As federal government rolls back fishing restrictions in the Pacific Remote Islands , California is reviewing its marine protected areas.
The state's marine protected area network covers roughly 16% of state waters.
Proposed expansion proposals have sparked debate among fishermen.
Final decisions from the review are expected early next year .
The president's executive order lifted fishing restrictions in waters between 50 and 200 nautical miles around a remote Pacific island chain.
Conservationists fear the impacts from fishing in an area that's home to coral reefs, sea turtles, whales and thousands of other species.
Supporters said doing so would boost commercial fishing interests in Hawaii and American Samoa .
