~ Sacramento - In a recent announcement, Governor Gavin Newsom has requested a federal fishery disaster declaration to support the struggling albacore fishing industry. This comes after last year's devastating season, which marked the worst in over 30 years for the West Coast North Pacific pole and troll albacore fishery. The California albacore fishery saw a decline of 71% in volume and 65% in value.
Recognizing the importance of this industry to California's commercial fisheries, Governor Newsom joined forces with the governors of Washington and Oregon to submit the request to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. If approved, this federal fishery disaster declaration would provide much-needed relief to fishing communities that have been financially impacted by the decline in albacore fishing.
Governor Newsom expressed his commitment to supporting these communities, stating, "To the California communities that rely on albacore fishing: we're working to get you the relief you need." He emphasized that this industry is not only an essential component of the West Coast economy but also provides significant benefits to countless coastal communities.

This is not the first time that Governor Newsom's administration has requested a federal fishery disaster declaration. Earlier this year, they made a similar request ahead of the closure of the ocean salmon fishing season. These declarations have proven vital in providing relief to communities affected by poor fishing seasons.
In other news, over 100 suspects were recently arrested by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as part of a statewide holiday retail theft blitz. This effort was aimed at cracking down on retail theft during what is commercially known as the busiest season of the year. The CHP hopes that these arrests will promote safer shopping experiences for communities throughout California.
Additionally, Californians can rejoice at lower gas prices this holiday season. According to new data from the California Energy Commission, gasoline prices are 20 cents lower than last year and a whopping 70 cents lower than in 2022. This means that Californians are saving billions of dollars at the pump.
In a final piece of news, Governor Newsom has helped secure an additional $250 million in critical funding to address the ongoing sewage crisis in Imperial Beach and surrounding communities caused by cross-border pollution from the Tijuana River. This funding will allow for the full repair and upgrade of the Tijuana River wastewater treatment plant, providing much-needed relief to these affected communities.
As Governor Newsom continues to work towards supporting California's industries and communities, these recent developments bring hope for a brighter future.
