Santa Barbara Channel MPA Collaborative Meeting & ROV Training

Event Details

Join a diverse group of marine protected area (MPA) stakeholders and ocean stewards in the Santa Barbara area for a meeting consisting of local and statewide MPA updates, networking, and more. Everyone is welcome to join their local MPA Collaborative and attend the meetings. We will spend the first half or so in the Channel Islands Boating Center in Oxnard for our official meeting, with the latter portion of the meeting designed as an underwater ROV training for those who are interested and have not yet been trained (or would like a refresher). If you have any questions or want to be added to the mailing list, reach out to Co-Chairs Julie Bursek (julie.bursek@noaa.gov) and Kristen Hislop (khislop@environmentaldefensecenter.org).
