Farnsworth Onshore and Farnsworth Offshore State Marine Conservation Areas (SMCAs) are two contiguous marine protected areas that include offshore, island marine habitat off California’s south coast. The SMCAs covers 2.57 and 6.67 square miles respectively. The SMCAs protect marine life by limiting the removal of marine wildlife from within their borders. Farnsworth Onshore SMCA prohibits take of all living marine resources except: recreational take of pelagic finfish, including Pacific bonito, and white seabass by spearfishing, market squid by hand-held dip net, and marlin, tunas, and dorado (dolphinfish) (Coryphaena hippurus) by trolling is allowed; commercial take of coastal pelagic species by round haul net and swordfish by harpoon is allowed. Take means pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to pursue, catch, capture, or kill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mlpa/scmpas_list.asp )〕 Farnsworth Offshore SMCA prohibits take of all living marine resources except: Recreational take of pelagic finfish, including Pacific bonito, by hook-and-line or by spearfishing, white seabass by spearfishing, market squid by hand-held dip net, and marlin, tunas and dorado (dolphinfish) (Coryphaena hippurus) by trolling is allowed.

Please see the following for official details on boundaries, regulations and other information: 〔California Department of Fish and Game. "()". 〕 ==History== Farnsworth Onshore and Farnsworth Offshore State Marine Conservation Areas are two of 36 new marine protected areas adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission in December, 2010 during the third phase of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative. The MLPAI is a collaborative public process to create a statewide network of protected areas along California’s coastline. The south coast’s new marine protected areas were designed by local divers, fishermen, conservationists and scientists who comprised the South Coast Regional Stakeholder Group. Their job was to design a network of protected areas that would preserve sensitive sea life and habitats while enhancing recreation, study and education opportunities. The south coast marine protected areas went into effect in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farnsworth Onshore and Farnsworth Offshore State Marine Conservation Areas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
