Section 8110 Of Article 10. Far Offshore Fishing From California Fish And Game Code >> Division 6. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 10.

. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that dramatic changes
have very recently taken place in the methods and geographic areas of
effort by California-based commercial fishermen.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that because the
conditions which now exist could not be seen at the time of their
inception, some existing regulations are now unreasonably
restrictive. In some cases, existing statutes and regulations
prohibit California fishermen from participating in or landing in
California the primary product, or the incidental product, of their
effort in the newly developed far offshore fisheries. This situation
is detrimental to the interests of the fishermen, the fish
processors, and the consumers of California.
