INTRODUCTION A need has developed over the past few years for a publication which clearly delineates the locations of the State's marine life refuges and reserves, and defines the regulations concern- ing their use. This publication has been designed to fulfill that need. It has been prepared primarily for use by the gen- ,eral public, although its value as an aid to planners and to planning agencies is also apparent. Included within the regulations is section 29-05 of the Cali- fornia Adxainistrative Code. The section was initially adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission as Section 51, on March 1, 1972., as a measure to reduce the abuse and waste from recreational harvesting of the State's tide pool resources. In 1972, the Legislature passed a law protecting the intertidal area from commercial fishing activities. Under the law and regulations, anyone harvesting fish or invertebrates must have a license. New marine life refuges and reserves are created or changed periodically by acts of the Legislature or by action of the Fish and Game Commission. Therefore, data on refuges and re- serves,contained in this bulletin is current as of the publi- cation date. This revised publication updates and corrects the May 1974 edition. (v) NOTES AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RESERVES IN CALIFORNIA The establishment of marine reserves in California to date has been reactive rather than Planned. Generally,, both Legislative and Fish and Game Commission reserves were established at the request of or- ganizations outside the Department of Fish and Game and have not conformed with any plan designed to locate the reserves in the best location for all interests. Also, a certain amount of confusion exists on the part of the general public because reserves estab- lished by the State Legislature and the Fish and Game Commission under the authority delegated it by the Legislature,, do not adhere to any particular nomenclature or standards as to restriction on uses. The Fish and Game Commission has established reserves where the tak- ing of all forms of marine life is prohibited and other reserves where limited consumptive uses are permitted. These Commission re- serves are designated as ecological reserves, or simply reserves. Under the authority for establishing ecological reserves, the Fish and Game Commission has approved four ecological reserves in the marine environment. Regulations prohibit the taking of all marine life in two of these reserves and in the other two permit the taking of certain forms of marine life. Ecological reserve regulations affect both commercial and sport fishing activities. Under its auth- ority to set angling regulations, the Fish and Game Commission has also established reserves. In these areas, only the sport taking of all or specified types of marine life is prohibited and commercial harvest is not affected. The marine reserves established by the State Legislature are: 1. Marine Life Refuge 2. Marine Gardens Pish Refuge 3. Marine Reserve 4. Clain Refuge 5. Game Refuge Existing legislative marine reserves generally restrict the taking of most invertebrates and marine plants. The Legislature has also estab- lished three reserves where only researchers, licensed by specified educational institutions, can remove invertebrates or marine plant life. These are: 1. Hopkins Marine Life Refuge 2. San Diego Marine Life Refuge 3. Bodega Marine Life Refuge Initially, some of the reserves established by the Legislature were to protect those forms of marine life not protected by Fish and Game Commission regulations; however, the exploitation of areas re- mainihg open continued at a rate that necessitated further action by the State Legislature and the Fish and Game Commission to extend protection to marine invertebrates along the entire California coast between high tide and 1,000 feet offshore. Marine invertebrates may not now be taken except under special collecting permits. Those species, however, for which the Fish and Game Commission has estab- lished seasons and bag limits to protect their stocks may be taken within 1,000 feet. The effect of these new invertebrate laws and regulations is that we now have only minor differences between the regulations for many of the Legislative refuges and their ad3acent waters. Considerable information has been documented on the need for marine reserves, who needs them, how they should be administered, and where the individual interests believe they should be locatedi Generally, it is agreed the need for marine reserves can be categor- ized as follows: 1. Total protection of marine ecosystems from all forms of human consumptive uses and de- velopments. 2. Restricting human use to scientific and edu- cational collections under permit. 3- Protection of specific forms of marine life from human consumptive uses and developments. Establishment of marine reserves should exclude many uses including, but not limited to, harbor development, fishing, outfalls and pipe lines; hence, we must select the most aD propriate sites in order to minimize conflicts with these other uses. In addition, it is neces- sary that we make the best use of those areas selected. Under the first category of reserve, scientific, educational) and recreational nonconsumptive uses can be provided in the same reserve. These reserves would be administered as baseline areas where scien- tists could compare and evaluate the long-term effects of environ- mentalchanges against the shorter term effects of utilization. This type of reserve could also support nonconsumptive recreational uses such as underwater observation and photography. It is important that this category receive extensive enforcement to achieve total protec- tion. 'Areas should be selected which possess outstanding biological 1 1962 Report on Senate Resolution No. 108 by John A. Murdy, DFG & DVR 1971 Establishing Underwater Parks 'Jorldwide, NPS 1972 Marine Resources for California Higher Education, Phase 2 2 characteristics and include representative examples of each of the 2 various habitat types occurring along the coast. Scientific research requires the setting aside of the second category of reserve, where responses to controlled manipulations of the environ- ment can be observed without outside human interference. It has been suggested that the location of this type of a reserve adjacent to the totally protected reserve is desirable as a buffer zone to the protected area and for convenience to researchers. This arrangement would also result in the most efficient use of enforcement efforts. Where only specific forms of marine life need protection from human consumptive use, reserves of the third category can be established that provide protection for selected forms, while permitting harvest of those forms of marine life not requiring complete protection. This kind of reserve does not always require control of the adjacent shore- line and may be located some distance from shore. The State Senate, by Resolution in 1961, requested the Departments of Fish and Game and Parks and Recreation to undertake a joint study of California's coastal area and submit recommendations on the estab- lishment of appropriate marine reserves. The subsequent report entitled "Report on Senate Resolution No. 108, by Senator Murdy, Relating to the Study of Marine Reserves" recommended appropriate legislation for a statewide marine reserve program, including funding for development and operation. These recommendations are still valid and would result in the best possible marine reserve program for the State, if implemented. 2 Ricketts and CalvinY Betweet Pacific Tides FISH AND GAME CODE SECTIONS REIATING TO MARINE LIFE REFUGES DIVISION 2.
