California Natural Resources Secretary Speaker Series
Feb 14, 2023 at 1:00 PM via Zoom
California’s 124 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) span our state’s entire coastline to conserve tidepools, sandy beaches, submarine canyons, estuaries, and kelp forests, and to protect all life that depends on these unique places. Established 10 years ago through a science-based and community-driven process, California's MPA Network is now among the largest, most sophisticated marine conservation efforts anywhere in the world. State agencies have recently released a comprehensive assessment of how the MPA Network performed over its first decade, revealing where MPAs are making a difference and scientific questions that remain.
Join experts and community leaders to learn more about how California’s MPA Network is working to safeguard natural and cultural resources, as well as lessons learned and next steps for adaptive management.
The California Natural Resource Agency’s monthly speaker series features Secretary Wade Crowfoot hosting a monthly discussion with leaders and thinkers from across California on emerging natural resources issues. The open forum allows for new and different perspectives about how we best steward California’s resources. The events are public, live-streamed on YouTube, and recorded for later viewing. Links to past discussion topics are available online.
