Summary

The commercial harvest of giant and bull kelp for non-edible purposes is managed spatially in 87 administrative kelp beds that span much of California's coastline including the Channel Islands. Each kelp bed falls within one of the following management categories: open, closed, leasable, and leased. Please refer to California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14 Section 165 and 165.5 for the specific kelp bed boundaries and commercial algae harvest regulations.

Description

Kelp beds along the coast of California are a critical habitat for many species of invertebrates, fish, and marine mammals. Title 14, California Code of Regulations, designates 87 administrative kelp beds for the purposes of managing commercial kelp harvest. Open kelp beds are available to commercial kelp harvest and leases cannot be issued; Closed kelp beds are closed to all kelp harvesting; Leasable kelp beds are available for kelp harvesting until the bed is leased, at which time only the lessee may harvest; Leased kelp beds are closed to all kelp harvesting unless an exclusive lease is obtained.

The California Fish and Game Commission adopted regulation amendments and new regulations for commercial harvest of kelp and other marine algae (effective January 1, 2023). The amended regulations include temporary changes that expire on January 1, 2026. The changes aim to reduce harvest pressure on bull kelp, which is in decline in Sonoma and Mendocino counties.

Attributes:

  • KelpBed: Number used to identify specific administrative kelp bed.

  • Status: Current designation (open, closed, leasable, leased).

  • Lessee: Current organization leasing the kelp bed.

  • TermEnds: End date of the current lease.
