California Department of Fish & Game, Marine Life Protection Act, Central Coast Marine Protected Areas
Allow me to do the hard work for you:
SMCA: it is unlawful to injure, damage, take or posses any specified living, geological or cultural marine resources for certain commercial, recreational, or a combination of commercial and recreational purposes. In general, any commercial and/or recreational uses that would compromise protection of the species of interest, natural community, habitat or geological features may be restricted by the designating entity or managing agency.
ALLOWED: research, education and recreational activities, and certain commercial and recreational harvest of marine resources may be permitted.
SMR: it is unlawful to injure, damage, take or possess any living, geological or cultural marine resource, except under a permit or specific authorization from the managing agency for research, restoration or monitoring purposes. While, to the extent feasible, the area shall be open to the public for managed enjoyment and study, the area shall be maintained to the extent practicable in an undisturbed and unpolluted state. Therefore, access and use (such as walking, swimming, boating and diving) may be restricted to protect marine resources.
ALLOWED: research, restoration and monitoring may be permitted by the managing agency. Educational activities and other forms of non-consumptive human use may be permitted by the designating entity or managing agency in a manner consistent with the protection of all marine resources.
Doc Rickets SMCA: All take is prohibited except: The recreational take of finfish by hook-and-line is allowed.
Lovers Pt SMR: Take of all living marine resources is prohibited.
Pacific Grove SMCA: All take prohibited except: The recreational take of finfish is allowed. (spearing may be OK)
Asilomar SMR: Take of all living marine resources is prohibited.
etc.
In summary, SMR = no, SMCA = maybe, with exceptions.
