Sport Fishing 2026 (Inland and Marine)The California Fish and Game Commission is proposing amendments to sport fishing regulations under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations to improve the management of inland and marine sport fisheries across the state. These regulatory changes aim to clarify existing rules, enhance angler opportunities, and ensure the protection and sustainability of fish populations. The amendments affect multiple sections including 1.62, 1.73, 1.74, 2.10, 2.11, 4.20, 5.00, 5.65, 5.85, 5.88, 6.34, 6.35, 7.00, 7.40, 7.50, 8.00, 8.10, 28.25, 28.30, 28.32, 28.35, 230, and 701, with specific modifications such as eliminating the harvest of Rainbow Trout in certain areas and adjusting season dates. The proposal is being processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with environmental reviews concluding that the changes will have no significant impact across all evaluated factors including energy, geology, water resources, wildfire, air quality, hazardous materials, and land use. The assessment supports a determination of No Impact for all categories, relying on established standards such as the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map and CEQA Guidelines §15064.3. The regulatory action is not a procurement contract and contains no federal acquisition regulation clauses, pricing data, contractor information, or performance specifications. The lead agency, the California Fish and Game Commission, is responsible for oversight and implementation, with no contractors or offerors involved in the process. The posting date for the proposal is July 14, 2026, and all submissions are to be sent to the State Clearinghouse in Sacramento, though no formal bid deadline or proposal format is specified. The place of performance is statewide, encompassing all inland and marine waters of California, and the only designated point of contact is the Commission’s Executive Director, Melissa Miller-Henson, reachable via phone or email.

Grant Notice: On-Demand Gear Grant and Research ProgramThe Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF) has issued a solicitation for commercial fishers to participate in the 2026 On-Demand Gear Grant and Research Program, targeting activity during the fixed-gear closure seasons in specified restricted fishing areas within Massachusetts waters. This program invites eligible lobster (fixed gear) and mobile gear fishers to test and deploy on-demand fishing gear technology, including electronic transducers, satellite communications, and related software, as part of a research initiative to evaluate alternatives to traditional gear that reduce environmental impacts while maintaining fishery access in closure zones. Participation requires holding a valid 2025 Massachusetts commercial fishing permit, renewal by February 28, 2026, and authorization through an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) or Letter of Authorization (LOA) that allows fishing without persistent surface buoy lines in Marine Restricted Areas (MRA) or Seasonal Inshore Restricted Areas (SIRA). Preference is granted to vessels with documented fishing history in the designated restricted areas from either 2012–2014 or 2018–2020. Participants may receive reimbursements up to $35,000 for fixed gear and $6,000 for mobile gear fishers, covering eligible equipment and operational costs. The arrangement is structured as a grant rather than a traditional contract, with no formal CLINs, FAR clauses, or price schedules. Monthly reporting of gear performance, fishing activity, and technical functionality is mandatory during the closure periods, and compliance with state and Northeast Fisheries Science Center EFP regulations is required throughout the program. Applications must be submitted by November 30, 2026, via email to the designated contacts, with ongoing requirements for monthly questionnaire submissions. Administration, acceptance, and regulatory oversight are managed by MA DMF, though formal inspection criteria or payment processing details are not explicitly provided. This initiative underscores a state-led effort to foster innovative gear technology testing to support sustainable fisheries management in Massachusetts.
