How closely do coalition members work with regulatory agencies?
A number of members work with regulatory agencies on a regular basis to conduct resource assessments, monitor ecosystems and collect important data. For example, the California Wetfish Producers Association has contracted with a senior marine scientist to work in cooperation with state and federal agencies to design and train CWPA member fishermen in a collaborative data collection and ecosystem monitoring program. And the California Sea Urchin Commission is also implementing a comprehensive data collection protocol carried out by divers.
