10-YEARS OLD: CALIFORNIA’S MARINE PROTECTED AREAS NETWORK

California completed its Network of 124 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in 2012. With the Network now 10-years old, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has released a Decadal Management Review report looking at how California’s MPAs are doing since they were originally implemented. This presentation will provide highlights from the Review, as well as information on how to get involved with the management and potential data collection informing the management of the Network.
