The Monterey MPA Collaborative has developed a bilingual coloring book featuring species likely to benefit from MPAs. The coloring book was printed and distributed at events and other venues where consumptive and non-consumptive users enter the MPA areas. The coloring book is freely available to download in our Project Library.
