CA Department of Fish and Wildlife focus on Recreational Take of Sea Urchin at Caspar Cove

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has recognized the importance of addressing the issue of sea urchin overpopulation in Caspar Cove through recreational take initiatives. By permitting recreational divers to participate in sea urchin removal efforts, the CDFW aims to mitigate the negative impacts of overgrazing on kelp forests and restore balance to the marine ecosystem. This approach not only engages the community in conservation efforts but also promotes sustainable practices in harvesting sea urchins. Through collaboration with organizations like the Watermen's Alliance, the CDFW seeks to support local initiatives that contribute to the ecological health and resilience of coastal ecosystems.
