Project Info
- Title
- Marine Protected Areas in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS)
- Description
- The proposed project consists of the creation of a network of marine protected areas within the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The network consists of ten State Marine Reserves (no take) and two State Marine Conservation Areas (limited recreational and/or commercial take allowed). The total area protected within marine reserves in the proposed projet is approximately 114 square nautical miles or 19 percent of state waters within the Channel Island National Marine Sanctuary. The cumulative area which includes a potential Federal waters phase is approximately 279 square nautical miles, or 25 percent of the Sanctuary. The project proposes a network approach to meet the goals established by the Marine Reserves Working Group and attempts to address State policies.
