California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program: North Coast
The North Coast Collaborative Fisheries Research Team
Part of the statewide California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program, we work with charter captains, recreational anglers, and volunteers to monitor fish populations in and near Marine Protected Areas along the Northern California Coast.
Volunteer anglers join us on day-long sampling trips where we target Rockfishes, Lingcod, Cabezon, and other species found along the reefs of the North Coast.
Depending on funding, we operate out of the ports of Fort Bragg, Shelter Cove, Eureka and Crescent City. We are always looking for new volunteers and charter boats to work with!
2024 Sampling is under way!
Stay tuned for news about the 2023 season, data summaries for the season, and more! Follow us at facebook.com/NorthCoastCFR for the most up to date news on our work.
