Text

The successes that the sea urchin fishery in California has enjoyed have come in large part through a commitment by the industry to support appropriate management regulations guiding the harvesting of sea urchin and to fund research into resource assessment and enhancement methodology that has led to significant improvements in understanding the biology of the sea urchin resource. The establishment of a commission will continue and enhance this research effort and the ability of the industry to promote responsible fishery management regulations, all of which will move the industry toward a sustainable position, resulting in increased consumer value and enhanced economic returns.
