Assembly Bill 3030 is a broad piece of legislation designed to conserve at least 30% of California’s waters and land by 2030. The bill is general in nature and provides no guidance as to the areas that may be closed or the restrictions imposed upon citizens who choose to recreate there.
The idea of AB 3030 is a world-wide goal embraced by the United Nations and environmentalists around the world. Their ultimate goal is 50% conservation of water and land by 3050. Billionaires around the world, including the Wyss Foundation, have already pledged $1 billion dollars to support the goal.
The California Assembly crafted the legislation with zero input from stakeholders such as anglers, divers, hunters, campers and outdoor enthusiasts. Anglers and others fear that by increasing designated conservation areas, less recreational access will be available for Californians to enjoy.
