Fish In Depth : Analysis California's Marine Life Protection Act How Marine Reserves Will Help Preserve Ocean Life This NRDC analysis of California's Marine Life Protection Act was written when the legislation was pending before the California State Legislature. On October 8, 1999, Governor Gray Davis signed the bill into law. Introduction Why Marine Life Reserves? Marine Life Protection Act Introduction Scientists believe that one important way to preserve biodiversity in the seas is to create networks of marine reserves where fishing is not allowed and pollution is minimized. Proposals for such a network in southern California's Channel Islands are now under discussion. These islands combine majestic underwater settings with an extraordinary diversity of marine life, nurtured by the complex intermingling of warm Baja currents with cold currents from Alaska. NRDC has helped persuade the California Fish and Game Commission to start a collaborative process to designate zones in the waters surrounding the islands where no fishing will be permitted. In the 1998 legislative session, NRDC helped usher through the legislature a bill to set up a network of marine protected areas, only to see it vetoed by former Governor Wilson. In the 1999 session, Assemblyman Kevin Shelley reintroduced the bill in the California Assembly as A.B. 993, the Marine Life Protection Act. The bill passed both the Assembly and the Senate with bipartisan support. With a new administration in California, a legislature lead by environmental supporters, and widespread support for efforts to ensure that fish and marine animals thrive, NRDC is optimistic that the Marine Life Protection Act has a good chance of becoming law in 1999. Nonetheless, as former Governor Wilson's veto demonstrates, the bill's passage into law is not guaranteed, so we continue our efforts to mobilize strong citizen support for marine reserves and for this legislation.

Frolicking on the surface, short-beaked common dolphins ( Delphinus delphis ) are accompanied by yellowfin tuna ( Thunnus albacares ) in the eastern tropical Pacific. The feeding frenzy of the large tuna drives schools of smaller fish toward the surface, and all the commotion attracts red-footed boobies ( Sula sula ) that plunge into the sea to nab fish. The nutrient-rich waters off the Pacific coasts of Mexico and Central America support a wide array of fish. In this scene, the yellowfins chase after frigate tuna ( Auxis thazard ) and flying fish ( Cypseurus angusticeps Flying fish ( Cypseurus angusticeps CONSERVATION: Safe for Dolphins? The United States first protected dolphins through the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972. Twenty years later, the US embargoed any tuna that wasn't labeled "dolphin-safe." While these measures help, regulators must keep an eye on how the fishing industry continues to affect the future of both tuna and dolphin populations. Fish Facts Fish or Finned Mammal? Sleek and swift dolphins may look like fish, but they are actually air-breathing mammals. Surface Sentinels One of three dolphin species to occur with tuna, the common dolphin spends the day in schools numbering in the hundreds. By late afternoon they break into smaller groups for nightly foraging for small fish and squid.

The closures were established last year to protect fragile fisheries—and they weren’t the first. After the New England cod fishery collapsed in the mid nineties, an area of ocean roughly one fifth the size of New Hampshire was designated off limits to ground fishing. But even after seven years without trawling in this area of the Gulf of Maine, the number of cod is still low. Many worry that there’s something else going on below the surface that could limit the fish population from bouncing back. As NHPR’s Kerry Grens reports, that something is likely to be found at the bottom of the ocean. listen: A rough transcript follows: The bottom of the Gulf of Maine varies from rippled stretches of sandy plains to jagged fields of boulders.

Oregon's Ocean Life Even before the dark shadow above dived toward her, she knew it was danger. She turned and headed for cover without looking back. The shadow seemed almost the size of a boat but moved quickly and silently. Its graceful, shifting motions left no question of its origin or intentions. The lingcod was swimming hard now, darting from side to side in a desperate attempt to avoid her pursuer. Fear and exertion caused her stomach to contract, forcing out pieces of the herring she'd been eating only minutes before. Still shiny particles of flesh were drifting gently down behind her when they were spun madly about in currents left by the slashing passage of a glistening, five foot harbor seal. The lingcod had been chased before; two white strips of scar tissue just forward of her tail showed the narrowness of her last escape. From her home within a discarded, rotting stack of pier posts she had launched attacks for the last two years on almost anything smaller than she. At 18 inches in length, the lingcod was more than a match for the majority of fish that happened past. It was on one of those forays that she had been surprised. Now her life depended on a rapid return to cover. A straight run for home would have been suicide. For all its size, the seal could swim faster than the fish. Hope rested for the lingcod in a zigzag course to the pilings where she could hide in the openings too small for the seal. But the big mammal lost very little in the turns either; it seemed able to counter every move with a simple shift of its head. The fish was only 12 feet short of the posts when fear overcame the instinctive desire to change directions and she made a beeline for safety.
