The California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced that it will close off crab fishing for most of the California coast starting at 6 p.m. Monday, April 8. In a press release, CDFW stated that commercial and recreational crab fishing using vertical line gear in zones 3-6 — basically the entire California coast south of the Sonoma-Mendocino County line — will be halted. Recreational crab traps will also be prohibited in zones 3, 4, and 5, while hoop nets and crab snares will be allowed until the season fully closes on June 30 south of the Sonoma/Mendocino county line, and July 30 for areas north of the line. Fishing in zones 1 and 2, located north of the Sonoma-Mendocino County line, will be allowed to continue, but with a depth restriction of 180 feet. (For a map of the California fishing zones, head to wildlife.ca.gov/crab.)
The closure announcement comes after aerial and vessel surveys this month showed that the number of humpback whales off the coast of California is increasing, resulting in an elevated entanglement risk. This year’s Dungeness crab season opener also saw delays, and did not kick off late on January 18. Those interested in buying fresh Dungeness crabs off the boat for the season’s last two weekends can look at Eater SF’s guide on where to purchase crabs in the city. The next risk assessment by the CDFW will happen in mid-April.
