Pitch in to protect the ocean

January 5th, 2010

The future of California’s coastal economy depends on sound management of ocean resources, and conservationists and anglers alike recognize the value of smart regulations and effective enforcement. For proof, look no further than two fledgling programs designed to support wildlife protection in California. 


The new Fish and Game Warden Stamp will help fund training and equipment for wardens.  The stamps cost $5, and can be purchased online or at regional licensing offices.  Please consider supporting the state's wildlife protection officers by buying and displaying a warden stamp.

Or, if you prefer to take a more active role, consider getting involved in a local group helping with outreach, education, and monitoring of California's land-based and underwater parks.

On the north coast, the latest region to undergo Marine Life Protection Act
planning, local volunteers have formed a sort of “neighborhood watch for the ocean.”  Mendo Ab Watch is a group of fishermen, divers and conservationists working with the Department of Fish and Game to ensure north coast resources are managed sustainably.
