Cal. Fish & Game Code § 15411 — Leasing of State Water Bottoms is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Lessees under a state water bottom lease may not unreasonably impede public access to state waters for purpose of fishing, navigation, commerce, or recreation.

The commission may prohibit any recreational activity in any aquaculture area subject to a state water bottom lease if it determines that the activity is detrimental to the enhancement of the resource.
