The Golden Gate MPA Collaborative and MPA Collaborative Network Team  With support from the Ocean Protection Council and Coastal Quest, our team has developed four online MPA Training Modules to better serve our ocean community and facilitate compliance in our state marine protected areas. These modules are tailored to serve each of the three major regions (North, Central and South) with a fourth on compliance. Developed with input from the entire state collaborative network membership, tribal leaders, California Fish and Wildlife and the California Collaborative leadership team, these interactive online training is meant to serve docents, non profits, state employees, enforcement staff and the public at large. Modeled after the successful Golden Gate MPA Ambassador module our Golden Gate Collaborative team developed in 2019, we are proud to launch this statewide education program. Please share this newsletter, join our collaborative network team, and give us your suggestions and feedback on how we can better serve our ocean.
