MPA Awareness Campaign
Through a series of educational and recreational activities, Collaborative members raised the profile of local protected areas in fishing, diving, and boating trips. They created an MPA art exhibit and highlighted local protected areas at the Santa Barbara Ocean Day Festival and at Underwater Parks Day.
