DFG Announces Public Comment Period for Dungeness Crab Trap Limit Program
8-22-2012
CDFG
The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has released an Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration for the Dungeness Crab Trap Limit Program as required by Fish and Game Code (FGC) Section 8276.5.
The documents will be available for public comment and review through Sept. 10, 2012.
The project under review is DFG's proposed regulations to implement the Dungeness Crab Trap Limit Program prior to the 2013-14 commercial Dungeness crab season.
Under statute, the Dungeness Crab Trap Limit Program must cap the number of crab traps in state waters at a number that is not yet known, but will be fewer than 175,000. To do so, DFG is implementing new procedures that include assigning permit holders to one of seven tiers that will allow them to fish between 175 and 500 traps.
The initial study analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed regulations, which describe how to apply for and use trap tags and buoy tags. The proposed regulations also describe procedures for how new biennial permits can be purchased and replaced if lost.
To obtain the materials, contact Christy Juhasz at DFG's Santa Rosa office: (707) 576-2887 or cjuhasz@dfg.ca.gov. More information and online versions of the documents can be found here: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/invertebrate/traplimit_nd.asp.
All comments must be received no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 10, 2012 and must include the commenter's name, address and daytime telephone number. Comments may be submitted by mail to:
