NOAA grant will fund signage and education
June 10th, 2010This week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced five grants totaling $188,000 to fund stewardship and improve coordination of the country’s marine protected areas. California is one of the lucky recipients, with the federal agency footing the bill for signage and education activities for the state's new marine protected areas between Mendocino and Santa Barbara.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation will create interpretive panels and maps to help raise awareness about the new underwater parks, and explain the goals of the Marine Life Protection Act.
Cooperative enforcement ensures success of marine protected areas
August 9th, 2009The Los Angeles Times reported today that poachers caught fishing in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary were fined $10,000. The violators were caught by National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with help from the California Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Coast Guard.
"This case is a primary example of what can be achieved through cooperative law enforcement efforts to protect our nation's natural marine resources," said Don Masters, special agent in charge of NOAA’s Office of Law Enforcement, southwest division.
