HB 2605: Macrocystis seaweed import

Allowing importation of Macrocystis seaweed for the use in the herring spawn-on-kelp fishery.

Summary

  • The generic prohibition against importing Macrocystis for use in the herring spawn on kelp fishery is removed. The Department of Fish and Wildlife is authorized to ban the importation of Macrocystis in specific areas where the presence of fish or shellfish diseases would make it likely that the disease would be imported along with the Macrocystis.
