Read the full statement from @minsd, whose decades-long effort to integrate environmental justice into marine protection efforts was first galvanized by her experience as a stakeholder in the Southern California MLPA process starting in 2008: azul.org/en/blog/califo…

Despite the state’s legal commitment to protect 30% of our coastal waters by 2030 – and overwhelming support for such action – CDFW’s recommendations deny almost every proposed conservation measure and protect less than 0.1% more of California’s coastal waters.

🔔 Today, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife released analysis and recommendations on proposed changes to California’s world-renowned Marine Protected Area (#MPA) Network. Read the statement from @minsd on Azul's website: azul.org/en/blog/califo…

📰 NOTICIAS DE ÚLTIMA HORA: Hoy, Sable Offshore Corp. reinició el flujo de petróleo en el oleoducto de la Unidad Santa Ynez — el mismísimo que causó el derrame de Refugio en el 2015, el peor desastre ecológico en Santa Barbara desde el derrame de 1969. #NoManchesElMar
