California’s Marine Protected Area Decadal Management Review, 2022
The 2022 Decadal Management Review (Review) is the first comprehensive statewide review of California Marine Protected Area (MPA) Network and Management Program. The Review provides a synthesis of the last decade of management activities in the four pillars of the MPA Management Program and the effectiveness of management in meeting the goals of the Marine Life Protection Act. The Review is informed by available sources of information about the MPA Network, including scientific assessments of ecological and human-focused data, shared perspectives and priorities from California Tribes, information from MPA management partners, MPA enforcement data, scientific collecting permit data, and input from the broader ocean community.
