Existing law establishes the Department of Fish and Wildlife and sets forth the duties of that department. Existing law establishes the State Coastal Conservancy with prescribed powers and responsibilities for implementing a program of agricultural land protection, area restoration, and resource enhancement within the coastal zone, as defined. Existing law, until January 1, 2016, establishes the California Sea Otter Fund and allows taxpayers to designate on their tax returns that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be transferred to the fund. Existing law requires money in that fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be allocated to the Department of Fish and Wildlife for the purposes of establishing a sea otter fund to be used within the department's index coding system for increased investigation, prevention, and enforcement actions, and to the State Coastal Conservancy for competitive grants and contracts for research, projects, and programs related to the Federal Sea Otter Recovery Plan or improving the nearshore ocean ecosystem. With respect to the portion of money allocated to the department upon appropriation by the Legislature, this bill would instead specify that the money be allocated to the department for purposes of establishing a sea otter fund to be used for sea otter conservation, including for increased investigation, prevention, and enforcement actions related to sea otter mortality. The bill would also require money in the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be allocated to the department and the conservancy for public outreach activities that encourage taxpayers to make contributions by voluntary checkoff on a tax return to the fund.
