The Legislature finds and declares:

(a) That the actions taken by the federal Pacific Fishery Management Council have resulted in significant economic losses to California’s salmon and groundfish fisheries, have caused significant waste of fish, and have failed to manage and conserve fisheries for their optimum yield.

(b) That the California Salmon Fishery has been severely affected by regulations imposed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the federal Department of Commerce.

(c) That the membership of the Pacific Fishery Management Council has never included a commercial salmon troll fisherman and has at times lacked balance and representation from major fisheries subject to the fishery management plans of the council.

(Added by renumbering Section 7660 (as added by Stats. 1984, Ch. 1323) by Stats. 1985, Ch. 106, Sec. 35.)
