Not Applicable in the local context

Local governments do not have jurisdiction over marine areas. In California, the tidelands up to 3 nautical miles from shore are managed by the California State Lands Commission. The Territorial Sea, Contiguous Zone and, Exclusive Economic Zone are regulated by the federal government. The Magnuson-Stevens Act is the primary law governing marine fisheries management in U.S. federal waters.
