However, since 1984 there has been an experimental program involving hatchery produced fish intended to help retore the White Seabass stock. However, the tag is so small that it requires a special instrument for its detection. Project Pacific is planing to re-introduce up to 5,000 White Seabass into Mission Bay every five to six months. The California Coastal Commission recently granted a permit for the net pen in April, 2001. We will begin construction on the pen soon.
Help is needed to build the net pen as well as feed and care for the fish.
Donations are also crucial for the materials and equipment required for the project. Please contact us if you would like to volunteer or make a donation toward re-introducing White Seabass into the Pacific Ocean.
