NOAA's Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary

Part of the excitement of recreational fishing is not knowing what you’ll encounter. Being a responsible angler means being prepared for whatever might happen on the water. Whether you’re fishing off a pier, on the coast, or in one of your national marine sanctuaries, follow these best practices to keep yourself and the fish you catch safe.

Seeing things from a different perspective 🌊
Most people see the Santa Cruz Wharf from the top or by land — but seeing it from the sea is an experience few get to enjoy. Whether you’re paddling out with Venture Quest Kayaks or cruising with Santa Cruz Boat Rentals, you’ll get a whole new view of the wharf…and maybe even bring home a fresh seafood dinner while you’re at it. 🛶🎣
