Section § 5671
The law identifies a strong need for more fishing opportunities in California's big cities. This is because fishing can help address urban social and economic challenges by providing recreational activities and extra food sources. Therefore, the law calls for a well-supported urban fishing program to be started immediately.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares as follows:
(a)CA Public Resources Code § 5671(a) There is a great, measurable demand for the provision of increased fishing opportunities in the major metropolitan areas of California.
(b)CA Public Resources Code § 5671(b) There is a high concentration of urban social and economic problems in California’s major metropolitan areas that can be partially alleviated by the increased recreational activities and supplemental food sources afforded by fishing opportunities.
(c)CA Public Resources Code § 5671(c) In view of the foregoing, the Legislature declares that an active, cooperative, and funded urban fishing program should be implemented without delay.
