Administrative Kelp Beds - R7 - CDFW [ds3135]

Kelp beds along the coast of California are a critical habitat for many species of invertebrates, fish, and marine mammals. Title 14, California Code of Regulations, designates 87 administrative kelp beds for the purposes of managing commercial kelp harvest. Open kelp beds are available to commercial kelp harvest and leases cannot be issued; Closed kelp beds are closed to all kelp harvesting; Leasable kelp beds are available for kelp harvesting until the bed is leased, at which time only the lessee may harvest; Leased kelp beds are closed to all kelp harvesting unless an exclusive lease is obtained. The California Fish and Game Commission adopted regulation amendments and new regulations for commercial harvest of kelp and other marine algae (effective January 1, 2023). The amended regulations include temporary changes that expire on January 1, 2026. The changes aim to reduce harvest pressure on bull kelp, which is in decline in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Attributes: KelpBed: Number used to identify specific administrative kelp bed. Status: Current designation (open, closed, leasable, leased). Lessee: Current organization leasing the kelp bed. TermEnds: End date of the current lease.加利福尼亚沿岸的海带床（kelp beds）是诸多无脊椎动物、鱼类及海洋哺乳动物的关键栖息生境。 《加州法规汇编》第14篇（Title 14, California Code of Regulations）指定了87个行政海带床，用于商业性海带采收的管理工作。 开放型海带床可供商业性海带采收，且不得发放租赁许可；封闭型海带床禁止一切海带采收活动；可租赁型海带床在被租赁前均可开展海带采收作业，租赁生效后仅承租人可进行采收；已租赁的海带床禁止一切海带采收活动，除非获得专属租赁权。 加州渔猎委员会（California Fish and Game Commission）通过了针对海带及其他海洋藻类商业采收的法规修正案与全新法规，该法规于2023年1月1日正式生效。 修订后的法规包含将于2026年1月1日失效的临时性调整条款。 此次调整旨在缓解索诺马县与门多西诺县海域中种群数量持续下降的巨藻（bull kelp）所承受的采收压力。 本数据集包含以下属性： 海带床编号（KelpBed）：用于识别特定行政海带床的编号标识； 状态（Status）：海带床当前的分类标识，包含开放、封闭、可租赁、已租赁四类； 承租人（Lessee）：当前租赁该海带床的机构主体； 租赁到期日（TermEnds）：当前租赁合约的终止日期。
