What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at South Humboldt Bay State Marine Recreational Management Area (California).
The southern arm of Humboldt Bay, Humboldt County (0.81 sq mi). Unusually for a recreational management area, 14 CCR §632(b)(9)(C) closes it entirely: take of all living, geological, or cultural marine resources is prohibited (waterfowl hunting under the general waterfowl regulations is the only exception, plus a Wiyot Tribe exemption). Spearfishing is therefore prohibited.
