Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Russian River State Marine Recreational Management Area (SMRMA) and Russian River State Marine Conservation Area (SMCA) are two adjoining marine protected areas that protect the Russian River Estuary in Sonoma County on California's north central coast. The combined area of these marine protected areas is 1.21 square miles, with 0.35 square miles in the SMRMA and 0.86 square miles in the SMCA. Russian River SMRMA prohibits the take of all living marine resources, except recreational hunting of waterfowl, unless otherwise restricted by hunting regulations. Russian River SMCA prohibits take of all living marine resources, except recreational and commercial take of Dungeness crab by trap and take of surf smelt by hand-held dip nets or beach nets. Russian River SMRMA and Russian River SMCA are two of 21 marine protected areas adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission in August 2009, during the second 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.
