SB 1148: Getting wildlife back in the game, Part 2

SB 1148 (Pavley) builds on recommendations from the state's Fish and Wildlife Strategic Vision process to improve the ability of the newly-renamed Department of Fish and Wildlife to manage California's unique trout and salmon populations and their habitat, and help the Department sustain recreational fishing opportunities throughout California. It includes several provisions important to natural resource protections, including new directives related to inland fisheries management and marine life conservation efforts.
