Question: Is it legal to take a starfish off the rocks in the ocean? If it is, do you need a license? (Mike H.)

Answer: Sea stars (starfish) may not be taken off the nearshore rocks in California if they are between the mean high tide line and 1,000 feet seaward of the mean low tide line. Outside of this zone you may take 35 sea stars, and yes, you'll need a valid fishing license. And if you do still choose to venture out past the no-take zone for them, and you're north of Yankee Point, you can only take them while free diving (CCR Title 14, Section 29.05(d)).
