My Advice,... Get Out Of California!!
My Advice,... Get Out Of California!!
TJG, Here's the skinny:
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 2300) is added to
Division 3 of the Fish and Game Code, to read:
CHAPTER 3.5. CAULERPA ALGAE
2300. (a) No person shall sell, possess, import, transport,
transfer, release alive in the state, or give away without
consideration the salt water algae of the genus
Caulerpa species: taxifolia, cupressoides, mexicana,
sertulariodes, floridana, ashmeadii, racemosa, verticillata, and
scapelliformis .
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a person may possess, for
bona fide scientific research, as determined by the department, upon
authorization by the department, the salt water algae of the Caulerpa
species: taxifolia, cupressoides, mexicana, sertulariodes,
floridana, ashmeadii, racemosa, verticillata, and scapelliformis.
(c) In addition to any other penalty provided by law, any person
who violates this section is subject to a civil penalty of not less
than five hundred dollars ($500) and not more than ten thousand
dollars ($10,000) for each violation.
As it so happens, I sell Caulerpa prolifera, which is not on this list! California really is a crazy place to be!
