California's Marine Life Protection Act Initiative presents...

South Coast Public Open Houses

Open houses are scheduled to introduce the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative's South Coast Project. The MLPA requires the state to reexamine and redesign California's system of marine protected areas, with extensive public input.

Attendees are welcome to walk through informational stations at their leisure any time between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. The open house goals are to introduce people to the MLPA Initiative and its South Coast Project (state waters from Point Conception to the California border with Mexico, including offshore islands), invite questions, and solicit input on the process.

All are welcome to attend. The open houses are all scheduled from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Drop by anytime!

The success of the MLPA Initiative is highly dependent upon the active involvement of the public in a variety of ways; the MLPA South Coast Project will afford many opportunities. Come visit an open house to learn how you can get involved! Open houses were also held in June in Santa Barbara, Oxnard and Santa Monica.
