Revised Dredge Regulations Published for California—Pure Garbage
We can’t say it wasn’t expected. The California Department of Fish & Game released revised suction gold dredging regulations on February 17, 2012, and it’s obvious the agency wants to make life as difficult as possible for dredgers.

PLP and MMAC Update
