California cancels salmon fishing season.

For the first time in 14 years, fishery managers are canceling next year’s salmon fishing season off California's coast due to years of drought that have taken a toll on the fall run of Chinook salmon. The Pacific Fishery Management Council has recommended closing the salmon season until next spring, and NOAA Fisheries is expected to implement the closure. The closure hits a $1.4 billion fishing industry that supports 23,000 jobs in California, but many who rely on fishing salmon for a living acknowledge the need to cancel the fishing season.
