(a) General Rules and Regulations:
The areas specified in this section have been declared by
the commission to be marine protected areas, marine managed areas, or special
closures. Public use of marine protected areas, marine managed areas, or
special closures shall be compatible with the primary purposes of such areas.
MPAs, MMAs, and special closures are subject to the following general rules and
regulations in addition to existing Fish and Game Code statutes and regulations
of the commission, except as otherwise provided for in subsection
632(b), areas and
special regulations for use. Nothing in this section expressly or implicitly
precludes, restricts or requires modification of current or future uses of the
waters identified as marine protected areas, special closures, or the lands or
waters adjacent to these designated areas by the Department of Defense, its
allies or agents.
(1) Protection of
Resources in MPAs and MMAs, as defined in Public Resources Code Section
36710:
(A) State Marine Reserves: In a state marine
reserve, it is unlawful to injure, damage, take, or possess any living,
geological, or cultural marine resource, except under a scientific collecting
permit issued by the department pursuant to Section
650 or specific authorization from
the commission for research, restoration, or monitoring purposes.
1. Notwithstanding the classification
specified in this section, the boundaries of all state marine reserves exclude
any pre-existing artificial structure when that structure is being actively
maintained, repaired, or operated by the leaseholder(s), permittee(s), or their
agent(s).
(B) State
Marine Parks: In a state marine park, it is unlawful to injure, damage, take,
or possess any living or nonliving marine resource for commercial purposes. Any
human use that would compromise protection of the species of interest, natural
community or habitat, or geological, cultural, or recreational features, may be
restricted by the commission as specified in subsection
632(b), areas and
special regulations for use. The department may issue scientific collecting
permits pursuant to Section
650. The commission may authorize
research, monitoring, and educational activities and certain recreational
harvest in a manner consistent with protecting resource values. Take of marine
resources incidental to the operation, maintenance, repair, removal, and
replacement within the existing footprint of pre-existing artificial structures
is allowed in state marine parks pursuant to any required federal, state, and
local permits and leases or if otherwise authorized through any applicable
federal, state, and local law. This subsection does not authorize retention or
possession of any marine resource taken pursuant to this subsection.
(C) State Marine Conservation Areas: In a
state marine conservation area, it is unlawful to injure, damage, take, or
possess any living, geological, or cultural marine resource for commercial or
recreational purposes, or a combination of commercial and recreational purposes
except as specified in subsection
632(b), areas and
special regulations for use. The department may issue scientific collecting
permits pursuant to Section
650. The commission may authorize
research, education, and recreational activities, and certain commercial and
recreational harvest of marine resources, provided that these uses do not
compromise protection of the species of interest, natural community, habitat,
or geological features.
1. Any area within a
state marine reserve that is excluded from the boundaries of the state marine
reserve pursuant to subsection
632(a)(1)(A)1. is
a state marine conservation area.
2. Take of marine resources incidental to the
operation, maintenance, repair, removal, and replacement within the existing
footprint of pre-existing artificial structures is allowed in state marine
conservation areas pursuant to any required federal, state, and local permits
and leases or if otherwise authorized through any applicable federal, state,
and local law. This subsection does not authorize retention or possession of
any marine resource taken pursuant to this subsection.
(D) State Marine Recreational Management
Areas: In a state marine recreational management area, it is unlawful to
perform any activity that would compromise the recreational values for which
the area may be designated. Recreational opportunities may be protected,
enhanced, or restricted, while preserving basic resource values of the area. No
other use is restricted unless specified in subsection
632(b), areas and
special regulations for use. Take of marine resources incidental to the
operation, maintenance, repair, removal, and replacement within the existing
footprint of pre-existing artificial structures is allowed in state marine
recreational management areas pursuant to any required federal, state, and
local permits and leases or if otherwise authorized through any applicable
federal, state, and local law. This subsection does not authorize retention or
possession of any marine resource taken pursuant to this subsection.
