Rule
Summary
The University of California Santa Cruz will carry out rocky shore surveys along the Oregon and California coasts from 2025 to 2030. During these surveys, some marine mammals might be accidentally disturbed, but new rules make sure this happens as little as possible and that everything is carefully tracked. These regulations help protect marine life while supporting important scientific research.
