This data depicts the fishing zones used to manage marine life entanglement risk under the Risk Assessment and Mitigation Program (RAMP). The RAMP Fishing Zones are defined in the California Code of Regulation's Section 132.8(a)(7) of Title 14 and were codified in regulation on November 1, 2020. These zones are current as of September, 2023 but may change during future rule making.
