§ 132.1. Dungeness Crab Trap Tags, Biennial Buoy Tags, and Trap and Buoy Tag Allocations.
(b) Dungeness Crab Biennial Buoy Tags. As required by Section 9005 of the Fish and Game Code, every Dungeness crab trap placed in waters of the state to take Dungeness crab for commercial purposes shall be marked with a buoy. Each Dungeness crab trap on board or fished from a permitted Dungeness crab vessel is required to have a biennial buoy tag affixed to the main buoy, known hereafter as buoy tag, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8276.5(a)(1)(D) of the Fish and Game Code. The buoy tag shall contain the department-assigned Dungeness crab vessel permit number and trap tier number. All of the buoy tags allocated to each Dungeness crab vessel permit as described in this Section and Section 8276.5(a)(1) of the Fish and Game Code shall be purchased by the permitholder biennially at the same time a Dungeness crab vessel permit is purchased or the permit shall be void pursuant to Section 8276.5(a)(3)(A) of the Fish and Game Code. The nonrefundable fee for each buoy tag is $5.00.
(B) Notwithstanding Section 9012 of the Fish and Game Code, vessels with both a valid commercial passenger fishing vessel license and a valid Dungeness crab vessel permit may only fish for Dungeness crab during the commercial Dungeness crab season. In Districts 6 and 7, after the close of the commercial Dungeness crab season, vessels with both a valid commercial passenger fishing vessel license and a valid Dungeness crab vessel permit may fish only under the provisions of their commercial passenger fishing vessel license until the close of the recreational season.
(1) Pursuant to Section 8276.5(a)(1) of the Fish and Game Code, the Dungeness crab trap limit program shall contain seven tiers of Dungeness crab trap limits based on California landings. Landings shall be documented by fish landing receipts submitted to the department in the vessel's name and identification number pursuant to Section 8046 of the Fish and Game Code under valid California Dungeness crab vessel permits between November 15, 2003, and July 15, 2008, inclusive, as follows:
(F) Tier 6 shall be the remaining California permits with the next highest California landings of Dungeness crab made with trap gear to those in subdivision (E), which are not described in paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (g) of Section 8276.4 of the Fish and Game Code, and each permitholder shall receive a maximum allocation of 250 buoy tags.
(G) Tier 7 shall be the California permits described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (g) of Section 8276.4 of the Fish and Game Code, and each permitholder shall receive a maximum allocation of 175 buoy tags. Tags in this tier shall not be transferable for the first two years of the program pursuant to Section 8276.5(a)(1)(G) of the Fish and Game Code.
