Here is the California Fish and Wildlife statute, it mirrors the federal law. Attempts to pursue and overtake marine mammals is a violation, this man will likely be having conversations with both California and federal wardens.

California Endangered Species Act (CESA)
State Laws, Regulations and Policy for the Incidental Take of State LIsted Species under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA)

Section 2080 of the Fish and Game Code prohibits "take" of any species that the commission determines to be an endangered species or a threatened species. Take is defined in Section 86 of the Fish and Game Code as "hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill."
