加利福尼亚州立法者正在考虑一项法案,在中加利福尼亚州和北加利福尼亚州现行禁令的基础上,禁止在联邦水域、岸外银行和海峡群岛周围使用刺网捕鱼。 California lawmakers are considering a bill to ban gillnet fishing in federal waters, offshore banks, and around the Channel Islands, building on an existing ban in Central and Northern California. 包括Caitlynn Birch在内的海洋科学家强调这些地区作为大白鲨幼崽和加利福尼亚海狮等脆弱物种的栖息地的重要性。 Marine scientists, including Caitlynn Birch, emphasize the importance of these areas as habitats for vulnerable species like great white shark pups and California sea lions. 虽然禁令旨在保护海洋生物,但引起大约30名持有有效刺网许可证的渔民的关切。 While the ban aims to protect marine life, it raises concerns among about 30 fishermen with active gillnet permits.
