Abstract

This Chapter of Division 11 of the Fish and Game Code of California authorizes and directs the Governor to execute a compact on behalf of this state with any or all of the States of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington for the purpose of cooperating with those states in the formation of a Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. The form and contents of the Pacific Marine Fisheries Compact shall be substantially as provided in this Chapter and the effect of its provisions shall be interpreted and administered in conformity with it. The purposes of this compact are and shall be to promote the better utilization of fisheries, marine, shell and anadromous, which are of mutual concern, and to develop a joint program of protection and prevention of physical waste of such fisheries in all of those areas of the Pacific Ocean over which the compacting states jointly or separately now have or may hereafter acquire jurisdiction.
