What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife determined that Dungeness crab caught north of Fort Bragg has unhealthy levels of domoic acid. As a result, the commercial crab season has been put on hold until at least January 1, 2027. The agency also noted that recreational crabbers must adhere to prohibitions on crab traps during the delay.

Why it matters

The closure of the commercial season impacts the Central Coast fishing industry. The delay was announced based on findings of domoic acid, a potent neurotoxin, and concerns regarding humpback whale entanglements in coastal fishing zones.
