South Coast State of the Region Report, Snapshots and Supplemental Reports All Habitats 2011-2015

State of the South Coast Region-Results from Baseline Monitoring of Marine Protected Areas 2011-2015. Learn about the biological, ecological, oceanographic, and socioeconomic conditions around the time of marine protected area (MPA) implementation on the South Coast. The South Coast region covers approximately 2,351 square miles of state waters from Point Conception to the California/Mexico border including the Channel Islands. This report establishes a benchmark of conditions against which future changes can be compared. During the baseline monitoring period from 2011-2015, projects worked across the North Central Coast to collect a comprehensive understanding of the region. More than 40 organizations, including scientists, fishermen, citizen groups, and others contributed to this summary.
