You can charter a boat and go out for a half day or full day trip or you can fish from the fisherman's wharf. A lot of people do that when they come into town. We are a very sustainable area in terms of fishing. Monterey Bay National Green Sanctuary is the second largest Green Sanctuary in the country. So there are some restrictions as far as fishing.
Commercial fishing used to be our number one industry in the mid 20th century, but it has gone down since. Tourism is now our number one industry on the Monterey Peninsula and agriculture is the number one industry in the County.
