About Calla Allison’s lecture:

Marine Protected Areas: Conserving the Waters of the Iconic Lost Coast

California’s Network of 124 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) covers over 852 square miles and protects 16% of state waters. The MPAs function as a network to restore ocean habitats and increase the health, productivity, and resilience of ocean systems. Seven of these MPAs lie along the Lost Coast, protecting some of the most remote and abundant sections of California coastline. This presentation and discussion will cover the history and science of California’s MPAs and dive into the 7 unique MPAs of the region. It will also cover the work of the MPA Collaborative Network, an organization aimed at empowering coastal communities to manage and steward MPAs.

This lecture series is sponsored in part by Pure Water Spas.
