Wishtoyo Chumash Tribal MPAs Poster
Creator: Wishtoyo Chumash Foundation
Through the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative, Wishtoyo advocated to best ensure a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) were established that protect the ecological integrity and fisheries of the Southern California Bight (SCB). A significant part of this effort was integrating tribal values and stewardship into the MPA designation process. Visit their website to learn more here.
They have created a variety of resources, which you can view below.
