I know that it was made the California State Marine fish.
This is a quote from the LA Times:
"Garibaldi Wins Recognition as State Marine Fish
October 17, 1995|DEBORAH SCHOCH | TIMES STAFF WRITER

The tangerine-colored fish named the Garibaldi, an underwater attraction for Orange County's recreational divers, has won the title of California's official marine fish.

Gov. Pete Wilson on Monday signed a bill that grants the Garibaldi its new status, a Wilson spokesman said. The bill also imposes a three-year ban on its commercial collection."

What is the present status of protection of the Garibaldi????? Does anyone know?????
