The sea cucumber fishery targets the California sea cucumber (Parastichopus californicus).


The goal of the current management plan is to preserve, protect, and perpetuate sea cucumber resources; provide for their sustainable harvest; protect the habitat necessary to sustain these harvests; and minimize by-catch mortalities of other species.

The District One sea cucumber fishery operates in the Marine Fish and Shellfish Management Areas 20A, 20B, 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, and 23B.
