The state’s underwater parks are getting their once-a-decade review, which shows the system is working just as researchers hoped it would.
“We’ve got proof of concept,” said Samantha Murray, a California Fish and Game Commissioner who is also a Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher. “We can show that we can be the fourth biggest economy in the world in California. Have protective strong regulations in our ocean and be successful in doing both.”The MPAs were designed to help rehabilitate underwater habitat so the protected areas can help feed the state’s fisheries.
“MPAs allow us to have these designated areas that are able to support lots of life at every level and that includes these large fish having lots of babies to repopulate,” said Lisa Gilfillan, a ocean conservation manager with WildCoast, an Imperial Beach-based environmental advocacy group.. The California MPA review has four components up for discussion at the Monterey summit: research and monitoring, enforcement and compliance, outreach and education, and policy and permitting.
