'With one out of every three bites of food we eat coming from a crop pollinated by bees, this court decision is critical to protecting our food supply,' says CSFTrueFood's Rebecca Spector.

"With one out of every three bites of food we eat coming from a crop pollinated by bees, this court decision is critical to protecting our food supply," said one advocate.

"The decision clarifies that insects such as bees qualify for protections under CESA, which are necessary to ensure that populations of endangered species can survive and thrive," she added, referring to the California Endangered Species Act., the California Third District Court of Appeal overturned a lower court's ruling and affirmed that the state wildlife regulatory agency has the authority to classify invertebrates—both aquatic and terrestrial—as endangered species.

The court agreed with the commission that the agency may"designate any invertebrate" as a candidate for CESA listing. Under state law, a"fish" is defined as a"wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, [or] amphibian," a broad definition designed to allow better regulation of the harvesting of species such as starfish, sea urchins, sponges, and worms.
