There are several petitions to either strengthen or weaken the Marine Protected Area network that will be decided upon by the California Fish and Game Commission this Spring. In order to achieve 30×30 on our coastal waters and prepare our beloved coastline for current and emerging stressors, advocating for more and stronger MPAs is vital. Please consider attending one of the upcoming hearings to support proposed MPAs or the strengthening of existing MPAs in your region.

The California State Water Resources Control Board decides how water in our rivers is shared between farms, cities, and fish. Right now, they are deciding how much water must stay in the Shasta River to protect salmon by establishing baseline minimum flows.
