California's fishing industry faces a severe setback as federal officials, in a unanimous decision, announce the cancellation of ocean salmon fishing for the second consecutive year. The Pacific Fishery Management Council's recommendation to close all commercial and recreational ocean salmon fisheries in California until the end of the year is driven by alarmingly low salmon forecasts. This move deals a significant blow to the state's fishing sector, impacting tens of thousands of jobs and marking the fourth time in history that salmon fishing in California has been suspended.
