Kids of all ages turned out to learn about California's spectacular ocean resources at Underwater Parks Day. Many folks showed their support by participating in our "hold a sign" campaign. If you would like to get involved, just take a picture of yourself or friends holding a sign like the one here. Then join us on Flickr or Facebook!
Many thanks to the staff at Cabrillo, Birch, SeaLife, Aquarium of the Pacific, SeaLife, Ty Warner Sea Center, and Santa Monica Pier Aquariums for putting together such a great event. We're already looking forward to next year, when Underwater Parks Day will be back and even better!
You can read more about the first annual Underwater Parks Day in this article from the North County Times.
Santa Cruz resident Randy Widera took time to reflect on the benefits of marine protected areas, since the central coast's network has been in place since 2007. You can read his thoughts on the connection between land and sea in the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
