Protecting California’s Salmon: PFMC Recommends Closure of Ocean Salmon Fisheries

On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) made a unanimous recommendation to close California’s commercial and recreational ocean salmon fisheries for the remainder of the year. This decision echoes last year’s move to close the fisheries in 2023, emphasizing the critical state of our salmon stocks. 

As an organization dedicated to the preservation of the Yuba River watershed and all the creatures who live in it, SYRCL supports these conservation efforts and are tirelessly working collaboratively to ensure the future of California’s iconic salmon.
