About this Project

A joint MPA Compliance Small Grant project between the Monterey and Santa Cruz Collaboratives resulted in the Explore Monterey Bay and Beyond Brochure and supporting web page (linked via QR code on the brochure). The resource is designed to share marine protected area (MPA), wildlife disturbance, and other environmental information/resources with tourists to the Monterey Bay Area and Big Sur. The brochure also highlights 10 low-cost activities adjacent to California’s MPAs and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Brochures were primarily distributed by Certified Folder Display Service, Inc. to over 400 brochure racks in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas.

This project was made possible by a grant made through the Sustaining California’s Ocean program of Resources Legacy Fund. This project is part of the MPA Collaborative Networks’ multi-year MPA Compliance Initiative and was entirely driven by local input through the Community Compliance Forums held in 2020 and subsequent collaborative meetings.
