- Cyclical Row
You failed to fact check. CalCOFI does not contribute to sardine assessments. SWFSC egg-production and now acoustic-trawl surveys provide the observation data to inform assessments and managers. In 2011, published in 2012, data from the acoustic-trawl surveys allowed SWFSC scientists to predict the Cannery Row redux. In 2015, the sardine fishery was closed. In 2019, the sardine stock was declared overfished.
