILL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE
TO THAT. MORE TRADITIONAL LOOK
AT. IS LARGELY FOCUSED ON
FARMING THIS FOR PRODUCTION. AND
A LOT OF OUR- AND POLICIES WERE
CREATED FOR A DIFFERENT TIME IN
PURPOSE- WE NEED TO BROADEN OUR
THINKING OF THE OCEAN IS NOT
JUST AFFECT ON BUT ALSO OFFERING
SOLUTIONS FOR EXAMPLE BE
EXPANDED THINKING ON THE ROLE OF
AQUACULTURE. THE NEW GROWING
BODY OF RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTED
HIGHLIGHTED BY OUR- DOCTOR
GRAHAM AND DR HAMILTON EARLIER-
THAT GROWING CERTAIN SPECIES
LIKE HELP IN THE RIGHT WAY IN
THE RIGHT PLACES CONSERVE AS A
TOOL TO HELP EIGHT SPECIES
RECOVERY IN BIODIVERSITY LOSS.
ADDRESS WATER QUALITY
DEGRADATION ENHANCE FISHERIES
PROVIDE MULTIPLE CLIMATE
BENEFITS FOR EXAMPLE BE AT THE
MUELLER RATIONS THE WATER CRAP
CHEMISTRY GROWING HELP ALONGSIDE
SHELLFISH. CONSEQUENCE FOR
CARBON- OR INCLUSION TO SEE WE
CAN PRODUCTS CAN ACTUALLY HELP
AVOID EMISSIONS OF CO TWO AND
OTHER GREENHOUSE GASES BIOFUELS
SOIL CONDITIONERS IN RUMINANTS
FOR CALIFORNIANS- HOWEVER THERE
ARE BARRIERS TO TESTING THESE
MULTI BENEFITS YOU READ FARMING-
FOR CONSERVATION RESTORATION AND
CLIMATE PURPOSES. CURRENTLY
MULTI BENEFIT CALL FARMING IS
PERMITTED. THROUGH THE SAME
CHANNELS COMMERCIAL WITH A
LENGTHY COSTLY ENDEAVOR AS MANY
YOU KNOW. AND THE STATE'S
EXISTING AQUACULTURE PROVIDING
STRUCTURE DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE
SALE OF PRODUCTS FROM
EXPERIMENTAL PROJECTS. SO THAT
KIND OF LIMITS ARE THE PUBLIC
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES- NEEDED FOR
RESEARCH AND INNOVATION. SO WE
HAVE OPPORTUNITY THIS YEAR
ENGAGE STAFF ACROSS THE NOT FOR
RESOURCE MEN. AGENCY WERE
RESPONSIBLE FOR AQUACULTURE
LEASING AND PERMITTING. FROM
THESE CONVERSATIONS WE SEE
SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO
ACCELERATE SCIENCE BASED
AQUACULTURE INNOVATION THAT CAN
SUPPORT BROADER RESTORATION
CONSERVATION AND CLIMATE GOALS.
FIRST IS BY CONSIDERING AN
EXPEDITED RESTORATION
CONSERVATION AQUACULTURE
PATHWAY. OR CREATING AN
EXPERIMENTAL COMMERCIAL PERMITS
FOR SEA WEED FARMING SO THERE
MIGHT BE VALUE IN EXPLORING
OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPEDITE OR
CREATE MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH
MULTI BENEFITS YOU WOULD
FARMING. TO HELP SPREAD AVIATION
FOR EXAMPLE ALLOWING GROWERS TO
THAT MORE EASILY ODDS HE WOULD
SPECIES TO EXISTING WE SERVICE
OR LONG COMMERCIAL SELF PRODUCT
FOR EXPERIMENTAL PROJECTS. THIS
COULD HELP ENABLE INDUSTRY
INNOVATION AND PUBLIC PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIPS HELP BUILD
INFRASTRUCTURE TEST MARKETS IN
AND USES AND ALSO ADVANCE
SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF
MULTI BENEFIT SEE. WE FARMING AS
YOU HEARD FROM DOCTOR GRAHAM
EARLIER. PARALOGS ALSO TO WAYS
TO INVEST IN A BILL COULD. IN
THE RELEVANT STATE AGENCIES WHO
OVERSEE AQUACULTURE LEASING AND
PERMITTING. CALIFORNIA'S
AQUACULTURE AGENCIES ARE ALREADY
UNDER RESOURCE SINCE MY CURRENT
MANDATES IN A PARTICULARLY IN
PARTICULAR WAS EXPANDED MANDATES
THERE'S A NEED FOR SUSTAINED
REVENUE STREAMS AND ADDITIONAL
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. THERE'S
ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAP INTO
AVAILABLE FEDERAL FUNDS AND
PARTNERSHIPS TO SUPPORT STATE
NEEDS. AND LASTLY IT'S IMPORTANT
TO HIGHLIGHT THE ANY EXPEDITED
SEE WE PATHWAYS SHOULD KEEP IN
MIND EQUITY IS A CO EQUAL GOAL
AND BE MINDFUL TO NOT CUT OFF
PUBLIC PROCESS. GUARDRAIL SHOULD
BE ESTABLISHED FOR THESE EFFORTS
FOR EXAMPLE FOR CALLING FOR
COLLABORATIVE INCLUSIVE PROCESS
SEES INCLUDING TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT
CONSULTATION COPRODUCTION AND
LOCAL COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AS
YOU HEARD FROM DOCTOR. SIR
HAMILTON SO IT WAS T. WE STAND
POSITION TO SUPPORT THE STATE
AND ADDRESSING THESE IMPORTANT
ISSUES AND THANK YOU FOR
LISTENING. THE CARD THANK YOU SO
MUCH AND COME BACK TO YOU ON A
QUICK QUESTION ON PERMITTING IN
JUST A MOMENT BUT BEFORE WE DO.
WE'RE GONNA TURN THE FLOOR OVER
TO JANE ACKERLEY. SHE IS THE
ACTING DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR
OCEANS AND COASTAL PATH A POLICY
WITH THE COMPANY NOW TO RESOURCE
AGENCY IN OF COURSE. D. EXEC THE
ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR
THE OCEAN PROTECTION. COUNCIL
SECONDLY WE WELCOME YOU. TO THE
HEARING THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
COMING BACK IT'S WONDERFUL TO
SEE YOU IN THE FLOOR IS YOURS
YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. WE'LL
GIVE YOU A THIRTY SECOND PROMPT.
THANK SO MUCH SO MCGUIRE AND I'M
SORRY YOU HAD TO SAY THAT VERY
LONG TIME. TO TIMES- I DO WANT
TO POINT OUT THAT THIS.
PERMANENT PHOTO AMAZING
BACKGROUND IS- IN YOUR DISTRICT
IT'S AN AMENITY NO CROWDS. SO
I'M REALLY. GRATEFUL TO BE HERE
TODAY THANK YOU TO YOUR CHAIR
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE-
I'M GOING TO. TALK ABOUT THE
WORK THAT THE STATE IS DOING. TO
ADDRESS CALPERS DECLINE AND
BUILD RESILIENCE FOR THIS
CRITICAL ECOSYSTEM THAT.
FUNDAMENTAL NOT ONLY TO OUR
MARINE BIODIVERSITY BUT ALSO TO
OUR OCEAN ECONOMY AND- DOCTOR
GRAHAM DID SUCH A- AN AMAZING
JOB TRAINING UP WITH THAT THE
ISSUE AND- AND- THAT THE CURRENT
LANDSCAPE SO I'M GOING TO. FOCUS
ON WHAT THE STATE HAS BEEN DOING
AND TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS. SO
WE'RE TAKING RESTORING
CALIFORNIA'S HEALTH BOARDS- IS A
TOP PRIORITY FOR THE STATE AND
THE OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL IN
VERY CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE.
IS OFF IS REALLY ON THE FRONT
LINES OF HELPING FIGHT TO SAVE
HELP. I'M IN TWO THOUSAND AND
NINETEEN OPC HAVE MADE
UNPRECEDENTED INVESTMENTS MORE
THAN THREE POINT FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. IN PILOT RESEARCH AND
RESTORATION PROJECTS TO MONITOR
KELP FOREST HEALTH. IMPROVE THE
UNDERSTANDING OF HELP LOS AND
PERSISTENT. UNTAPPED POTENTIAL
REST RESTORATION APPROACHES.
OBESITY AND THE DEPARTMENT
WORKED WITH COMMUNITY SCIENCE
ORGANIZATIONS TWO ANALYSTS IN
NORTH COAST COMMERCIAL
FISHERMEN. A COMMUNITY THAT HAS
EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC
HARDSHIP DUE TO THE CAL CRISIS.
TO REMOVE PURPLE URCHINS IN
SUPPORT OF CALPERS REGION AT TWO
SITES IN MENDOCINO COUNTY. THESE
FISHERMEN REMOVED FIFTY THOUSAND
POUNDS OF PURPLE URCHIN URCHIN
FROM THE TWO SIDES. AND LIMITED
BUT SIGNIFICANT HELP REGROWTH IS
DOCUMENTED AT. LEAST ONE OF THE
SITE I ONE OF THOSE SITES. THE
OCEAN PROTECTION IN THE CAL. SEA
I AM CAL C. GRANT. HAVE BEEN
PART. TO SUPPORT SUITE OF.
SOLUTION ORIENTED RESEARCH.
WHICH ARE GENERATING ACTIONABLE
RESULTS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE
BY MAY OF NEXT YEAR. THESE
PROJECTS INCLUDE PRODUCTION
OVER. OF A RESTORATION GUIDE
THAT WILL ENABLE REST RIGHT
RESOURCE MANAGERS TO CHOOSE
OPTIMAL LOCATIONS TIMES AND
METHODS FOR RESTORATION. WE CAN
MAXIMIZE OUR SIX THAT.
ASSESSMENT OF VARIOUS HELP

JUNE MEETING OF THIS YEAR THEY
APPROVED SIXTY AT SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS TO ENHANCE AND
MODERNIZE OUR APPROACH IS FOR

WILL DEVELOP PROACTIVE FIND IT
READY STRATEGIES FOR HELP
MANAGEMENT. THE WERE PARTNERING
TO DEVELOP A STATE WIDE
ECOSYSTEM BASED FISHERIES
MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR CAL WHICH WE
AFFECTIONATELY REFER TO AS THE
KEIRAN P. KEROPPI WILL PROVIDE
APPROACHES FOR MANAGING
PROTECTING AND RESTORING KELP
FORESTS IN THE FACE OF CHANGING

SPECIFICALLY IT WILL INCLUDE
THREE CORE COMPONENTS HARVEST A

ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH UNDER
WHICH EACH METHOD IS LIKELY TO
BE MOST EFFECTIVE. THOSE LATTER
TWO ELEMENTS ARE ENTIRELY NOVEL
TO DATE NO FISHERY MANAGEMENT
PLAN HAS ATTEMPTED TO
INCORPORATE THOSE COMPONENTS.
I'M AND THEN EARLIER THIS MONTH-
PC APPROVED ONE POINT TWO
MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING TO
INITIATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT
CARE AND HE WHICH INCLUDES
DEDICATED FUNDING FOR TRIBAL AND
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. AS WELL AS
FINES INTEGRATION. OPC OF THE
ARE CAÑADA TO A LEARN BY DOING
APPROACH TO THE CARE AND P. IT'S
A MULTI YEAR PROCESS AND IS THE
VERY BUT THE SEVERITY IN THE
IMMEDIACY OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
MEANS WE CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE BOLD
ACTION TO PROTECT AND RESTORE
KELP I THE CARE AND HE IS BEING
DEVELOPED. AND IN TURN BOTH THE
RESULT OF THOSE NO REGRETS
ACTIONS WILL HELP INFORM THE
CARE AND HE- I'M SINCE WE HAVE
BEEN TALKING A BIT ABOUT HOW OUR
CALVET ALSO CULTURE I JUST WANT
TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO TALK
ABOUT. THE STEPS THAT
CALIFORNIA'S TAKING TO PROMOTE
SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE THAT
MINIMIZES IMPACTS TO THE
ENVIRONMENT CULTURE WE'VE
RESOURCES AND WILD FISHERIES. TO
OBCS STRATEGIC PLANS INCLUDE THE
PRIORITY TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE
MARINE AQUACULTURE WHICH IS
FOCUSED ON ALGAE AND SHELLFISH
WITH IN MARINE WATERS AND ALGAE
SHELLFISH AND FINFISH ON LANDS.
AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THAT
THAT IS THE- AQUACULTURE
MINIMIZES IMPACTS TO HABITAT.
BIODIVERSITY AND WILD FISHERIES
THIRTY SECONDS SO. THANK YOU
LAST YEAR AND WE BEANS- AND
MULTI AGENCY GROUP OF AWFUL
CULTURE LEADERSHIP TEAM WE
ESTABLISHED AFFECT OF
AQUACULTURE PRINCIPLED. I REALLY
FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE BEST
AVAILABLE SCIENCE IMPROVING
GOVERNANCE AND MAKE AND
MANAGEMENT. AND ENSURING PUBLIC
HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY. AND
SINCE THOSE PRINCIPLES WERE
DEVELOPED- WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO
CREATE A STATEWIDE AQUACULTURE
ACTION PLAN THAT'S GOING TO
PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE FIND
SPACE AND CONSISTENT FRAMEWORK.
AND POLICY FOR GROWING
SUSTAINABLE MARINE AQUACULTURE
IN CALIFORNIA. AND WILL REALLY
PAVE THE WAY FOR SUCCESS IN THE
FUTURE SO WE ANTICIPATE
RELEASING A DRAFT ABOUT OCT
ACTION PLAN NEXT YEAR. AND WE
WILL INITIATE TRIBAL
CONSULTATION AND STAKEHOLDER
FEEDBACK TO INFORM THE FINAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
MISTAKENLY THINKING MUCH REALLY
GREAT FOR AND APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE HELP HE ARE ALL RIGHT
ON YOUR- KEEP EARLY ON DECK- AND
GRAHAM IN HAMILTON WE'RE GOING
TO GO TO THE QUESTION ON PURPLE
URCHIN. SO LOOK WE HAVE JUST
BEING HONEST ABOUT IT OVER THE
PAST TWENTY FOUR THIRTY SIX
MONTHS WE'VE BEEN INUNDATED WITH
FOLKS SAYING THAT- THE STATE
NEEDS TO DO MORE I UNDERSTAND
THAT THE STATE IS SEND SOME BUT
NEED TO DO MORE. ON THE ISSUE OF
PURPLE URCHIN WE HEAR MOSTLY.
FROM NORTHERN MENDOCINO FROM
ABOUT. HALF MOON BAY ALL THE WAY
UP TO HUMBOLDT BAY AND THAT'S
BEEN THE BULK OF OUR TRAFFIC
THAT COMES IN- UNDERSTANDING
THAT. WE HEARD ABOUT THE FIFTY
THOUSAND POUNDS TO MISTAKENLY
JUST MENTIONED- WHICH IS HUGE
BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE TO DO SO
TO- TO MR GRAMM MISS HAMILTON MR
CURLY. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE
STATE SHOULD BE DOING SHOULD BE
SEEN TO BE ABLE TO GET. THE KELP
FOREST RESTORATION KICKED INTO
HIGH GEAR DO WE NEED TO DEAL
WITH THE PURPLE URCHIN ISSUE
FIRST. AT THE TO GO TO DOCTOR
HAMILTON. ABOUT SIXTY SECONDS DR. YEAH THE MOMENT YOU THINK
THEY'RE TWO SCALES AT WHICH THE
- PROBLEM IS BEING DEALT WITH
ONE OF THEM IS WITH- LOCAL HUMAN
LED EFFORTS TO REMOVE THEM
WHETHER THROUGH SMASHING OR
REMOVING THEM FROM THE WATER.
BUT I THINK IF WE WANT TO BE
ABLE TO FILL THAT UP ONE OF OUR
BEST OPTIONS ARE GOING TO BE
GOING TO CREDIT. REUTERS YOU
KNOW HUMANS AREN'T MEANT TO BE
OUT THERE. REMOVING URCHINS WE
CAN ONLY IT TAKES A LOT OF
ORGANIZATION AND MONEY TO REMOVE
FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS. BUT SOME
LARGE STARS THE AUTHORS THEY'RE
OUT THERE ALL THE TIME. THINGS
TO EAT FARING AWAY URGENCY.
ETHIER CHANCE TO GET THEM TO
LEAVE THEIR HEALTHCARE SOMETIMES
JUST THE PRESENCE OF A SUNFLOWER
STAR. IS SCARY ENOUGH TO
VERSIONS THAT THE START MOVING
AWAY. AND SO IF I THINK IF WE
WANT TO SCALE UPS ARE. THE WAY
THAT WE DEAL WITH PURPLE URCHINS
AND TRY TO GET THAT FEEL OF THE
WAY THAT WE ARE. TRYING TO GET
BOTTLES POPULATIONS UNDER
CONTROL. I THINK BOB PROMOTING
INDUSTRIES THE- AROUND ME AND-
CHEN EXTRACTION MAKING A MARKET
FOR IT WILL BE IMPORTANT. I
THINK CONTINUING TO SUPPORT AND
SHE LED COALING RESTORATION
EVENTS. ON SMALL SCALES WILL BE
IMPORTANT AND THEN I THINK
GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT. RESTORING
AND SUPPORTING SUNFLOWER STARS.
I'M INTO THE WILD IN CALIFORNIA
AND THINKING ABOUT PLACES WHERE
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR
POPULATIONS. I THINK THOSE WOULD
BE OUR BEST OPPORTUNITIES YOU
ARE SO GOOD AT DOING THE RAPID
FIRE THANK YOU SO DR ELTON NINE
ALBEIT GO FOR ADDITIONAL SIXTY
SECONDS AND I'M NOT TRYING TO
PUSH YOU JUST. OF JUST BECAUSE
THE TIME I APOLOGIZE. TO THAT
RESULT IN THE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
GET. ENOUGH OF THE STARS OUT
THERE RIGHT I MEAN IT'S GOING TO
TAKE TIME. SO LET'S- IF YOU WERE
TO TAKE CARE UNDER PROMISE OVER
DELIVER APPROACH RIGHT. WHAT IS
THE REAL TIMELINE. THAT WE'RE
GOING TO GET BACK TO SOME SORT
OF NORMAL WITH MORE THAN
CALIFORNIA'S ICONIC KELP.
FORESTS IN THIS GO TO DOCTOR
GRAHAM. THE HAMILTON PLEASE. A
TIME TO GET BACK TO NORMAL I
THINK TO PAY. ON YOU KNOW FOR
TALKING. ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO ON
THE- STAR OPTION. UNDER ARE
CAPTIVE BREEDING PROGRAMS IN
WASHINGTON CURRENTLY THAT HAVE
BEEN- CREATED SPECIFICALLY WITH
THE INTENT OF EXPANDING I
THOUGHT TECHNOLOGY AND THOSE
METHODS. INTO OTHER STATES SO
THAT YOU CAN GET SOME OF OUR
STARS BACK OUT INTO THE WIND.
CURRENTLY THERE'S NO. VERY FEW
SIGNS ANYWHERE ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA THAT SIMPLER START
POPULATIONS ARE REBOUNDING ON
THEIR OWN. THEIR LONG LIVES A
SLOW GROWING SPECIES SO WE WANT
TO. GET THOSE POPULATIONS MOVE
BACK UP TO THE SEMI NORMAL
LEVELS THERE'S GONNA HAVE TO BE
CAPTIVE BREEDING. OR TRANSPLANTS
JEWISH AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE
HUMANS TO STEP. EIGHT DOCTOR AND
WITHIN OUR AGE WOULD YOU SAY.
WASHINGTON IN MY IGNORANCE AND I
APOLOGIZE IS WASHINGTON DID
WASHINGTON SEE SUCH A.
SIGNIFICANT COLLAPSE. CAN TO CAL
. AND ARE THEY- IS THERE AGAIN
BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME RIGHT
WE'RE DOING NATURE. DO YOU
BELIEVE THAT. ARE WE TAKE
TALKING TEN YEARS TO BE A TO GET
BACK TO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A
CRYSTAL BALL IN FRONT OF YOU
RIGHT NOW. BUT ARE WE TALKING
TEN YEARS WE TALKING FIVE YEARS
WHAT IS IT THE BEER TO GET BACK
TO HALF OF WHAT WE WANT SAW. I
KNOW THERE'S A LOT AGAIN CRYSTAL
BALL IN FRONT OF YOU AND I KNOW
YOU'RE ABOUT TO POKE YOUR EYE
OUT AND THAT WHAT I'M ASKING ACT
COLLEGE EYES BECAUSE IT GOES
AGAINST- YOU'RE AT YOU ALL THE-
THAT DOCTORAL TRAINING BUT- CAN
YOU GIVE US YOUR PREDICTION.
YEAH SO- OVERVIEW IS THAT FROM
THE LIST OF WASHING TENDS TO
THINK WHEN THEY OBEY ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO BAJA CALIFORNIA MEXICO.
SOMETIMES THE START POPULATIONS
WERE REDUCED BY ABOUT NINETY
NINE CENTS SO THERE WE CALL THEM
FUNCTIONALLY EXTINCT AT THIS
POINT. WHERE THE THINGS WERE
WORRIED ABOUT HIS THEIR
POPULATION NUMBERS IN THE WILD
ARE SO LOW THAT THEY MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO REPRODUCE ACTIVELY HI
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND. MAKES A
SO YES WASHINGTON AS HE REALLY
SEVERE DECLINES THAT'S WHEN THE
REASONS THEY STARTED INVESTING.
IN THE STOCK OUR STAR CAPTIVE
BREEDING. IF THOUGHT WE STARTED
. SOMETHING STAR REST. SERIOUSLY
WITH FIRST OF ALL ON WITH THAT
OVER- UNDER PROMISE OVER
DELIVER. I WOULD SAY IT WOULD
PROBABLY TAKE. FIVE YEARS TO
START GETTING THEM OUT INTO A
CUP FORESTS- IN ANY MEANINGFUL
WAY. AND ANOTHER TEND TO REALLY
LIKE TO TEND TO BEGIN TO SEE.
ABOUT MAKING. SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES FOR. FIRST SO I'VE
GOT TEND. YEARS IF WE START
MOVING TO. YEAH UNBELIEVABLE
REGARDS THE IMPACT IN IN- DOCTOR
HAMILTON- YOUR OVER UNDER. TO BE
ABLE TO LOOK AT A PILOT PROJECT-
TOTAL PRICE TAG IS WHAT OVER
FIVE YEARS. IT WHAT I WAS
TALKING ABOUT IS WHAT YOU'RE
DOING UP IN WASHINGTON. RIGHT IN
REGARDS TO THE CALPERS DURATION.
WHAT'S THE BUDGET FOR THAT
BALLPARK. I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW
THOSE NUMBERS OFF THE TOP OF MY
HEAD BUT IT IS ESSENTIALLY ONE
DUDE AND ONE LAB TECHNICIAN WITH
A BUNCH A LOT SPACE. SO THAT
CAPTIVE BREEDING THAT'S GOING ON
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT
HUGE INVESTMENTS AND THEY
FIGURED THEY DON'T OF THE HARD
WORK FIGURING OUT. METHODS FOR
RAISING THESE CRITTERS IN THE-
LAB. SO TO GET TO BRING PROGRAM
GOING I DON'T THINK IT'S A HUGE
INVESTMENT I THINK IT'S A FEW
JOBS AND SOME ADEQUATE LAB SPACE
AND ONE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA'S WONDERFUL-
WONDERFUL LAST SEVENTIES. I
THINK THAT WOULD BE A STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION YOU WOULD
PROBABLY WANT TO HAVE MULTIPLE
AFTER BREEDING CENTERS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA HE WANTED TO RESTORE
POPULATIONS BECAUSE WHY. BUT IN
THE MEANTIME PROBABLY NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA WOULD BE THE AREA
MOST IMPORTANT FOR NOW SINCE
THERE'S NO OTHER COMPETITORS IN
THAT AREA. CHANNEL TEN FROM.
DAVIS THANK YOU IN THE BEGINNING
A MARINE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON GETTING
THE EXACT BUDGET. DOCTOR GRAHAM.
YOUR COMMENTS AGAIN IN THE
BEGINNING FABULOUS SERVER- ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY. TO WHAT
DOCTOR HAMILTON JUST SO
ELOQUENTLY PROVIDED DR GRAHAM
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. YEAH I'LL
JUST START BY SAYING DR HAMILTON
IS BRILLIANT AND I WOULD PUT
MINE MONEY ON HER NUMBERS
ABSOLUTELY- MORE SO. BECAUSE I
THINK SHE'S REALLY NAILED THE
PRESIDENT THAT HISTORY IS SET
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA-
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN. DEBATED
WITH WATER REDUCTIONS WITH SHEEP
HAD REDUCTIONS WITH DISEASES.
AND IT'S A RESILIENT SYSTEM
MIGHT TEACH IT EVERY YEAR MY
MARINE ECOLOGY CLASS THE TIME
FRAME IS FIVE TO TEN YEARS IF WE
DO NOTHING WE START TO SEE
RECOVERIES- IF WE DO- FASTER
MORE AGGRESSIVE WORK. WE CAN SEE
LOCALIZED RECOVERIES EVEN
SOONER. SO I PERSONALLY AM NOT
WORRIED THAT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS IN A- CHRONIC
DOWNWARD PATH OF JUST SYNERGEN
PARENTS FROM CRESCENT CITY TO
SAN DIEGO. THERE IS A
RESILIENCY- AND I THINK HER TIME
FRAME IS RIGHT ON WHAT IS THE
UNKNOWN FACTOR IS THE CONSTANT
OPPRESSIVE OR SEEN OF CLIMATE
CHANGE WE'RE IN UNPRECEDENTED
TIMES. THE BLOB IS UNPRECEDENTED
THE STATEWIDE DISEASE FOR AT
LEAST THAT PARTICULAR GROUP WAS
ON PRESIDENT WE'VE SEEN IT
PREVIOUSLY LOCALLY WITH SEA
URCHINS. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO
GO AND I THINK THAT'S THE OVER
PROMISED. PART OF THIS HI I
JUST. STARKLY THE SYSTEM REBOUND
AND I THINK IT. THEY READ
LOCALLY YOU WILL SEE AREAS WHERE
PEOPLE GOT SAY WHY IS THERE SO
MUCH HYPE BECAUSE THE CONCOURSE
RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE LOOKS
GORGEOUS AND THEN. TEN CLIMBERS
AWAITS IS STILL DEVASTATED
PARENT AND I THINK THAT'S THE
HISTORY THAT CALIFORNIA PROVIDES
IT'S A DIFFERENT HISTORY THAN
OREGON WASHINGTON BRITISH
COLUMBIA AND ALASKA AND IT
CALIFORNIA'S GONNA. LEARN
ANYTHING IT'S TO REMIND
OURSELVES OF THE DYNAMIC SCHISM
UP OUR SYSTEM. IN IT SO DOCTOR
GRAHAM ON NET. WITH THE IMPACT
OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS. WHO KNOWS
RIGHT I MEAN THAT'S THAT THAT'S
THE WILD CARD ON THIS IS IF
WE'RE EVER GOING TO GET BACK TO
WHERE WE ONCE WERE. IN I DON'T
WANNA BE TOO DEPRESSING IN THIS
COMMENT BUT JUST LOOKING FOR
YOUR EXPERT OPINION. ARE WE
GONNA GET BACK TO WHAT WE'VE
ALWAYS HAD IN REGARDS TO- KELP
FORESTS- HERE IN NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
YOUR YOUR GUT NOW YOU'RE LOOKING
INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL. YEAH I'VE
BEEN DOING THIS FOR THIRTY YEARS
AND I'M WELL AWARE OF THE
HISTORY OVER THE LAST HUNDRED
YEARS IN CALIFORNIA IN OUR
SYSTEMS HAVE CHANGED. THEY
CHANGED THE CABLE YOU- WE WILL
HAVE TO HELP IT WHAT SOME WOULD
PERCEIVE AND NORMAL LEVEL- IN
REGARDS THE LAST FEW DECADES AT
ONE POINT ABSOLUTELY THE SPECIES
MIGHT DIFFER. WITH GLOBAL
WARMING WE MAY BE LOOKING AT
GIANT KELP MOVING UP THE COAST
AND AREAS THAT USED TO BE
DOMINATED BY BOKO- AND IT'S
GOING TO DO EXTREMELY WELL THERE
AT BUT THOSE WHO ARE ARE. THEIR
LIVELIHOOD IS BASED ON BOTH HELP
WILL DEFINITELY SEE A CHANGE- IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WE'RE GOING
TO START TO SEE OTHER ORGANISMS
COME IN HERE. BUT HISTORICALLY
AGAIN WE'VE SEEN THESE. NEEDS
HIS BILL BY DIFFERENT SPECIES SO
I'M NOT LOOKING AT. STATE WHITE
. YOU KNOW DO YOU FOR. AT THE
LEVEL THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY
HELP IN THE SYSTEM IT WILL BE
DIFFERENT THOUGH- AND I THINK
MORE IMPORTANTLY RIGHT NOW IS.
IS THAT YOU KNOW THE STATE IS
STARTING TO LOOK AT THINGS LIKE
CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND
POTENTIALLY BREEDING- AND I. YOU
KNOW THE LAST POINT WAS AS I'D
LOVE TO COMMENT. ABOUT
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY COMMERCIAL
CUP INDUSTRY AND POTENTIALLY
EASING THE PRESSURE ON THAT. I
USED TO JOKE THAT YOU KNOW WE'VE
HAD A POLICY OF BASICALLY
RESTRAIN THE DOGS WITH THE
COMMERCIAL CAP INDUSTRY WHEN
THESE ARE THAT. THE GROUPS THAT
HAVE THE EXPERTISE AND I THINK
WE SHOULD MOVE TO. A PHILOSOPHY
OF RELEASED THE CRACK AND LET
THESE EXPERTS PUT. THEIR BRAINS
ON THIS PROBLEM AND HELP TO
RESTORE. THIS SYSTEM OR AT LEAST
PROVIDE THE EXPERTISE LIKE WE'VE
DONE WITH A LOT OF OUR TRUST
REAL SYSTEMS. THANK YOU SO MUCH
DATAGRAM ABOVE YOU IN DOCTOR
HAMILTON JUST FABULOUS TODAY AND
REALLY GRATEFUL AND- WE WERE
GOOGLING SHEPHERD FISH- WHEN YOU
TALKED ABOUT IT AND I DO NOT
WANT TO GET MY FINGER NEAR ONE
OF THOSE- THEY LOOK PRETTY SCARY
SO- THANK YOU SO MUCH- DOCTOR
GRAHAM AND AGAIN. A DOCTOR
HILTON I WANT TO GO QUICKLY TO
MISS CARTER MISS CARTER. DID
MANAGE. YOU HAD MENTIONED MAYBE
WHAT WE CAN DO AND I'M THESE ARE
MY WORDS- THIS CARTER IS. A NAY
INTO A- PREVIOUS. ISSUED
AQUACULTURE PERMIT FOR EXAMPLE
SEE READER CAL- WHAT'S THE
DEMAND OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ON
THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. IF THE
STATE WERE TO LOOK AT SOME TYPE
OF. I'M JUST GONNA SAY IN EASING
WHILE WE ARE IN SUCH A CRISIS-
AND PUT A TIME LIMIT TIME LIMIT
ON IT A SUNSET. DO YOU THINK
FOLKS WHO TAKE IT UP. YEAH GOOD
QUESTION- SO I MEAN WE HEARD
FROM- ONE INDUSTRY MEMBER OF
THAT YOU KNOW HE CAN MAKE MORE.
MONEY BY GROWING SHELLFISH THEN
YOU CANNOT THE SIMILAR YOU KNOW
IF YOU USE THE SAME AREA FOR
GROWING KELP SITE. I THINK THE
DEMAND IS REALLY DRIVEN IT SEEMS
TO BE A LOT BY THE NGO CROWD THE
NEED FIRST CLIMATE SOLUTIONS AND
INNOVATION- SO I THINK THERE'S
YOU KNOW OPPORTUNITIES TO DIRECT
THOSE FUNDS TOWARDS YOU KNOW
STATE NEEDS FIRST RESTORATION
TOWARDS CONSERVATION
AQUACULTURE. AND SORT OF BUILD
THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE NEED-
IN AUCKLAND INDUSTRY DOES SORT
OF HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TEST OF
SOLUTIONS AND ALSO PROCESS
KHALFAN YOU KNOW DRIVE. A NEW
MARKET FOR THEM ON ON PLAN TO
SORT OF JUST AS I WAS SAYING FOR
DISPLAY SOME OF THOSE CARBON
RICH. ACTIVITIES SO I THINK
THERE- THERE'S A NEED TO OPEN UP
SPACE TO TEST THOSE TYPES OF
MARKET SO I THINK YEAH THERE'S
DEFINITELY A ROLE ROLE FOR THAT.
ALL RIGHT MISS CARTER THANK YOU
SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
SO MUCH TO. MISS ECKERSLEY WANT

GREAT THANK YOU CENTER REQUIRE
MEMBERS OF THE CANADIAN
CORRECTION IN RAIN REGION
MANAGER WITH THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT SOCIAL WILDLIFE. I'M
ALSO GOING TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT
OF THANKS TO TIM SCULLY- TEN
YOU'VE GOT. VERY BIG SHOES TO
FILL YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB SO
KEEP IT UP. I'M GONNA GIVE A
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF LAST SEASON-
WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THIS COMING
SEASON IS BRIEF UPDATES ON THE
CONSERVATION PLAN. ALSO LAST
YEAR FOR THE TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO SEASON I WE DID NOT HAVE ANY
QUALITY OR TOMORROW GAS DELAYS.
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE
RESTRICTED THE USE OF TRAPS OF
THE RECREATIONAL FISHERY DUE TO
ELEVATED TANGLE AT RISK. AND
THAT HISTORY WAS RESTRICTED
THROUGH MID DECEMBER. WITH AN
APPLIED A SWEEP OF THE
MANAGEMENT TOOLS IN OUR TOOLBOX
AS WE OPEN THE COMMERCIAL
FISHERY. SAYS ON FIVE AND SIX
OPEN ON TIME UNDER A FLEET
ADVISORY. SO ON WHICH ONE INTO
OPEN ON DECEMBER FIRST ON TIME
UNDER FLEET ADVISORY. ZONE FOR
OPEN ON DECEMBER SIXTEENTH UNDER
FORTY FATHOM DEPTH CONSTRAINTS
WHICH WAS LIFTED ON DECEMBER
TWENTY SIX. AND SO THREE OPENED
ON DECEMBER TWENTY NINTH WITH
THE PRESET. BEGINNING ON
DECEMBER TWENTY SIX. IN LATE
MARCH AFTER FOR COME BACK WHEELS
WERE TANGLED. INTO CRAP YOUR TO
AN UNKNOWN YEAR. WE PROCEEDED TO
CLOSE THE FISHERY. SAYS US THREE
THREE SIX FOR CLOSE ON APRIL
EIGHTH. JONES ONE AND TWO WERE
CLOSE ON APRIL TWENTIETH. AND
ALL RECREATIONAL CRAB TRAPS WERE
RESTRICTED STATEWIDE ON APRIL
TWENTY FOURTH. DESPITE THE
TRUNCATED SEASON AS DIRECTOR
BONTA MENTIONED. ON THE FLEET
DID QUITE WELL THEY BROUGHT IN-
STRUCK FIFTY THREE AND A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS AND THAT IS THE
SECOND HIGHEST. IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS I'M NOTABLY THERE WAS
LOWER VOLUME THAT'S IN PREVIOUS
YEARS BUT THEY HAD BETTER PRICE
PER POUND. SO THEY WERE CATCHING
FEWER CRAPPIE GET PAID MORE FOR
THAT WHICH IS SOMETHING WE LIKE
TO SEE. OF MOVING INTO THIS
COMING YEAR. DATA COLLECTION IS
CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS BY THE
DEPARTMENT AND I MANY
COLLABORATORS AS DIRECTOR BOTTOM
MENTIONED WE HAD THE PLANE UP IN
THE AIR YESTERDAY- NOT
SURPRISINGLY WE SAW A LOT OF
WELLS- THEY'RE- EXPECTED TO BE
HERE THIS TIME OF YEAR WE EXPECT
THEY WILL BE HERE FOR ANOTHER
SIX OR SO WEEKS- WE ARE SEEING A
LOT OF FORD'S LIKELY ANCHOVIES
THAT ARE WIDELY DISPERSED IN THE
AREA THEY SAW THEM ON THE PLANE
YESTERDAY- SO THE- SLIGHTLY THE
WHEELS WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL
THEIR FOOD LEAVES AND SO IT'S
REALLY UP TO THEM WHEN THEY'RE
GONNA LEAVE. AYE WE'RE GOING UP
AGAIN IN THE AIR TOMORROW TO
SERVICE CENTRAL ZONE. THE FIRST
RISK ASSESSMENT IS SCHEDULED TO
OCCUR ON OR AROUND OCTOBER
TWENTY EIGHTH. THIS WILL INFORM
THE OPENING OF THE RECREATIONAL
DENTURES CRAFTED STREET THAT'S
SCHEDULED TO OPEN ON NOVEMBER
FIFTH. AND THE OPENING OF ZIP
FISHING ZONES THREE THROUGH SIX
THAT'S SCHEDULED TO OPEN ON
NOVEMBER FIFTEENTH. WILL THEY
CONDUCT ASSESSMENTS ON ROUGHLY
TWO WEEK INTERVALS. TO INFORM
THE REST OF THE OPENINGS. WE
EXPECTING INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY
TEN OR MORE RISK ASSESSMENTS
OVER THE COURSE OF THE SEASON-
AND LEARNING FROM LAST SEASON.
WE'RE GONNA BE TAKING A BI
WEEKLY APPROACH TO ADD SOME
CERTAINTY TO. THE FLEET. THE
STAKEHOLDERS OUR STAFF- AND IT'S
GOING TO BE ON THE FIRST OR
FIFTEENTH SCHEDULE THAT EVERYONE
SEEMS TO APPRECIATE. HOPEFULLY
THAT WILL WORK OUT WELL. DEMOTE
GAS IT AGAIN AS- MENTIONED WE'VE
GOT TO SO FAR SO GOOD KEEPING MY
FINGERS CROSSED LIKE WE'RE
PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERY
YEAR WHEN WE GET THESE- RESULTS
CONTINUE TO COMING CLEAN IN
JUST. WITHIN THE LAST HALF HALF
HOUR WE RECEIVED RESULTS. FROM
NUMBER DIG ADEQUATE RESTROOMS
CDPH IN THOSE CAME AND CLEANED
SO FAR SO GOOD WE'VE GOT A FEW
MORE SITES TO GO. UP TO HAVE
THAT WRAPPED UP THIS WEEK- ALSO
THERE WAS A LIMITED SAMPLING IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS WAS
DUE. TO THE STRAIN IS A MARINE
MAMMALS IN SANTA BARBARA AND
VENTURA COUNTIES DUE TO DEMOTE
CASKET. SO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
CITY PH IN THE LOBSTER FLEET WE
TESTED LOBSTERS AND CRABS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN ALL OF
THOSE SAMPLES WERE BELOW TO MY
CAST ALERT LEVELS- WE WILL BE
STARTING THE FIRST ROUND OF
QUALITY TESTING PRETENTIOUS
CRAP. TO OCCUR AT AROUND THE END
OF OCTOBER BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER
AND THAT WILL BE DEPENDENT ON
PROCESSOR AVAILABILITY SO THOSE
ARE THAT. THE THREE HORSEMEN OF
THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF PROP
POPULOUS CRAB APOCALYPSE LAST
WHEN THIS PROCESS. AND WE'RE
WORKING THROUGH THAT. ARRAY TWO
POINT NO. SO THE PUBLIC NOTICE
FOR THE RAM REGULATE WORK IN.
TWENTY TWENTY THREE THE DRAFT
CONCEPTS FOR THOSE UPDATES WILL
BE SHARED WITH THE WORKING GROUP
AND THE JUDGES CRAP TASK FORCE
PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC NOTICE FOR
EARLY INPUT. OPPORTUNITIES AT
FEEDBACK. I'M MOVING ON TO THE
CONSERVATION PLAN WE HAVE
SEVERAL CONSULTATIONS SCHEDULED
WITH NATURAL FISHERY SERVICE
THIS FALL. TO DISCUSS REVISED
TAKE ALLOWANCES RECEIVE THE
LATEST STOCK ASSESSMENTS. AND
CONTINUE TO REFINE HOW WE TREAT
I KNOW ANY CHANNEL AS WE KNOW
THAT IS THAT ISSUE OF GREAT
CONCERN TO THE FLEET. ALONE WE
HAVE DISCUSSED THAT WITH NAMES
ARE CONTINUING TO DISCUSS HOW WE
DEAL WITH THE SENATE INTEGUMENT.
WITH NAMES AS WE MOVE FORWARD
WITH THE CONSERVATION PLAN. OUR
GOAL IS TO GET THAT WRAPPED UP
IN SUBMIT THE CONSERVATION PLAN
AND THE INSULIN INCIDENTAL TAKE
PERMIT APPLICATION. IN THE FIRST
QUARTER OF TWENTY TWENTY THREE.
IT'S EXPECTED THAT NEEDS WILL
REQUIRE AT LEAST TWO YEARS TO
REVIEW THE CONSERVATION PLAN AND
COMPLETE THE NEEDS ANALYSIS.
BEFORE AN I. T. P. IS ISSUED. I
BRIEFLY ON ALTERNATIVE GEAR THE
DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO
ENCOURAGE THE FLEET TO GET
INVOLVED IN WORK TO INFORM
ALTERNATIVE YOUR DEVELOPMENTS.
WITH THIS IN MIND WE CO HOSTED
ALTERNATIVE YOUR WORKSHOP WITH
THE NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY
FOUNDATION IN LATE AUGUST. TO
BRING YEAR INNOVATORS AND
FISHMAN TOGETHER TO DISCUSS YOUR
TECHNOLOGY AND BUILD CONNECTIONS
FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
TESTING. PROXY TWENTY FISHERMEN
AND EIGHT INNOVATORS ATTENDED
THE ALL DAY EVENT. I'M JUST
RECENTLY THE DEPARTMENT HAS
RECEIVED TWO APPLICATIONS TO
TEST ALTERNATIVE GEAR UNDER OUR
EXPERIMENTAL FISHING PERMITS
PROGRAM. WE'RE CURRENTLY
REVIEWING THOSE APPLICATIONS AND
IF APPROVED MAIL OUT FOR FISHING
OR TESTING THIS SPRING WHEN THE
FISHERY MAY OTHERWISE BE CLOSED
. WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH
OUR COLLEAGUES IT THROUGH THE
TRI STATE AGREEMENT IN OREGON
AND WASHINGTON ON A STANDARDIZED
WEST COAST LINE MARKING PROGRAM.
AND THEN FINALLY I WOULD BE
REMISS IF I DO NOT THINK YOU
CENTER REQUIRE YOUR COLLEAGUES
IN THE LEGISLATURE. AND GOVERNOR
NEWSOM FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO
SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE WELL STATE
FISHERIES. AS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED WE RECEIVE NEW
RESOURCES INCLUDING TWO FULL
TIME POSITIONS TO DEVELOP AND
IMPLEMENT THE ADMINSTRATION
PROGRAM ADDRESS VAT. AND FUNDING
FOR THREE LIMITED TERM POSITIONS
TO SUPPORT THE RISK ASSESSMENT
PROGRAM AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE CONSERVATION PLAN. IN
ADDITION TO THE PLAN THAT WAS
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SO THANK
YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH
SO IT MISTER HUMAN IN YOUR
CRYSTAL BALL. S. THE BUTTER IS
WARMING RIGHT NOW- DEMO CASSIDY
IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD COMPARED
TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN. THE BIGGEST
QUESTION RIGHT NOW WHAT WE HAVE.
FOR THE COMMERCIAL DUNGENESS
CRAB SEASON IS THE PRESENCE OF
WALES SO THAT BE ACCURATE
ASSESSMENT. OF ANY POTENTIAL
DELAYS I KNOW THAT ANYTHING
DEMOCRATS IT COULD POP BACK UP
BUT- AT THIS POINT. IT WOULD BE
THE PRESENCE OF WHALES THAT
COULD POTENTIALLY DELAY SEASON.
IF FOOD STOCK IS HERE AND THEY
DON'T MOVE ON I WANT TOWARDS
YOUR MOUTH MISTER HUMAN. YEAH
THAT THAT'S CORRECT IT'S THE
WHALES THE SITE IS NOT TRYING TO
EVEN THEIR STICK AROUND THEN WE
WILL LIKELY HAVE TO DELAY THE
SEASON. AND WE ALSO ARE SUBJECT
TO THE QUALITY TESTING AS
OUTLINED IN FISHING GAME CODE- I
HAVEN'T HEARD ANY REPORTS ON
WHAT WE EXPECT QUALITY TO BE WE
PROBABLY WON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL
WE START GETTING THOSE FOR
SAMPLES BACK. THE END OF THE
MONTH. AND A PERCENT THANK YOU
SO MUCH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE. A
GREAT HUMAN HANG WITH US HERE
FOR A BIT FOR QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS THANK YOU SO MUCH. FOR
NOW HONORED TO BE ABLE TO
INTRODUCE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
COASTAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM.
THAT'S DR CLARISSA ANDERSON DR
ANDERSON IS BACK WITH US USING
THE PROVIDING AN UPDATE. ON THE
STATE OF THE SCIENCE FOR
PREDICTING HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS
YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT DEMO
GAS IT TODAY. AND I GOTTA TELL
YOU. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT WHEN
DOCTOR AND SAYS WITH THIS SHE'S
ABLE TO BREAK IT DOWN SO THAT
EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND IT- AND
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A- DOCTOR
ANDERSON I DON'T WANT TO.
BELITTLE THE REPORT BUT IT'S
ALMOST A WEEK A WEATHER REPORT
IF YOU WILL ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT
FOR ALGAL BLOOMS AND IMOKE ACID.
AS WE MOVE FORWARD FOR THE
CALIFORNIA WESTERN COAST. IN DR
INNOCENT. YOU'RE THE BEST I MEAN
REALLY YOU AT THE BEST OF THE
BEST HERE. I OR THE GRATEFUL
YOU'RE WITH US SHE'S GOING TO BE
GIVEN THIS- THAT ALGAL BLOOM
REPORT IN HER OUTLOOK. AT THE
FLOOR IS YOURS YOU HAVE FIVE
MINUTES WE'LL GIVE YOU THIRTY
SECOND PROMPT. THANK YOU I'M
GOING. SHARE MAYES. NOW PLEASE
LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE NOT SEEN
WHAT WE ARE SEEN AS- BEING AN
ALL RIGHT FANTASTIC- I WILL
MUDDLE THROUGH I HAVE TO REPORT
I HAVE CODED. AS SCIENCE OF
SORRY TO DO THIS I APOLOGIZE. I
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IF IT
STARTS TO SNOW COOKIES BECAUSE
I'M HIGHLY DRUGS. YOU'RE GREAT
YOU'RE GREAT- LAST TIME I
REPORTED- I STARTED OUT WITH THE
SLIDE LIKE THIS- I THOUGHT I'D
START HERE AGAIN JUST WITH.
WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE LEFT.
WHERE WE'VE BEEN HEADING IN THE
RIGHT IN TERMS OF MODELING AND
OBSERVING- AND SINCE LAST YEAR
WE HAVE MANAGED TO ADD. AT LEAST
ONE- COMPACT CAPABILITY AND
THAT'S THE ROBOTIC MICROSCOPES
WHICH ARE REALLY GRATEFUL TO THE
OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL FOR
FUNDING. ARE NOW PRETTY MUCH
FULLY OPERATIONAL THROUGHOUT THE
STATE WHICH IS REALLY FANTASTIC
DEVELOPMENT I'LL TALK A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE-
JUST REMIND EVERYONE YOU KNOW
WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS IN
THE SPACE. OF THE MONITORING
WHICH IS PART OF THIS HAVE NOT
PROGRAM A NEW MANY OF YOU ARE ON
OUR LIST SERVE YOU KNOW ABOUT
THE WEEKLY UPDATES AND WHAT
SPECIES. ARE BLOOMING AND WHAT
THE TOXINS GENERALLY LOOK LIKE
IN THE WATER- BUT THIS HASN'T
ALWAYS GIVEN US THE FOR WARNINGS
THAT WE NEED- SO AS WE HAVE.
MERGED SALON- WE'VE TALKED A LOT
ABOUT SEE HARM THIS WAS
DEVELOPED OVER REALLY LIKE A
TWENTY YEAR PERIOD. IT'S NOW AN
OPERATIONAL MODEL AND NO COAST
WATCH- IT PUTS OUT THIS KIND OF
WEATHER LIKE MAP IT'S THAT DEMO
GAS RISKS. IT'S UNLIKE A LOT OF
HAVE MODELS OR MODELS OF HARMFUL
ALGAL BLOOMS THEY TEND TO FOCUS
MORE ON HIGH CHLOROPHYLL. OR
LET'S SAY THE SPECIES OF
INTEREST BUT THIS ONE REALLY
GETS TO TOXINS WHICH WE KNOW. IS
THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION FOR
CALIFORNIA- I'M SHOWING YOU HERE
JUST A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT THAT
MODEL LOOKS LIKE- BACK IN
SEPTEMBER- I HAVE THE CROWD
PUBLICATIONS OVER LEAD TO
SOMETHING THAT'S IN OUR DATA
POINT I'LL JUST FROM TWENTY
NINETEEN THIS IS BY NO MEANS
FULLY REPRESENTATIONAL. I JUST
WANTED TO GIVE US A SENSE OF
WHAT. THE KIND OF OUTLOOK OR
HIGH RISK FOR DEMO GAS IN
SEPTEMBER WAS. RELATIVE TO WHERE
CRAB POTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE AND
NOW THIS MODEL. WE'VE BEEN
DEVELOPING IT FOR YEARS BUT IT
RELIES HEAVILY ON A WHOLE LOT OF
ASSETS CIRCULATION MODELS NASA
IMAGERY. HIGH FREQUENCY RADAR
WHICH IS A MASSIVE. CALIFORNIA
INVESTMENT GOES BACK THE TWO
THOUSAND FOUR COS. AND WERE.
REALLY HARD TO THE STATE NOW TO
RECAP. THAT INVESTMENT BECAUSE
IT MAKES THESE MODELS HIGHLY
ACCURATE. THIS IS THE HARMFUL
ALGAL BLOOM BULLETIN THAT WE PUT
OUT MONTHLY IT'S NOT A CRYSTAL
BALL IT GOES BACK IN TIME. AND
SAYS WHAT HAPPENED LAST MONTH.
WHAT IS C. PH C. WHAT DID THE
ACADEMIC SEE- WHAT DID THE MODEL
SHOW. AND THEN WHAT DID THE
STRANDING DATA AND THE FISHERIES
CLOSURES LOOK LIKE AND- AND I
PERSONALLY TRY TO PUT ALL OF
THIS INTO CONTEXT FOR USERS.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALWAYS ALL
MATCH UP AND I KNOW YOU CAN
APPRECIATE THAT COMPLEXITY. WHAT
HAPPENS IT SURE IS NOT ALWAYS
WHAT HAPPENS OFF SURE. IT'S
CETERA- AND THIS IS A PUBLIC
WILL SERVE ANYONE CAN JOIN IT I
BY ALL MEANS ENCOURAGE EVERYONE
IN THIS AUDIENCE TO- TO GO TO
OUR WEBSITE ENJOYING A LIST
SERVE. NOW THOSE ROBOTIC
MICROSCOPES THEY HAVE BEEN A
REALLY GREAT ASSET WE HAVE THEM
RIGHT NOW. ALL OF THE STATIONS
YOU'RE SEEING HERE- GENERALLY
WORKING IN REAL TIME. THEY WILL
CATCH WHAT'S HAPPENING YOU'RE
SURE WE HAVE TO OFFSHORE BUOYS
WITH THESE REAL TIME ROBOTIC
MICROSCOPES TELLING US EVERY
THIRTY MINUTES WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN THE PLANKTON. WE'RE TRYING TO
MAKE REPORTS FOR CITY PH CITY OF
W. KELLY PA AND THE PUBLIC-
AGAIN THIS IS OPC SUPPORT THAT
REALLY PUT THIS IN PLACE. BUT
IT'S NOT GOING TO CATCH
EVERYTHING AND I THINK THIS IS
THERE'S AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
HERE WELL THIS IS GOING TO BE AN
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT ASSET FOR
CATCHING BLOOMS NEAR SHORE. AND
EVEN SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE THAT
ARE- GOING TO START OFF SHORE.
WE DON'T HAVE OFFSHORE BUOYS
EVERYWHERE WITH EASE AND DURING
THE BLUE THAT WE SAW FROM AUGUST
TO SEPTEMBER. WHICH LED TO MANY
HUNDREDS OF MARINE MAMMALS
STRANDING AND DYING AS A RESULT
OF THE MOST ACID POISONING. THE
MODELS ARE YOU. LOOKING THE
MODEL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN
SEE VERY WELL BUT STARTING IN
MID AUGUST WE CAN SEE IT IN THE-
YES ABSOLUTELY. STARTING IN MID
AUGUST YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT
REALLY LIGHT UP JUST IN THE
SEPTEMBER AND BEEN TRUE AREA.
AND IT SORT OF PROCESS THERE FOR
QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE SPREADING
NORTH AND SOUTH WHICH IS REALLY
WHAT WE SAW WITH THE MAMMAL
STRANDINGS. SO IT WAS CAPTURING
NOT REALLY WELL OUR MICROSCOPES
WERE CAPTURING IT IN OUR IN OUR
WEEKLY MONITORING WASN'T SEEING
IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO STUDENT
SHE- APPEARS. THIS REALLY WAS AN
OFFSHORE EVENTS. WE WERE ABLE TO
GET SOME- PENDING SALUTE THE
TRACE TRACK THAT AND GO OFFSHORE
AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. ON
SOME OF THAT RESPONSE MONEY FROM
NO AND WE'RE SEEING A FEW
INTERESTING THINGS ARE ONE OF
THOSE ROBOTIC MICROSCOPES ON A
CAL COPY CREWS THAT WAS
OFFSHORE. THIS CHOCOLATE THOSE
SPINDLY LITTLE ICONS THAT
SIGNATURE- I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO
LOOK. DEEPLY AT THIS SPOT BUT
THE POINT IS THAT WHEN WE- WHEN
WE LOOKED AT HER LIKE ASSET ON A
COUPLE OF REASONS IN SANTA
BARBARA. AND WE WERE DOING SUB
SURFACE SAMPLING. THAT WAS WHEN
WE. SAW THE HIGHEST MILLIGAUSS
IT WAS WRITTEN OFF SURE.
SUBSTRATE WHICH IS CHRISTMAS.
WERE IT UP. AND SAID THIS WAS
BEEN REALLY. BUT IT. TELL US
WHICH HAVE IN THE BAY THOSE- AND
IT MAY IT HARD FOR ME TO LOOK
INTO MY CRYSTAL BALL BUT IF I
HAVE TO- WHAT I WOULD SAY IS ALL
THE MODELING HAS NOT PICKED UP
EVENTS. IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
AS YOUR SAMPLING HAS SHOWN THAT
THE DUNGENESS CRAB. BUT WE SEEN
A PERSON LISTED FIVE WEEK EVENT
IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. CENTRAL
CHANNEL CHANNEL MAINLY SO. YOU
KNOW IF I HAD TO GUESS I'D SAY
THAT THAT'S WITH THE BENTHIC
HABITATS GOING TO BE MOSTLY
AFFECTED- IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR.
FROM CREEK THAT THE SAMPLES
LATELY HAVE NOT SHOWN ANYTHING
THERE. BUT AS WE HAVE KNOWN FROM
PAST EXPERIENCES TWENTY FIFTEEN.
THAT SETTLING OUT INTO THE BUT
THOSE CAN TAKE SOME TIME AND
THERE MAY BE A LAG. AND SO IF
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANYTHING
HAPPENING- WITH THAT THE
CRITTERS I WOULD EXPECT IT. TO
BE THERE AND HOPEFULLY I'M NOT
IN THE NORTH COAST. AND STILL
SOLID THERE. THANK WE ARE SO
APPRECIATIVE THAT YOU'RE- US
TODAY IF YOU CAN. I KNOW WE'RE
GONNA HAVE SOME QUESTIONS IF YOU
ARE IF YOU NEEDED A JOB. ADJOURN
TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AS WELL. SO
NO WORRIES ON THAT BUT AGAIN
DOCTOR ANDERSON. YOU DO SUCH AN
AMAZING JOB REALLY GRATEFUL AND-
SHE EVEN BROUGHT THE CRYSTAL
BALL- HALLOWEEN STYLE IN THAT
SIDE SO- GOOD STUFF. THANK YOU
SO MUCH DOCTOR ANDERSON UP FOR
THAT. LAYS IN GERMAN WE'RE GONNA
BE MOVING FORWARD TO TURN IT
OVER TO RELIGION. A LEGENDARY
FISHERMAN HIS NAME IS DICK AUG.
HE'S BACK WITH US AT THE
COMMITTEE HE'S GOING TO BE
SPEAKING ABOUT THE PROACTIVE
INVOLVEMENT WITH THE WORKING
GROUP. AND WHAT THE FLEET HAS
BEEN DOING TO ENSURE. SAFETY OF
WHALES OFF OF THE CALIFORNIA
COAST HE'S ALSO GONNA BE
TOUCHING BASE WITH US. ABOUT
GEAR INNOVATIONS IN THE TESTS
THAT ARE BEING CONDUCTED BY
FISHERMEN- THROB WE'RE REALLY
APPRECIATIVE THAT YOU WOULD TAKE
THE TIME IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE
YOU I'M SORRY. THAT WE'RE NOT IN
PERSON HERE TODAY WE LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON NO
SIR THE FLOOR IS YOURS YOU HAVE
FIVE MINUTES WILL GIVE YOU A
THIRTY SECOND PROMPT. THANK YOU
SOONER. I SINCE FOR YOUR- IN
REALLY MONITOR YOU. SPEAKS ALL
GET READY IN THE- ON. SO
ALTHOUGH WE NEED- ARE
CONSISTENTLY PLACE TO THE BAD
NEWS THAT THE JUDGES CRAMPED.
STAGE OF SLEEP INTERACTIONAL
MARINE MAMMALS I'D LIKE TO TAKE
A MOMENT. THREE CLICK ON IT AND
THE GOOD THINGS THE FLEET IS
DONE MOSTLY ON ITS OWN TO
MINIMIZE THAT INTERACTION. WE'VE
BEEN VERY ACTIVE. IN THE
REDUCTION OF LOS GRAB YOUR BY
FOCUSING ON YOUR RECOVERY. AS
SOON AS IT'S ALLOWED. SOMETHING
WE'VE ALWAYS DONE BUT WE FOCUS
MORE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND
HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL.
IN ADDITION WOULD TAKE BEFORE
LINE SCOPE. CREEP THE DISTANCES
BETWEEN AND REDUCE THE NUMBER
OF- SHOES. WE MADE THAT THAT.
FROM SAID AGERO THE REST. OF THE
INTERACTIONS AT ITS LOWEST.
WHICH HAS IN FACT SHORTEN THEIR
SEASON AND IMPACTED OUR INCOME.
AND WE AND THEN IN ADDITION TO
THAT IT SAID SIGNIFICANT
ECONOMIC AND SOCIOLOGICAL
RESULTS. WE GONNA NEUTRAL LYING
WOULD REMOVE LINE LEADS IT WOULD
HELP CREATE THE BEST PRACTICES
GUIDE. MOST OF THE SHOULD BEEN
DONE PRIMARILY BY THE FLEET BUT
WITH THE SUPPORT IN THE AND
DIRECTION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE. AS A RESULT
THE POPULATION OF THE OF THE
HUMPBACK WHALES IS REBOUNDED SO
SIGNIFICANTLY NOW. THAT ON A
DAILY BASIS WE ENCOUNTER LARGE
NUMBERS OF HUMPBACK WHALES
PRETTY CONSISTENTLY. ONE MORE ON
THE WATER. IS THIS TRULY OKAY
INYO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A WIN
FOR ALL PARTIES CONCERNED.
CONCERNED. THIS BRINGS ME TO
WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO FOCUS ON
AND THAT'S THE EXPERIMENTAL
FISHING FOR A PERMIT PROCESS OR
YOU USE IT PERTAINS TO THE GEAR
INNOVATION. THE EIGHT YEAR HE IS
BEING USED TO TEST WHICH COME TO
KNOW OF BEING KNOWN AS POP UP
HERE. I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE A
DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT THIS.
AT THIS PROCESS IMPOSSIBLE YOU
REPEAT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT
MOVING FORWARD. IN MY MIND THIS
CREATES A MORE COLLABORATIVE
MESSAGE THAT COULD MAKE IT MORE
ACCEPTABLE TO THE CREPSLEY
SHOULD THIS COME TO PASS. SO
WITH THAT BEING SAID. I BELIEVE
THE RESOURCE SHOULD NEVER BE
USED AS AN INCENTIVE TO BRING
FISHERMEN INTO THE PROGRAM.
FIRST OFF USING THE COLLECTION
OF CRABS AS AN INSTANT NAME IS
AN UNPREDICTABLE MESSAGE OF
FINANCIAL RECORDS. WE CALL IT
FISHING NOT CATCHING. THERE'S NO
GUARANTEE THAT THE RICHMOND WILL
HAVE ENOUGH TO PROFIT FROM THE
WORK. LET'S REMOVE THIS VARIABLE
HEY LET'S USE TESTING WHAT IT'S
MEANT TO BE JUST TESTING. SECOND
I'D LIKE TO CREATE IT YOU KNOW
THIS OKAY. MISTER GET SECOND
THAT WILL CREATE A VERY
DIFFICULT ISSUE. OF THE CANS AND
CANNOT THERE'S A LIMITED NUMBER
OF OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY.
DISCRETES DIVISION IN THE
INDUSTRY IN A VERY VOLATILE
SITUATION. REARS FISHERMEN ARE
PROVIDING THE KNOWLEDGE THE
VESSEL THE CREW. THE BAIT THE
EQUIPMENT. THE FUEL AND THE
EXPERIENCE TO DO THESE TESTING.
THIS TESTING. I DON'T. FEEL IT'S
RIGHT TO PUT PRESSURE ON A
SELECT FEW. OF THE REST OF THE
FLEET WHAT WELL THEY HAVE A
CHANCE TOGETHER THE RESORTS.
THIS WILL DO NOTHING MORE THAN
CREATE A MUST BE IN THE FLEET.
IT'S ALREADY TOUGH ENOUGH. WE
DON'T NEED TO ADD FUEL TO THE
FIRE. SO INSTEAD. I PROPOSE THAT
THE GROUPS THAT WANT TO SEE THE
CARE THE PROPER GEAR TESTED.
PROVIDED FINANCIAL BACKING IF IN
FACT THEY TRULY WANT TO SEE THIS
EQUIPMENT WORK. AGAIN TESTING
FOR TESTING. GATHERING REAL DATA
WITHOUT FOURTEEN FISHERMEN TO BE
PITTED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. I
WOULD ALSO PROPOSE. THAT THE
DATA AND ANALYSIS BE DONE BY AN
UNBIASED PARTY. NOT SOMEONE WHO
HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF POP UP WERE
RUTHLESS HERE. SO IN CLOSING I
WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY
THAT THE USE OF ALL OF. THIS
YEAR IS A MEANS OF MEDICATION
NOT THE SOLUTION. IT'S NO
DIFFERENT THAN WHERE YOU SHE
FELT. HAVING YOUR BAGS IN YOUR
CAR. OR HAVING AN AUTOMATIC BUT
DRIVING VEHICLE. THEY'LL ALWAYS
BE ACCIDENTS. ZERO INTERACTIONS
ARE ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTAIN
. FULL COLLABORATION AND
TRANSPARENCY MEDICATION WE CAN
DO OUR BEST TO TRY. THANK YOU I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY EXPRESS MY FEELINGS.
AS ROCK AS ALWAYS WONDERFUL JOB
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR YOU TAKING THE TIME

DIVERSE SET OF PARTNERS ACROSS
THE STATE. WITH THE GOAL TRYING
TO INCREASE RESILIENCE OF OCEAN
ECOSYSTEMS AND THE COASTAL
COMMUNITIES THAT DEPEND ON THEM
THROUGH SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES
MANAGEMENT. AND AS YOU LAID OUT
THIS MORNING IN CALIFORNIA WE
ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING IMPACTS
OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN OUR
FISHERIES WITH OCEAN WARMING
ACIDIFICATION INCREASED
FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY OF
EXTREME EVENTS. ALL THAT
SHIFTING SPECIES RANGES AND
THEIR PRODUCTIVITY AND ALL OF
THOSE CHANGES THE SYSTEM ARE
COMPLICATING SOME OF OUR
CONVENTIONAL MANAGEMENT
PROCESSES. AND CAUSING
SIGNIFICANT HUMAN IMPACTS LIKE
ECONOMIC LOSSES FROM FISHERY
DELAYS AND CLOSURES. THE
DUNGENESS CRAB FISHERY IS
CERTAINLY NO STRANGER TO THOSE
TYPES OF IMPACTS. AND SINCE
TWENTY FIFTEEN TEN HE'S BEEN
WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH
FISHERMEN AND MANAGERS AS PART
OF THE DENTIST CRAB FISHING.
WORKING GROUP. TRY TO INNOVATE
SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ENTANGLEMENTS. IN SUPPORT OF
THRIVING FISHERY. AND AS A
RESULT OF ALL THE FIBER OF
EFFORTS THE WORKING GROUP ALONG
WITH LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT FOR
THE FLEET FROM THE LEGISLATURE
FROM A PC FROM THE DEPARTMENT.
THE DENNIS CRABTREE IS LEADING
IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WHAT WE
CONSIDER TO BE KIND OF READY TO
TRADE MANAGEMENT IN CALIFORNIA.
I'M READY MANAGEMENT IS
ESSENTIALLY JUST ADAPTIVE AND
RESPONSIVE MANAGEMENT ALLOWS FOR
FASTER MORE INFORMED DECISION
MAKING THAT HAPPENS UNDER A
WHOLE VARIETY OF OCEAN
CONDITIONS. AND BETHANY ABLE BY
THREE MAIN ELEMENTS THE FIRST IS
TIMELY ACCURATE DATA AND
FUNCTIONAL DATA SYSTEM FOR THE
FOUNDATION. THE SECOND IS
STREAMLINED MECHANISMS LIKE
EXPERIMENTAL FISHING PERMITS
THAT ALLOWED TASK DIFFERENT
ADAPTATION STRATEGIES AND LEARN.
AND THEN THE OF THESE THE
PARTNERSHIP TECHNICAL RESOURCE
AND CAPACITY GAPS. WE NEED THIS
TYPE OF MANAGEMENT IN PLACE
ACROSS CALIFORNIA SO WE CAN
ENSURE OUR FISHERIES CAN MEET
THE BILL AS FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE
AND NATURE. WITH ALL THE
ENVIRONMENTAL BILL OF VERY
BILLION WE'RE GONNA PAY- IN THE
CRAP EITHER IS THAT AND
MITIGATION. OR IS THAT ANYTHING
OF THIS OF MAN. AND IN ORDER TO
MAX. FISHING UP. WHILE
PROTECTING KEY SPECIES RAMP
RELIES ON A WHOLE RANGE OF DATA
STREAMS THAT ASSESSED THE CO
OCCURRENCE OF WHALES AND TURTLES
AND FISHING GEAR ACROSS THE
GROUNDS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF RAM AND
THE PLAN REGULATORY UPDATES- TO
THE PROGRAM I WANTED TO FOCUS
THE COR MY COMMENTS ON TO
PRIORITY DATA STREAMS THAT ARE
REALLY CRITICAL. TO RAMP AND TO
THE CONTINUED MANAGEMENT OF
FISHERIES. FIRST UP IS SECURING
A SUSTAINABLE FUNDING SOURCE TO
CONTINUE THESE INDUSTRY LED
MARINE LIFE MONITORING SURVEYS.
BOB IN MENTION NEWS OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS WE'VE PARTNERED
WITH TRIPLE CA TO PILOT THESE
FISHERMEN LEFT SURVEYS. THEY
SERVE TO FILL CRITICAL DATA
GAPS- WILL PRESENT AN ABSENT AND
THEY COMPLEMENT A BUNCH OF OTHER
MONITORING TOOLS WE HAVE IN THE
TOOL BOX LIKE AERIAL SURVEYS.
THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO WEATHER
AND OTHER DISRUPTIONS. THE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL THEY'VE DELIVERED KEY
DATA TO INFORM RISK ASSESSMENTS
ACROSS NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
ZONES. AND THINK THE GUIDANCE
FROM THE WORKING GROUP'S WELL
EXPERT ADVISORS LEADERSHIP AND
EXPERTISE FROM TRIPLE CA AND ALL
THE PARTICIPATING FISHERMEN. AND
THE COLLABORATION WITH THE
DEPARTMENT SO RIGHT NOW BEEN
MENTIONED THIS THERE SURVEYS
GOING ON TODAY AND TOMORROW AND
THE INTENTION. IS TO CONTINUE
THESE SURVEYS INTO THE SPRING
AND EXPAND PARTICIPATION. THE
NUMBER WHERE WE WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT.
AND LEADERSHIP AS WE'RE SPEAKING
LONGER TERM FUNDING THAT CAN
HELP SUSTAIN THESE AND HELP
FORMALIZE THEM AND DELIVER THIS
CRITICAL DATA STREAM SO LONG
TERM FUNDING WOULD COVER THE
COST OF THE PROGRAM. IT WOULD
HELP SUPPORT AT SOME TARGETED
LEVEL OF OBSERVER COVERAGE. AND
IT WOULD ENSURE THAT THERE IS A
COST EFFECTIVE AND TIMELY DATA
SOURCE FOR THE PRESENCE AND
ABSENCE OF WEALTH. AND HELP
INCREASE TRUST AND SOME OF THE
DATA THAT'S ACTUALLY USED TO
HIDE DURING AROUND PROCESS.
QUICKLY THE SECOND PRIORITY I
WANTED TO RAISE TODAY IS JUST
THE NEED TO CONTINUE TO USE THE
SUCCESSFUL MODELS OF
COLLABORATION TO DEVELOP COST
EFFECTIVE PLANS FOR ELECTRONIC
VESSEL LOCATION MONITORING.
UNDER THOSE FORTHCOMING RAMP
REGULATIONS THE NEW UP TO POINT
OUT ONES THAT I'M FISHING
VESSELS IN THE FLEET ARE GONNA
BE REQUIRED TO HAVE OPERATIONAL
ELECTRONIC VESSEL MONITORING
SYSTEMS ON BOARD IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. THAT DATA FROM THE
MODERN SYSTEM DECIDED AT THE KEY
SOURCE NEEDED TO FULFILL THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INCIDENTAL
TAKE PERMIT FOR THAT-
CONSERVATION PLAN FOR THE
FISHERY. AND BASED ON OUR
EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING THESE
SORTS OF PROGRAMS FOR LIKE KIND
OF MINORING IN FEDERALLY MANAGED
FISHERIES. REALLY RECOMMENDED
THE CONTINUED COOPERATION AMONG
THE DEPARTMENT AND THE FLEET
PARTNERS LIKE PACIFIC STATES
WASHINGTON AND OREGON. THE HELP
ESTABLISH YOUR DATA REQUIREMENTS
AND THE TECHNOLOGY AND
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR THOSE
TOOLS. THE COLLABORATIVE TESTING
OF THESE TECH TOOLS IS REALLY
KEY TO DEVELOPING WORKABLE COST
EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
RATHER THAN PRESCRIPTIVE OR
INFLEXIBLE. PLANS SO WE'RE
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS EARLY TESTING
AND REALLY THINK THAT CAN HELP
ENSURE THAT THE RIGHT DATA IS
AVAILABLE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO
BETTER INFORM MANAGEMENT
DECISIONS. SO IN SOME- THEN. IN
THE TUESDAY STREAMS PARTICULAR
ARE GONNA THE- AFFECTED AND
ADAPT MANAGE AND THE PENSIONS
PRACTICE RATE. AND CAN CONTINUE
ADVANCING MARC I'M ALREADY
MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE STREET IN
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AS A
PANELIST TODAY. THANK YOU SO
MUCH IT IS REALLY WONDERFUL TO
SEE YOU. GO TO SAY MISCARRIAGE
BEEN IN THE TRENCHES ON SO MANY
ISSUES WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE
IT'S GOOD TO SEE THANK YOU. LAYS
IN GERMAN I WANT TO GO TO OUR
PANEL WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR. A
LITTLE BIT OF A LIGHTNING ROUND
IF IT WORKS. FOR FOLKS I WANT TO
FIRST START WITH DOCTOR ANDERSON
DR ANDERSON YOU'VE BEEN SUCH A
TROOPER TODAY AND I APOLOGIZE.
THAT WE'VE KEPT YOU AND I KNOW
YOU'RE UNDER THE WEATHER BUT
QUICKLY. CAN YOU GIVE US. YOUR
BEST GUESS. ON WHY YOU WERE SEEN
DECREASED IMOKE ACID NUMBERS
ACROSS THE STATE THIS YEAR- AND-
YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST. THIS
IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE A-
MORE OF A REOCCURRING ISSUE.
WITH HIGHER TEMPERATURES IN THE
OCEAN BUT- DOCTOR ANDERSON. TALK
TO US ABOUT THIS YEAR IN THE IN.
YOUR SIGHTS AS WE GO FORWARD
WITH THE CLIMATE CRISIS- YOU
KNOW I THINK WHAT IF FOR ANY
GIVEN TO MY WORK ACT THE DEFENSE
WE DON'T KNOW WHY IT TAKES PLACE
WHEN AND WHERE IT DOES- WE HAVE
A GOOD SENSE I THINK OF THE-
VINYL CONDITIONS THAT. LEAD TO
DEMOCRATS OF PRODUCTION BUT
UNDERSTANDING ON A BRIGHTER
BROADER OCEANOGRAPHIC SCALE WHEN
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE
CONDITIONS- IN A GIVEN LOCATION
IS MUCH TOUGHER- SO MY ONLY
GUESS. REGARDING NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA THIS YEAR WOULD BE
THAT- WE HAVEN'T SEEN SOME OF
THOSE CONDITIONS GET SET UP OR
IF THEY HAVE THEY HAVE. BEEN SET
UP FOR THE DURATION THAT IT
WOULD TAKE TO- ALLOW FOR A LOT
OF SETTLING OF DEMONIC ACID
INTO- THE SENTIMENTS WHERE THE
CROWDS WITH AND TAKE IT UP- AND
SO IN A PLACE LIKE SANTA BARBARA
THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL TIME FOR THE
STOMACH ACID EVENT THIS YEAR IT
WOULD NORMALLY. IN OUR HISTORIC
CONTEXT TAKE PLACE MORE IN
SPRING IN SANTA BARBARA SO EVEN
THAT IN AND OF ITSELF HAS BEEN
A- BIT OF A QUANDARY FOR US. I
MEAN I THINK THIS ADDS TO THE
CHALLENGES OF PREDICTABILITY
SEASONAL PREDICTABILITY WHICH
WERE JUST STILL NOT CAPABLE OF
DOING BUT I THINK AS WE PUT
TOGETHER A LOT OF THESE
ECOSYSTEM PIECES- IN THE FOOD
WEB. AND START TO REALLY CONNECT
THE DOTS FROM DOUMA GAS AND TO-
HIRE TROPICAL ORGANISMS AND HOW
INTRODUCING IT THROUGH THE FOOD
WEB SO THAT WE CAN SAY HOW DO WE
GO FROM HIGH TO LOW GAS IN THE
WATER. TO ANY GIVEN ORGANISM
GETTING AFFECTED. THAT IS WHERE
THE SCIENCE NEEDS TO MOVE AND
WE'RE TRYING TO PUSH IT FORWARD
SO THAT WE CAN ANSWER THESE
QUESTIONS. HOW 2% AFTER ANDERSON
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND WE'RE SO
APPRECIATIVE YOUR LEADERSHIP.
AND YOUR CONTINUED WORK. AND FOR
YOU BEING HERE EACH AND EVERY
YEAR YOU'RE JUST ONE OF THE BEST
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND- I DO
HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER. THANK YOU
SO MUCH A DOCTOR ANDERSON AS
WELL. I WANT TO. QUICKLY GO TO-
MISTER OGDEN. MISTER PLATT.
MISTER ARE MISTER PLATT- THERE'S
A LOT OF DISCUSS ABOUT ROE. GEAR
AND BUT ONE AGAIN- THE FLEA IS
STEPPING UP TO BE ABLE TO DO.
THIS EXPERIMENTAL TECHNOLOGY- IN
AGAIN THERE ARE VERY FEW
INDUSTRIES IT ACTUALLY STEP UP
TO BE ABLE TO ADVANCE. LIKE THE
COMMERCIAL CRAB FLEET HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. I THINK THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGES- IS ENSURING RIGHT.
THAT CAN DO THE RIGHT THING
WITH- THE ROPELESS GEAR AND TO
CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD WITH A
VIABLE. INDUSTRY IF YOU WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THAT MISTER AUG
MISTER PLATT. BRIEFLY WE'RE
GONNA SIXTY SECONDS FROM EACH OF
YOU. ON THE ISSUE OF ROPELESS
GEAR CONCERNS BUT OBVIOUSLY
THEY'RE ALREADY VOLUNTEERS
MOVING ON THAT- IN WANTING TO BE
A STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE LOOKS
LIKE WE MAY HAVE LOST MISTER AUG
TO RUN GO TO PRESENT IN PLATTE.
WELL THE TRIPLE CA IS. STEADFAST
IN THEIR OPPOSITION TO POP UP
HERE WE LOOK AT IT FROM EVERY
ANGLE POSSIBLE OVER THE LAST
FOUR YEARS AND IT'S JUST SIMPLY
A NON STARTER IN THE COMMERCIAL
FISHING INDUSTRY IT'S- AN
AFFORDABLE. AND EFFICIENT SLOW-
M. AND MORE MOST IMPORTANTLY AS
WE HIGHLIGHTED IN. OPPOSITION
EIGHTY FIVE THIRTY FOUR LAST
YEAR WHICH WOULD MANDATE IT POP
UP HERE AND ALL CALIFORNIA'S
TROUT FISHERIES. I THINK THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR NON
FISHERMEN TO UNDERSTAND. IS
THAT. THE PRODUCTION OF POP UP
HERE IN THIS FISHERY WOULD
ACTUALLY INCREASE GREATLY
INCREASE ENTANGLEMENT CHRISTMAS
SAID REDUCING THEM. WELL
INTRODUCING A WHOLE. NEW SET OF
TOXIC- CHEMICALS AND POLLUTION
INTO THE- OCEAN ENVIRONMENT
WHICH I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
WANTS TO SEE. THE MORE YOU LOOK
AT HOW PUBLIC WORKS OR MORE
IMPORTANTLY DOESN'T WORK- HI
THERE THEY HAVE THERE IS BEEN NO
- HERE- INNOVATOR. WHO HAS BEEN
ABLE TO PROVE BETTER THAN A 20%
SO YOUR RATE IN ANY TESTING DONE
IN THE UNITED STATES. AND IF YOU
MULTIPLY THAT BY EVERY DAY WE
FISH BY IN MY CASE- FOR TRAPS-
IS IT SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE IT'S
NOT ACCEPTABLE FROM A BUSINESS
POINT OF VIEW AND IT'S NOT
ACCEPTABLE FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL
POINT OF VIEW EITHER. WE BELIEVE
THAT WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER
ALTERNATIVE FOR ALTERED HERE TO
OPEN UP FISHING IN TIMES IN
WELLS ARE PRESENT IN OUR LONG
LINE. IDEA WHICH WE HAVE BEEN
PROPOSED TO THE PARK IT'S A
SMALL THING STARTED AND WHICH WE
ARE GETTING READY TO FILE AN
APPLICATION FOR AN EXPERIMENT
FISHERIES PERMIT THE WATER LINE
IF IDEAS TO PRESENT I DON'T MEAN
TO INTERRUPT YOU JUST ABOUT
THIRTY MORE SECONDS AND I
APOLOGIZE BUT YEAH PLEASE. OKAY
LONG LINE IS THE ONLY
ALTERNATIVE OF PROVEN METHOD OF
FISHING WORLDWIDE THAT COULD
ACTUALLY LIMON A USEFUL COLLIDES
EIGHT THEY COULD EITHER REDUCE
FOR CLIENTS OR COULD ELIMINATED
HOWEVER WE WANT TO DO IT- IT'S
REALLY THE ONLY PROPOSAL ON THE
TABLE WHICH IS PRACTICAL
AFFORDABLE EFFECTIVE PROVEN. AND
WE THINK IT FOR GIVEN THE CHANCE
WITH AN EXPERIMENTAL FISHERIES
PERMIT THAT WE COULD WE COULD
WORK THE BUGS OUT OF THE OF A
SYSTEM THAT WOULD WORK FOR THIS
FISHERY AND WE THINK THAT WE
CAN. MAKE IT ADAPTABLE TO THE
AVERAGE CRAB BOAT. IN THE FLEET
AND SO- WE SIMPLY ARE NOT
TALKING AS IF FROM THE KRAVIS
ISSUES OR IF YOU WERE NOT
TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC HEARING
MORE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S A
MONSTER WE'VE WE'VE GONE OVER
AND OVER THIS. WE ARE WRITTEN UP
LOTS OF POSITION PAPERS ON THIS
AND IT CONTINUES TO COME UP AND
UP AND UP AGAIN. AND INDUSTRY AS
A WHOLE IS COMPLETELY OPPOSE THE
ADOPTION OF POP UP HERE. PRESENT
HAD THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M NOT
TRYING TO CATCH UP I JUST I
WANNA MAKE SURE WE GIVE SOME
TIME AND WE DO HAVE TO CALL BACK
AS WELL. MISTER UGH- YOUR
COMMENTS YOU KNOW WE HAVE HAD- I
HAVE A COUPLE. OF FLEET MEMBERS
STEP UP TO BE ABLE TO. TRY THIS
OUT ON A PILOT PROJECT BASIS. TO
GUARD YOUR THOUGHTS. AND WE'LL
GO TO KEEP OUR- THANK YOU
SILICON- X. YOU KNOW. THE TEST
AS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU
KNOW- HAS BEEN YOU KNOW- A
PROBLEMATIC YOU KNOW A LOT
RESPECT BUT- WHEN IT MAIN. THAT
I THINK FLEET. IN ANY SYSTEM IS
NUMBER YOU. THE RESOURCES AS A
MEANS OF. YOU KNOW FINANCIAL
REWARD. THEY EIGHT IF THIS IS
DONE. AT THE END OF THE SEASON
WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THE
RESOURCES BRING GATHERED THE
PRO. AS SOMEBODY WANTS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE. I MEAN
THAT'S IT THAT IS AN OPTION THAT
NEEDS TO BE VETTED THROUGH THE
THREE. AND YOU KNOW WE NEED TO
BE ASSURED THAT DEBT THAT WE'RE
NOT GOING TO HAVE THIS
IMPLEMENTED ON A ON A FULL TIME
BASIS UNTIL IT'S ACTUALLY.
PROVEN THAT IT POTENTIALLY COULD
WORK. WE'VE NOT SEEN ANYTHING
RIGHT AT THE MOMENT. THAT IS-
READY TO BE USED COULD BE USED
EFFICIENTLY. AND COULD BE USED.
I MEAN WE NEED REALLY NEED TO
THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT. YOU
KNOW THIS HAS TO BE CREW READY
READY. I MEAN BEEN AND I MIGHT
BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING. THAT
YOU KNOW. THE CREW CARE YOU KNOW
I MEAN WE JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS TO
CONSIDER AND THE ONE THING WE
DON'T WANT TO USE THE INDUSTRY
AGAINST ONE ANOTHER WE'VE
ALREADY LIKE I SAID BEFORE. IT
IS IT IS A PROBLEM WE NEED
REALLY CONCERNED SHAUNA SELF
WITH THAT. AND WE NEED TO BE
SURE THAT WE DO THIS SAFELY AND
AT ECONOMIC LEE. AND MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW. WE'RE NOT GOING
TO MAKE A BIG MESS OF WHAT WE
ALREADY GOT. SO THAT THAT'S MY
FEELING ANYWAY THANK YOU SO MUCH
SIR I AM REALLY GRATEFUL I WANNA
QUICKLY GO TO KATE POWER-
COMMENTS INTO- CARAVAN S. FOR
SIXTY SECONDS PLEASE. THANK YOU
THAN ARE AYE AYE. THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY HAS NOT BEEN ENGAGED
IN ANY OF THE TESTING- BROKE
WITH YOUR POP UP HERE WHAT I CAN
SAY IS THAT I THINK THE
EXPERIMENTAL FISHING PERMITS
PROGRAM PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE FLEET- TO REALLY
LEVERAGE THEIR EXPERTISE AND
RESOURCES TO DETERMINE WHAT'S
GOING TO BE. THE BEST SOLUTION
AND THIS CASE TO REDUCE THE
RISK. OF ENTANGLEMENT AND- YOU
KNOW TO BEND POINT I THINK THERE
ARE A LOT OF. INNOVATIVE
OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE- TO USE
THE AT THE PROGRAM I TO DO THAT
AND I THINK. TO SOME OF DICK'S
CONCERNS I THINK THERE ARE WAYS
TO. BRING IN MORE POSITIONS AND
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S ACTUALLY- OF
CONCERN AND TRY TO WORK THROUGH
THAT YET HE PROCESS WHICH IS NEW
THAT IN THIS LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS FOR THE STATE. TO HAVE
THIS PROGRAM IN PLACE- AND
DEVELOP WHAT THE POLICY SHOULD
BE IN ORDER TO GET TESTING IN
PLACE FOR CERTAIN- CERTAIN
SOLUTIONS SO. THAT'S WHAT I
WOULD OFFER- ON THE ON THE
EXPERIMENTAL ANGLE FOR NOW. I
APPRECIATE THAT MISS KAREN IN
REALLY GOOD SEGUE QUICKLY TO
MISTER SHERMAN MISTER SHERMAN
FROM COVER DEPARTMENT FISH AND
WILDLIFE. SO LOOK I THINK THAT.
I UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE LOOKING
AT THE EXPERIMENTAL FISHING
PERMIT PROGRAM. BUT OBVIOUSLY
ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF CHALLENGE
IT'S A BIT DAUNTING RIGHT. SO DO
YOU BELIEVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD
THAT WE MAY NEED TO INCENTIVIZE
TO HELP ENCOURAGE- FOLKS TO BE
TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT CAN BE.
COMPLICATED AND EXPENSIVE
PROCESS. MISTER HUMAN. IT'S A
PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH SO
YOU KNOW WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT
FINANCIAL INCENTIVE OFTEN DRIVES
INNOVATION RIGHT WE SEE THAT
YOUR EVERY SECTOR OF OUR-
ECONOMY- SO WHERE THERE'S A WILL
THERE'S A WAY- I THINK WE'RE ALL
SET FRANKLY A LITTLE BIT.
DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR BEN'S
COMMENTS THAT THEIR STEADFASTLY
OPPOSED TO POP UP HERE- WE'RE
CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE CONCERNS
AND CHALLENGES OF THAT BUT YOU
KNOW THAT THAT'S WHERE THE
TESTING COMES IN- TO DICK'S
POINT WE'RE NOT GONNA RUSH TO
AUTHORIZE ANYTHING THAT IS
PROVING TO BE PROBLEMATIC UNTIL
IT'S TESTED AND FULLY THAT AND
THAT'S- I WAS KEEPING UP THAT
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE THE F. P.
PROGRAM FOR IS TO. TRY OUT THESE
DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES TRY TO
FIND A TOOL OR A SUITE OF TOOLS
THAT WILL ALLOW THE FISHERY JUST
STILL CONTINUE TO CATCH CRABS
DURING TIMES OF HIGHWAY
ELEMENTS. WE DON'T EVER SEE THIS
IS REPLACING TRADITIONAL GEAR
WHEN WHALES ARE NOT PRESENT. BUT
AS RECINE THE WELLS ARE HERE THE
BEGINNING OF THE SEASON THEY'RE
HERE AT THE END OF THE SEASON.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND SOME WAYS TO
FISH THAT RESOURCE IN A MANNER
THAT DOESN'T CATCH KRAUS.
DOESN'T CATCH WHALES PARDON ME.
NO PERCENT IF YOU SO MUCH. A
VERY GRATEFUL MR IN. YOU'VE GOT
TO THAT'S- FOR THE TWENTY TO
TWENTY TWENTY THREE. JUDGES CRAB
SEASON THE BOTTOM LINE IS- GOOD
NEWS IN REGARDS TO DEMO CASTABLE
SPLITS KEEP. KNOCKING ON WOOD.
TO WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO KEEP
THAT FOCUS ON WELL POPULATIONS
OFF THE COAST. AND IN THREE
WE'RE GOING TO BE NEEDING TO
LOOK AT. QUALITY WAIT
ESSENTIALLY OF CRAB- AS WE MOVE
FORWARD TO ENSURE THAT WE GET AS
SUCCESSFUL KICK OFF. HERE IN THE
COMING WEEKS AND OF COURSE. THAT
IS GOING TO NEED TO BE
NEGOTIATION ON PRICE AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT. THE STATE-
RIGHTFULLY SO IS COMPLETELY OUT
OF SELF- BUT- KNOCK ON WOOD YOU
ALL. THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE AT
SEEN CRAB ON- OUR THANKSGIVING

CRAP TASK FORCE WHICH REFUSING
TO BE PRIVATE PROVIDE IT'S AN
UPDATE. ON THE CALIFORNIA THAT
IS CORRECT TASK FORCE. WHAT
THEY'VE BEEN SEEN WHAT'S
ANTICIPATED HERE IN THE YEAR TO
COME. THEN WE'RE GOING TO HEAR
FROM DR LUKE GARDNER HE'S THE

TASK FORCE THANKS FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THIS
ANNUAL UPDATE. THE TASK FORCE
LAST NIGHT IN OCTOBER TWENTY
TWENTY ONE BUT THERE
SUBCOMMITTEE HAS BEEN MEETING
REGULARLY OVER THE SUMMER AND
OUR NEXT MEETING IS NEXT WEEK
ACTUALLY. FOLLOWING LAST YEAR'S
MEETING THE TASK FORCE CHAIRED A
NUMBER OF RECOMMENDATIONS WITH
THE JOINT MANY THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT FISH AND WILDLIFE THE
OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL THE
FISHING GAME COMMISSION. ON SOME
OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE-
NOT YEAH HAVE NOT YET BEEN
RESPONDED TO SO FOR EXAMPLE THE
FISHING GAME CODE SECTION EIGHTY
TO SEVENTY SIX POINT FIVE
REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT. TO
PROVIDE AN ANNUAL COUNTING OF
THE DUNGENESS CRAB ACCOUNT. THE
LAST ONE PROVIDED WAS FOR THE
TWENTY EIGHTEEN NINETEEN FISHING
SEASON AND THE DC TF HAS.
REQUESTED THE PASSPORT EXCUSE ME
REQUESTED THE DEPARTMENT. TO
PROVIDE AN UPDATED ACCOUNTING.
HOPING THAT'LL BE PROVIDED AND
NEXT WEEK AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
KEEP YOU POSTED. AND THE DC
CHAPTER ALSO REAFFIRMED A
PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATION FROM
OCTOBER TWENTY TWENTY TWO AMENDS
THE CURRENT NINETY SIX OUR GEAR
SERVICING REQUIREMENTS. AND THEY
WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT TO
ALLOW NINETY SO TIME IT'S AN
ALIGNMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA
RECREATIONAL TENSIONS CRABTREE.
THIS RECOMMENDATION HAS NOT YET
BEEN RESPONDED TO. AND THE TASK
FORCE HAS ALSO EXPRESSED
FRUSTRATION AT THE FISHERIES
PENALIZED FOR UNIDENTIFIED GEAR
IN THE INTAKE IN IN IN IN
ENTANGLEMENT AND RECOMMENDED THE
EXPLORATION OF LINE MARKING FOR
ALL FIXED YOUR FISHERIES. I CAN
BAN ALREADY KNOW TOUCHED ON THIS
EARLIER ON IN THE HEARING. AND
YOU KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THE
TASK FORCE WILL REVISIT DURING
NEXT WEEK'S MEETING AND IT MAY
BE SOMETHING THAT WANT THAT MAY
REQUIRE LIKE THE LEGISLATURE'S
ATTENTION IN THE FUTURE. ON
BEHALF THE TASK FORCE THEY WOULD
LIKE TO THANK SENATOR MCGUIRE
AND THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
EFFORTS TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE
TASK FORCE'S RECOMMENDATION LAST
YEAR. TO SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY
LED SURVEYS THAT SPENT KATE
ANOTHER SPOKEN TO TODAY TO HELP
ENSURE MORE CONSISTENT USEFUL
DATA INPUTS ARE AVAILABLE TO
INFORM. THE OPERATION OF THAT
THE RAMP PROGRAM. SO AS I
MENTIONED NEXT WEEK ON OCTOBER
TWENTY FIFTH AND TWENTY SIX THE
TASK FORCE WILL HOLD THEIR
ANNUAL MEETING. THIS MEETING IS
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC THERE WILL BE
PUBLIC COMMENT ON EVERY CHEN
ITEM. ADDITIONALLY THERE WILL BE
A RECORDING AVAILABLE UPON
REQUEST IN A WRITTEN SUMMARY
WILL BE AVAILABLE AND POSTED
ONLINE FOLLOWING THE MEETING.
AND SO ON THE BE AGENDA THEY'LL
BE A DISCUSSION AROUND THE
TRAPPER TRIPLE PROGRAM A BILL
THAT SENATOR MCGUIRE AUTHORED IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN. THERE MAY BE
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS DIRECTED AT
THE DEPARTMENT TO HELP MAKE THE
PROGRAM LESS ADMINISTRATIVELY
BURDENSOME TO HELP INDUSTRY
IMPLEMENT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE
REFERENCES TO THIS PROGRAM THE
TRAP TRAVEL PROGRAM IN THE
CONSERVATION PLAN AS A STRATEGY
TO HELP REDUCE THE PANGOLINS. A
BOOK AT THE MEETING AND NOT
SURPRISINGLY WILL CENTER AROUND
THE TOPIC OF ENTANGLEMENTS RAMP
THE CONSERVATION PLAN.
SPECIFICALLY THE TASK FORCE WILL
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION FOR
CONSISTENT PREDETERMINED OPEN
DATES. AND BUILDING ON THAT THE
CONSISTENCY THAT THAT BEN HAD
REFERRED TO EARLIER. AND TO
IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY
HERE SAYS HE WITHIN TENEMENTS
THEY'LL DISCUSS LINE BUT MAY IT
MAY TRANSITION INTO GEAR MARKING
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER. TASK
FORCE MEMBERS IN THE INDUSTRY
HIGHLIGHTED A RANGE OF RELATED
TOPICS THAT THEY LIKE TO EXPLORE
TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARD
ALLOWING FISHING AND WALES TO CO
EXIST. AND SO THE DISCUSSION MAY
OR MAY NOT INCLUDE YOU KNOW
DISCUSSION OF THAT THE
CONSERVATION PLAN FISHING
OPTIONS WHEN RISK IS ELEVATED.
NEW FISHING GEAR ALTERNATIVE
HERE AS AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED
TODAY EXPLORATION OF NEW
MANAGEMENT OPTIONS TO MITIGATE
TENEMENTS LONG LINING CONTINUES
TO BE A BIG ONE THAT THAT FOLKS
WANT TO DISCUSS WHICH MAY
REQUIRE LEGISLATIVE CHANGES. AND
ZONAL MANAGEMENT. THEY'RE
LOOKING TO REGULATIONS AND OTHER
STATES. INDUSTRIES REALLY
INTERESTED IN IDENTIFYING
SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO
ADDRESS ENTITLEMENTS NOW SO
WHILE TESTING IS REALLY
IMPORTANT IT SEEMS THAT THE TASK
FORCE'S IS REALLY INTERESTED. IN
IDENTIFYING WHAT CAN BE DONE
NOW. ALSO ON THE J. THE TASK
FORCE WILL REVISIT LAST YEAR'S
DISCUSSION RELATED TO HOW TO
LEGALLY FISH WITH THE USE OF A
STARBUCKS. SO FOLLOWING THE
MEETING THERE WILL BE A REPORT
SUBMITTED TO JOINT COMMITTEE THE
PROFESSION MY LIFE IN THE
FISHING GAME COMMISSION WE DO
ANTICIPATE SOME LEGISLATIVE
REQUESTED THAT REPORT ESPECIALLY
RELATED TO DISENTANGLE MEANT
ISSUE. BUT AT THIS TIME I CAN'T
SPECULATE ON THE NATURE OF THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS- BUT ON BEHALF
THE TASK FORCE IN THE ADMIN TEAM
AND LIKE TO THANK YOU. FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THIS
UPDATE AND FOR YOUR CONTINUED
RESPONSIVENESS TO TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATIONS. AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK

KRISTIN FISHER WERE REALLY
GRATEFUL WE LOOK FORTY HEARING
REPORT AFTER NEXT WEEK AND OTHER
MISTER SCULLY WILL BE THERE WITH
YOU AS WELL. ALL RIGHT AB EIGHT
YC AT MISTER GARDNER DR LUKE
GARDNER IN THE WAITING ROOM IT'S
GOOD TO SEE MISTER GARDNER HE'S
AN AQUATIC SPECIALISTS WITH THE-
MOSS LANDING MARINE LABS WERE
REALLY GRATEFUL THAT MR
GARDNER'S WITH US TODAY. DR
GARDNER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
ATTENDING THAT WE'RE GOING TO
TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO YOU AND
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR

AGRICULTURE THROUGHOUT THE
GOLDEN STATE DR GARDNER THE
FLOOR'S YOURS WILL GIVE YOU A
THIRTY SECOND PROMPT. CLINTON
ANTHONY MCCALL AND- I HAVE GOT A
PRESENTATION TO SHARE SO I WILL
GO AHEAD AND SHARE THAT SCREEN.
SOUNDS GREAT I'LL LET YOU KNOW
WHEN YOUR FULL SCREEN. JUST
ABOUT FULL SCREEN WE DO SEE THE
PRESENTATION UP NOW. BEEN
DESPERATE- THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY SPEAK- I WORK FOR
CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT- FOR THOSE
OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT
CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT IS A UNIQUE
PARTNERSHIP UNITES THE RESOURCES
OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE STATE.
GREAT KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT THE
ECONOMY THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE
CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA. WE
CERTAINLY DO WORK IN BY
FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE BUT
GIVEN THE NATURE OF THEIR QUEST
TO SPEAK HERE. LARGELY SPEAKING
ON AGRICULTURE- I WANT TO START
WITH FUNDING THE FUNDING-
AGRICULTURE IN CALIFORNIA IS
BEING UP RECENTLY- INTENDED
CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT INVESTMENT.
THIS IS IN PART. DUE TO INCREASE
FUNDING SUPPORT FROM THE
NATIONAL SEA GRANT PROGRAM.
CONGRESS HAS APPROPRIATED MORE
MONEY NATIONAL SEA GRANT IN
RECENT YEARS DEVOTED TO
AGRICULTURE IN LINE WITH THE
FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR THE- THE
EFFORT. CURRENTLY I THINK THIS.
FOURTEEN THAT'S BEEN
APPROPRIATED IN THIS- CURRENT
FINANCIAL YEAR. THIS IS RESULTED
IN A SIGNIFICANT- INCREASE IN
AGRICULTURE PROGRAMMING
THROUGHOUT ESTATE HERE- AND ALL
THE STATE- GRANT PROGRAMS.
CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT INVESTMENT
IN AGRICULTURE INCLUDES- OUR
RESEARCH BUDGET FROM WHICH WE
RUN GRANT COMPETITIONS AS WELL
AS L. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES. THE
AMOUNT DEDICATED TO AGRICULTURE
VARIES. FROM YEAR TO YEAR BASED
ON A STRATEGIC PLAN AND HOW
WE'RE MEETING UP FOCUS
PROPERTIES- APPLE CULTURE IT'S
UNDERSTANDABLE FISHERIES AND
AQUACULTURE FOCUS AREA I SHOULD
MENTION THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY.
LIKE I MENTIONED WE DO INVEST
IN- FISHERIES- BUT ALL MAY BE
SPEAKING ON AGRICULTURE- SO.
QUICKLY IN TERMS OF INVESTMENT-
WE'RE AVERAGING AROUND ONE POINT
EIGHT MILLION OF L. AND T. GRANT
FUNDS- INVESTED INTO AGRICULTURE
HERE IN THE STATE AND THEN. THAT
IS INVITED TO ABOUT TWO POINT
EIGHT MILLION WHEN WE HAD AND-
FEDERAL COMPETED FUNDS THAT WE
WERE AWARDED TO CALIFORNIA SEA
GRANT. ALWAYS INCLUDES
ELEMENTARY 50% MATCH THAT WE
HAVE TO- REYES FOR ALL THESE
FUNDS. SO NOW IS GONNA A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES
THE WHERE THIS MONEY'S GOING ON
BEYOND A FUNDS TO GO TO THE
RESEARCH IS ALEX DENTON- STUFF
SUPPORT AND LEAD A LOT ABOUT
ETHICAL TO PROGRAMMING. WHICH IS
AROUND SIX EXTENSION PEOPLE THAT
HAVE PROGRAMMING IN THEIR
PORTFOLIO. THE FIRST UP- WE'RE
WORKING ON UNDERSTANDING THE
ROLE THE PUBLIC ENTITIES CAN
HAVE AN ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT IN
THE STATE THIS WORK WHERE I
RESURGENT PRIOR INCOME. CURRENT
EFFORTS FROM. PORT HUBS IN
CITIES IN MAKING SPACE AND
FACILITIES FOR AGRICULTURE THIS
IS BORN OUT OF THE DIFFICULTIES
THAT MANY PEOPLE ENCOUNTER WHEN
TRYING TO GET APPLE TO
PERMANENT- COMMITTED HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. TO ADDRESS THIS
DIFFICULTY- THERE'S A PRECEDENT
FOR ORGANIZATIONS LIKE BUILT IN
HOBS. TO PREPAYMENT AGRICULTURE-
THIS IS BASED ON THEIR THEIR
NEED AND MANDATE FOR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT. THE BILL NYE'S
ACTIONS OFTEN HAVE MORE
RESOURCES AND EXPERTISE IN
APPLYING FOR PERMITS AND AS SUCH
IT'S POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO
PREPAYMENT AGRICULTURE AND
SUBSEQUENTLY ENCOURAGE. ACTIVITY
FROM SMALL STAKEHOLDERS. WELL-
REMITTING SOME OF THE BACK. BUT
IT'S IN THAT- THAT STILL
MAINTAINS ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS AND THE PUBLIC
INTEREST THAT'S THAT'S NECESSARY
FROM THESE ARE PUBLIC ENTITIES.
AS SUCH WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH-
THE PORT OF SAN DIEGO VENTURE-
HOW THE DISTRICT. ALL TO SEE
WHICH IS- IN THE PORT OF LA-
HUMBLE HOW THE DISTRICT AND MOST
RECENTLY THE CITY OF FORT BRAGG
IN THE NOIDA HOBBIT DISTRICT.
CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT- BACK IN MY
SUPPORT OF THIS COMMUNITY TO
ORGANIZE A BLUE ECONOMY
SYMPOSIUM. LOOKING AT DIFFERENT
ASPECTS OF THE SPORT THERE ON
THE THEIR ECONOMY THAN A
SIGNIFICANT PART OF THIS-
SYMPOSIUM DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF
RE PURPOSING FORMAN MILLS SOUGHT
IN FORT BRAGG AND WHEN APPLE
CULTIVAR. THE COULD VOTE
RESEARCH CONSERVATION. AND
COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE ACTIVE.
FROM THIS MEETING BEEN
SUBSEQUENT ACTIVITY INCLUDING
THE CITY APPLYING FUNDS FROM
PERSONAL COMMISSION TODAY'S A
MORE ROBUST PLANNING AROUND SOME
OF THE CONCEPTS THAT I CAME OUT
OF THE SYMPOSIUM. THE PURPOSE OF
THIS WORK OVERALL WILL BE TO-
PROVIDE RESOURCES THE OTHER
INTEREST. INTERESTED ENTITIES
ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF
DEVELOPING AGRICULTURE PAYMENTS
AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT
SUPPORTS SMALLER STAKEHOLDERS
THAT ARE INTERESTED IN DOING
APPLE CULTURE. THE NEXT AREA OF
ACTIVITY. CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT
IS RESTORATION AGRICULTURE.
WOULD BE WORKING WITH A NUMBER
OF SPECIES YOU IN USING ALCOHOL
TO STILL PAY TO RESTORATION
OUTCOME. INCLUDES OLYMPIA
OYSTERS MATERIAL ONLY NIGHT ONLY
NATIVE OYSTERS SPECIES ON THE
WEST COAST. THE POPULATION OF
THESE- ALWAYS AS MUCH LOWER
THAN. WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
HISTORICALLY. AND PARTICULARLY
THEIR IMPERILED AND SOME OF THE
EXTRAS INCLUDING ELKHORN SLOUGH
IN MY- A AND R. BUTTON. WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH LOCAL
PARTNERS- TO PRODUCE OLYMPIA
OYSTER BABIES AND HATCHERIES AND
OUTLINING THE RESULTING
JUVENILES BACK INTO THE- THAT
STREETS TO HELP THEIR SCHOOL
POPULATIONS THEY WERE. STILL
SUSTAINING LEVELS. THIS PROGRAM
JOURNEY AND INFANCY- BUT SO FAR
WE'VE RELEASED- TENS OF
THOUSANDS BACK IN THE WILD AND
MONITORING THE POPULATION FOR
SIGNS OF SELF SUFFICIENCY. OTHER
SPECIES THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING
INCLUDED THE ENDANGERED WHITE
ABALONE WITH THE HELP OF NOW YOU
SEE DAVIS AND- THE BY
FOUNDATIONS. AND COMMERCIAL
ABALONE FIVE. PROGRAM THE
PROGRAM'S BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE
MANY THOUSANDS OF WHITE ABALONE
BACK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS
WELL- THIS PROGRAM PARTICULARLY
BENEFIT FROM THE RESOURCES AND
EXPERTISE OF FINANCIAL- ABALONE.
AGRICULTURE ALL THE SPEECHES
THAT WERE WORKING ON PLEASE UP
IS MY PLANTS AND SEAWEEDS.
ANOTHER APRIL THAT WE'RE WORKING
ON IS THE OF THE POPULATION OF
ELECTIONS AS YOU SAID BEFORE-
THEY'RE THEY'RE TAKING. THAT
THEY'RE GONNA CONTRIBUTING TO
THE CULT CROSSES AND SO WE'RE
WORKING ON UNDERSTANDING THE-
ECOLOGY AND ECONOMICS OF USING
FINANCIAL LEGEND DOGS THE HOBBIT
THE SETS OF PUBLISHING FROM
BARRON'S AND THEN USE APPLE
CULTURE TECHNOLOGY. THE VALUE OF
THE. PRODUCT- THIRTY SECONDS. SO
TECH AND INTO. REMOVAL THIS
COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
COMMERCIAL FISHERS AND
AQUACULTURE TO HELP OUR SCHOOLS
THAT HELP FOR. NEXT UP I WANTED
TO- TALK ABOUT WHAT POST
TRAINING THAT IS AN EFFORT
NATIONWIDE- AMONG C. GRANT TO
ASSIST WITH THE GRAYING OF THE
FLEET WEBSITE. IN AN EFFORT TO
BRING NEW ENTRANTS IN THE
CALIFORNIA FISHERIES AND
AQUACULTURE BEING WE'VE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING SOME
GRANTS SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT
OF- TRAINING PROGRAMS THIS IS
MANIFEST. MANIFEST IT INITIALLY
AS FISHERIES APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM THAT- CIGARETTE SET UP.
GOALS HAPPEN REBEL COAT COVERT
SAYS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A
HIATUS- BUT OTHERWISE WE'RE
GETTING BACK INTO THAT AND NOW
WE'RE LOOKING AT OLD OLD MAKING
FOR AGRICULTURE- ON. THE ON THE
GLOBAL SEVEN WORKING WITH
COMMUNITY COLLEGES- SENT THEM
MONICA CITY COLLEGE AS WELL AS-
THE PUBLIC THE REDWOODS
DEMOCRATS JUST. RELEASED A DROP
SYLLABUS FOR THEIR ACKLES.
TRAINING FINALLY RESERVE COULD
SYSTEMS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
ALSO CAME OUT OF- WE THE- THE-
CAMPUS COULD SYSTEM WITH VERY-
DURING BECAUSE OF IT IT'S NOT
GOING TO RESTAURANTS MOST ABOUT
SEAFOOD SOLD INTO RESTAURANTS.
SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS
WITH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT SOME
OF THE OUTCOMES OF THAT IS
ALTERNATIVE MARKETING SO- TRYING
TO TRYING TO INFORMED BY
OFFICIALS AS WELL AS AGRICULTURE
OPERATORS HOW DO A- MARKET THAT
CASH DIRECTLY TO THE CONSUMER-
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT ALSO-
IN REGARDS TO INSTRUCTION NEEDS-
WITH. WITH THE REDUCTION OF THE
PLATES APPLE CULTURE THIS THE-
STOCK MARKET NOT MUCH
INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND ANYMORE OR
IT'S IN DISREPAIR AND SO WE'VE
BEEN LOOKING AT FUNDING
STRATEGIES TO DO THAT AND- VERY
FRIENDLY- CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT
PROGRAM I JUST WANTED TO MENTION
THAT. WE HAVE A STATE FELLOW
PROGRAM ABOUT THIRTY PROGRAM-
THIRTY APPLICANTS ON AVERAGE
EVERY YEAR WE- TH. AND MATCH.
WITH- MARIE WITH THE VARIOUS
ASKED AGENTS ON MANY OF THE- NOW
THERE AND HELPING INFLUENCE
POLICY MAKING DECISIONS AND
AGRICULTURE. THANK YOU. DR IT'S
GOOD TO SEE THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR TAKING TIME IN FOR THAT
ROBUST REPORT WE'RE REALLY
APPRECIATIVE- AND GRATEFUL FOR
OUT THERE THAT WAS REALLY REALLY
NICE JOB THANK YOU. I WERE NO

VISOR COMMITTEE ON SALMON AND
STEELHEAD TROUT. EACH PHARAOH'S
WITH THIS TODAY IMAGE IT'S
REALLY GOOD TO SEE I HOPE YOU'VE
BEEN DOING WELL THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. ON
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IT'S
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THE
SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES HERE
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
THAT FIVE MINUTES SIR OR GIVE
YOU THIRTY SECONDS FROM. THE
VICE CHAIR OF THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU SENATOR
MCGUIRE. TOLD A LITTLE BIT LIKE
A FISH OUT OF WATER ON THIS
PANEL- BERMAN AFTER CIRCLE BACK
AROUND TO. SALMON AND STEELHEAD
WHICH WAS DISCUSSED A REBEL TRY
NOT TO BE REDUNDANT SO- DO YOU
CALIFORNIA ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON
SALMON STEELHEAD TROUT WAS
CREATED BY THE LEGISLATURE
AUTHORIZED IN NINETEEN EIGHTY
THREE. I THINK I'VE BEEN SERVING
ON HERE SAID SHORTLY AFTER THAT.
THAT SHOULD BAR THREE TO THE
JOINT COMMITTEE ON FISHERIES AND
AQUACULTURE AND THE- DIRECTOR OF
THE DEPARTMENT FISHING GAME IN
THAT SPAN- THANK YOU FOR A-
LITTLE. ENTITY ALONG WITH A LONG
HISTORY OF INVOLVEMENT IN
SUPPORT. OF FOR THE PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION IN THE
DEVELOPMENT- ELVES PROGRAMS AND
POLICIES REGARDING- THE-
PROTECTION AND BENEFIT FOR SEVEN
STILL HAVE. RESOURCES THE- COULD
- I COULD. THE ONGOING AND
HISTORIC- NATURE OF THE DROUGHT
WE WERE IN OUR THIRD YEAR. OF
AND- ITS IMPACTS ON- THE-
CENTRAL VALLEY NATURAL
PRODUCTION OF SALMON. AND
STEELHEAD FOR CERTAIN- BUT ALSO
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE STATE- WE
ARE AT OUR LAST MEETING. B.
WANTED TO. MAKE A- COMMENDATION
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE. ESPECIALLY THE- THE
FISHERIES BRANCH UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP OF OUR J.
ROWLAND AND HIS STAFF BEEN VERY
ADAPTIVE AND- BRAVE AND ADD
FACING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ED
TAKING ACTIONS. BASED ON THE
BEST. INFORMATION AND EXPERTISE-
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN DONE AS FAR AS OUR THAT WE
HEARD EARLIER TODAY INCREASING
PRODUCTION AT- NIMBUS TWO
BATTERIES TO. KNOWING THAT THE
NATURAL PRODUCTION IS VERY VERY
COMPROMISED BUT ALSO THE- THE
ACCELERATION OF MOVING FISH
THROUGH THE DELTA THE LOWER
RIVER SOME DELTA ARE HAVE BECOME
INCREASINGLY LETHAL OVER THERE
DURING THIS TRIAL PERIOD FOR
SALMON AND STEELHEAD AND I THINK
THAT THE- SPORT AND COMMERCIAL
FISHERIES IN CALIFORNIA BEING.
AS DEPENDENT AS THEY ARE ON

SCIENTISTS AND STAKEHOLDERS. AND
WE'RE REALLY M. HERE AND LOOKING
FORWARD TO COLLABORATING TO
SUPPORT WAYS TO BRING FOLKS
TOGETHER AND CONTINUE THAT
CONVERSATION THAT REALLY WE JUST
STARTED- TODAY- WITH THE WITH
THE PANEL SO LET US KNOW HOW WE
CAN SUPPORT ON THAT. AND I'LL
JUST CLOSE IN SAYING YOU KNOW I

FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IS ALWAYS.
WANT TO GO TO JUST A FEW
QUESTIONS IF IT'S ALRIGHT. WITH
FOLKS- IN BERGEN ASK OUR PANEL
HERE TO KEEP RESPONSES TO ABOUT
SIXTY SECONDS AND REALLY NOT
TRYING TO BE PUSHY AND I
APOLOGIZE. WHEN I FIRST GO TO
MISS FISHER. MR SURE I
RECOMMENDED COME FOR. YOU'D
MENTIONED SOME OF THE ISSUES YOU
WANT TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF
A PREVIEW OF WHAT YOU THINK SOME
OF THAT THE CHALLENGES YOU'LL BE
ADVANCING FOR LEGISLATIVE FIXES
THIS YEAR. YOU KNOW I THINK THAT
THEY'RE MOSTLY AS YOU CAN EXPECT
IN A CENTER AROUND HOW TO DEAL
WITH THIS ENTANGLEMENT ISSUE YOU
KNOW FOLKS ARE LOOKING FOR AND-
LIKE I SAID. THERE'S LOTS OF
TESTING THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED
YET PEAS ERRANDS THE INDUSTRY IS
LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT CAN BE
IMPLEMENTED NOW BECAUSE THEIR
SEASON HAS BEEN TRUNCATED THE
LAST. YOU YEARS- BEEN SO I
ENVISION IT'LL BE SOMETHING
ALONG THOSE LINES- HAVING TO DO
YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY SOMETHING
HAVING TO DO WITH LONG LINING IS
BEN HAD MENTIONED- BECAUSE-
IT'S- THEIR SOME. THINGS WERE
IT'S DIFFICULT TO IMPLEMENT IN
CERTAIN PARTS OF THE STATE
RATHER THAN ALL OF THE STATE SO-
YES I ENVISION THE WILL. FOCUS
MOSTLY AROUND. CHANGING
MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO ALLOW
FISHING AND WALES COEXIST. THANK
YOU SO MUCH A VERY GRATEFUL AND
I AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY
IMPERATIVE AND- IT LOOKING A
MITE MY BOTTOM LINE IS REALLY
EASY FOR ME TO SAY IS I THINK WE
NEED TO BE ABLE TO. LOOK AT
THOSE- EXPERIMENTAL MEASURES.
WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT
CAN'T COME ALL AT ONCE WE HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS. OUT
FOR THE INDUSTRY- AND THAT'S I
KNOW WHAT THE- MAJORITY WANT TO
BE FOCUSING ON AS WELL SO. MORE
TO COME ON THAT THANK YOU SO
MUCH MISS FISHER I WANT TO GO TO
DOCTOR GARDNER. QUICKLY DOCTOR
GARDNER AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
BOTTLENECKS YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
ITEMS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN
THE PAST BOTTLENECKS- FOR-
NUMERICAL THREE INDUSTRY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. IN ONE OF THE ITEMS-
THAT WE HERE'S JUST HOW LONG IT
TAKES ARE FREE AND GET A PERMIT.
RIGHT INDIA TO GET THAT THROUGH-
CAN YOU TALK TO US ABOUT- THOSE
BOTTLENECKS IN YOUR BIGGEST
CONCERN IS TO ENSURE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO HAVE A THRIVING
INDUSTRY IN THE YEARS TO COME.
YEAH I THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON
THE HEAD THE OF THE SINGLE
LARGEST BOTTLENECK IS CERTAINLY-
REGULATIONS THE COST OF IT. IT'S
NOT SO MUCH THE REGULATIONS WITH
IT IT'S THE COST OF GETTING
THOSE INITIAL PAYMENTS IT'S
PROBABLY BEEN POSTING AT AND
IT'S ALSO THE TIME- YEAH. I GET
PHONE CALLS ALL THE TIME FOR
PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN
AGRICULTURE AND WHEN I GIVE THEM
THE INFORMATION AS TO LIKE. HELP
HOW MUCH OF AN ARDUOUS PARK
THIRD THEY WOULD. ABOUT TO
EMBARK ON THAT'S USUALLY THE
LOST IT HERE- SO. YEAH WE
DEFINITELY NEED TO FIND WAYS AND
I'VE STREAMLINING IS A BAD A BAD
WORD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T
LIKE. TO USE BUT BUT WE NEED TO
MAKE IT VERY TRANSPARENT WE NEED
TO MAKE IT. SIMPLER WE DON'T
NEED TO LIKE COMPROMISE ON THE
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS BY ANY
STRETCH. BUT WE NEEDED TO MAKE
THAT SIMPLE A LOT OF THE STATE
AGENCIES. POINT TO THE FACT THAT
THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES
THROUGH- THROUGH YOU ASSESS
THESE APPLICATIONS AND- IN A
TIMELY MANNER SO THERE'S ONE
THING THAT CAN CERTAINLY BE
ADDRESSED. OTHER THINGS THAT CAN
BE ADDRESSED AND PROBABLY LIKE
PEOPLE PENSION OF THAT BUT
AMONGST THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES-
AT AS YOUNG. AN AGENCIES OFTEN
DOING THE SAME THING BUT IN
DIFFERENT WAYS WHICH STOCK
TRADING THE- THE APPLICANT AND
JUST. HAVING LIKE A ROBUST
PLANNED BURKE OR HELP SOMEONE
JUST. PUT AN APPLICATION
TOGETHER THOSE THINGS LARGELY
DON'T EXIST AND THAT'S CERTAINLY
MORE IN. IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE
THE PEOPLE WHO LOOK AT. I WOULD
SAY WE SHOULD LOOK AT OTHER
STATES TO BE DOING A MUCH BETTER
JOB OF THIS ALASKA FOR INSTANCE
OF JUST GOT INVOLVED INTO. ON A
LOT MORE AGRICULTURE PLUMMETING
AND COME OUT WITH SOME REALLY
NICE NICE PRODUCTS THAT HELP TO-
STIMULATE EVERYTHING WILL STILL
MONTH MAINTAINING ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS. THANKS FOR SUCH A
REALLY GREAT. GREAT FOR WANT TO
GO TO A DOCTOR. WOMEN REALLY
QUICKLY- DOCTOR I MEAN YOU'VE
HAD A LOT OF WORK IN REGARDS TO
OIL SPILLS IS HEARING. TALKING
WITH THE LEGISLATURE ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENT ON THE ECONOMIC.
IMPACTS SO. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO

BEEN ALARMING FOR HUMBLE BEE
KEEPER FOR EXAMPLE WE'VE- ALSO
MET WITH THE OIL SPILL RESPONSE
TEAM FROM. DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL
WILDLIFE THE US COAST GUARD AND
I KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN DIRECTLY
INVOLVED NOT NECESSARILY IN
HUMBLE BUT- ON THE IMPACTS THAT-
AN OIL SPILL WOULD HAVE. ON
BOTH. THE ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS
THE ECONOMY WANT TO COME IN A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT PLEASE.
YEAH I'M HAPPY TO AND I'LL
ACTUALLY SAY THAT HEARING YOU
SAY THAT IS THE MOST USEFUL
THING FOR US AT THE MOMENT WE
ARE COMMITTED TO. CONTINUING TO
BRING A SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
PERSPECTIVES IDEAS SOLUTIONS TO
THE LEGISLATURE. TO FOSTER
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEM WHAT
POLICY CHANGES MIGHT BE USEFUL
IN IN THE STATE. BUT IT'S MOST
HELPFUL TO US TO NOTE ON WHAT
ISSUES AND AT WHAT TIME- THAT
CAN BE AND MOST PRODUCTIVELY AND
BOX THEM SO WE WHICH- WE
DEFINITELY PLAN TO CONTINUE. TO
HOLD BRIEFINGS AND WE'RE ALSO
OPEN TO. OTHER YEAR ROUND TABLE

NOTICING HERE IN- METAPHYSICS
DIRECTOR ANNETTE I TURN IT OVER
TO YOU FOR FINAL WORD. IS WELL
STRIKES RIGHT WE TALK ABOUT
ENTANGLEMENTS AS A CHALLENGE WE
LOOK AT AND IT IS UNDER REPORTED
DEMAND OF WALES. IN CALIFORNIA
THROUGHOUT THE WEST COAST THAT
ARE STRUCK AND KILLED EVERY YEAR
BY- LARGE FREIGHT. SHIPS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND IN
FACT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND IT
IS A FEDERALLY REGULATED-
INDUSTRY- FOR THE MOST PART AND
I THINK THAT'S BEEN A REALLY
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES THAT WE
SEE- THROUGHOUT THE STATE
THROUGHOUT THE WEST COAST WE'VE
SEEN SOME NATIONS. TAKE MORE
AGGRESSIVE ACTION- IN EUROPE ON
WELL STRIKES AND THAT'S AN ITEM
THAT WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO BE
ABLE TO FOCUS IN ON IT'S JUST
IT'S REALLY CHALLENGING FOR
STRAIGHT TO THE STATE TO DO SO.
BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY'S FEDERALLY
REGULATED- THIS IS A REALLY BIG
I TOPIC THAT. INTERESTINGLY I
WAS AND CONVERSATION YESTERDAY
WITH THAT AND YOUR LEAD RIGHT
HERE IN CALIFORNIA WHO WAS-
ASKING IF THAT WAS STATE LEVEL
INTEREST ON THIS TOPIC
RECOGNIZING THE CONTINUED
INTEREST OF OUR FEDERAL
REPRESENTATIVES- HERE ON ON THE
WEST COAST AND- WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT HOW THERE'S ACTUALLY BEEN
SIGNIFICANT. M. PHILANTHROPIC
INVESTMENTS IN SCIENCE RESEARCH
TO ADVANCE ON- MONITORING
PROGRAMS AND SAN FRANCISCO COP.
COUPLED WITH THE- SOUTH COAST
AND ONGOING EFFORTS. AND THAT
THEN THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO SORT
OF SHARED LEARNING FROM THAT AND
SAID. AMAZING TIMING
COINCIDENTAL OR M. A GOOD
OPPORTUNITY TO YEAH I KNOW
