¿Quieres ser guardián de áreas marinas protegidas?
An MPA Compliance Small Grant project by the Mendocino Collaborative resulted in a new MPA harbor sign for placement at Noyo Harbor.
This project was made possible by a grant made through the Once-Through Cooling program of Resources Legacy Fund, on behalf of the Once-Through Cooling Interim Mitigation Program of the Ocean Protection Council. This project is part of the MPA Collaborative Networks’ multi-year MPA Compliance Initiative and was entirely driven by local input through the Community Compliance Forums held in 2020 and subsequent collaborative meetings.
