This article explains how competitive California groundfish sport fishing is being drastically regulated. This is because of new found scientific data about declining near shore fish populations. The fishing season near shore is going to be shortened. These were made by the Pacific fishery management. Similar changes are being considered for state waters.
This is relevant to environmental science because it shows the effect of fishing regulations on somerthing other then changing industries rules. None of the other articles involved sport fishing and its interesting to see this aspect of the fishing regulations in california.

I agree about the impact of fishing regulations, specifically regarding California groundfish sport fishing, and it highlights the broader ecological considerations within environmental science. How can the implementation of fishing regulations contribute to the conservation of marine ecosystems, the restoration of fish populations, and the overall sustainability of fisheries in California?
Hi and thank you for your comment, fishing regulations will help ecosystems generally because without the impact of humans ecosystems all maintain a perfectly balanced cycle so once we control the populations of fish again and make them normal the ecosystems will be balanced again.
