Key Takeaways

  • •The law lets a group (the commission) study sea urchins and how to keep their numbers healthy.
  • •They can hire others to help with the research if needed.
  • •The research can be about how to catch sea urchins without hurting their population, how to sell them, and how to make production cheaper.
  • •The commission can use the research results however they think is best.

Example

A group of scientists is hired to study how many sea urchins can be caught without harming their population in California.

The commission can use this research to make rules about how many sea urchins fishermen can catch, so there are always enough sea urchins in the ocean.
