North coast MPA planning gets underway

February 4th, 2010

After several months of public outreach and education, the north coast Regional Stakeholder Group process--where local leaders representing a variety of industries and interests will work together to map out a network of marine protected areas that will extend from Point Arena to Oregin--is ready to begin.

The north coast Regional Stakeholder Group (RSG) includes members of the conservation, fishing, business, tribal, science, and education communities.  Many of them worked together in the Tri-County Working Group to find common ground ahead of the RSG process.

The first north coast RSG meeting will be held at the Red Lion Hotel in Eureka on February 8 and 9.  Click here for information about all upcoming MLPA meetings on the north coast.
