Marine Protected Area Monitoring Webinar Series: Ask the Researcher

Bring your questions! Join the Ocean Protection Council (OPC) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and unpack the results of the latest California state-funded MPA long-term monitoring projects through an 8-part virtual summer webinar series. Researchers from 24 universities, agencies and institutions across California monitored key habitats both inside and outside of MPAs, including kelp forests, rocky reefs, rocky shores, estuaries, and sandy beaches.

This summer webinar series will give attendees the unique opportunity to interact directly with researchers involved in California’s MPA monitoring projects. Participants are invited to ask questions directly to the researchers to understand the science informing the management of California’s MPA Network.

Each 1-hour webinar is open to the public; no pre-registration required. You are welcome to join the discussion at the indicated times. Recordings will be made available with closed captioning after the series is completed.
