Learn More about New Marine Protected Areas

Surfrider Foundation and Reef Check California are hosting community forums to explore and discuss new Marine Protected Areas.   

The State of California is establishing a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the southern California coastline and will begin enforcing the new areas January 1, 2012.  In order to educate communities about the new MPAs, and discuss long-term success of MPAs, Surfrider and Reef Check are holding meetings throughout the region. Surfrider and Reef Check will examine maps, photos and review new MPA guidelines.
