MPA Social Media Campaign Update
New MPA social media content was released in January and March. You can find all of the content packets here, with over 70 curated posts for your social channels. Feel free to modify the content and use it however you’d like- You can change text or images to match your audience and location, or use it as it is.
To help the MPA campaign maintain momentum, we encourage you to continue using #CalifMPAs in all of your MPA related social media posts. It’s been nearly 2 years since the campaign started, and in that time there have been over 4000 posts using the CalifMPAs hashtag, which reached nearly 1.5 million unique users. To the many partners who have participated in the MPA campaign, we truly appreciate all of your efforts to raise awareness of our state MPAs!
Scripted MPA PowerPoints Available
A statewide series of PowerPoint trainings is now available for download. Two scripted versions for each coastal county – one for anglers and one for interpretive audiences- are available. You can pick and choose from the slide decks to tailor to your audience, or use the entire PowerPoint as is.
