CCFRP

So excited to finally see this paper out in @ConLetters! We worked collaboratively w/ recreational anglers (@CCFRP) to sample 12 MPAs over 6 years & found evidence to further support age and size matter for fish across a temperate reserve network. doi.org/10.1111/conl.1…

📣📣📣 It's official, our NEW #CCFRP WEBSITE has launched! Visit us at ccfrp.org to learn more about the program and sign up to become a volunteer angler 🎣

New paper alert 🚨 How did rocky reef fishes in MPAs respond to the 2014-2016 pacific marine heatwave? Working with @CCFRP, we found that MPAs buffered the loss of predatory fishes & fish communities recovered 75% faster than in areas open to fishing. rdcu.be/c37TP

Do Marine Protected Areas work? Yes… bigger and older MPAs, especially in SoCal are associated with more fish biomass over time. Center of MPAs have the most biomass. ~17% of fish in MPA may spillover. @MLMLmarinesci @CCFRP #SportFishing #WSN2022

We are hiring a post-doctoral researcher position as part of the California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program (CCFRP). Click the link below to learn more about the position and how to apply! sjsu.edu/researchfounda…

Our Comms. Mgr., Stacy Hayden, spent an exciting day fishing 🎣 for research in and around Point Lobos State Marine Reserve with other OPC staff and the @CCFRP crew. Read all about it ➡️ bit.ly/OPC-CCFRP #CaliforniaMPAs

New paper alert!🚨 What drives the efficacy of marine reserves for fish communities? We worked with the community-based science program @CCFRP to sample inside and outside 4 MPAs along the central coast of CA over 14 years. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The 2021 Cal Poly CCFRP sampling season is underway! They sampled the Piedras Blancas reference site where they caught & released 225 fishes from 11 different species. #MPAresearch Big thanks to the volunteer anglers, captain & crew of the Rita G. from @VirgsLanding!

Our #CCFRP statewide coordinator Rachel is defending her Master's thesis tomorrow (7/2) at 10am PST. Rachel worked with volunteer anglers to assess the Canary Rockfish population in rocky reef habitats from Washington to Southern California. 🎣🎉

Today is our annual statewide training! Can't wait to meet all our awesome new science crew members from across California. Who is ready for a summer full of #MPA and #fish sampling?! We are.

Mee-ya Monnin is an @OregonSeaGrant scholar collaborating w/@MyODFW & @CCFRP to investigate an alternative form of electronic monitoring for recreational fisheries in OR. Fisheries monitoring helps to assess populations & determine sustainable harvest: bit.ly/3h4mPlg

.@MLMLmarinesci CCFRP held their annual angler appreciation and data workshop virtually this past Saturday. Big thank you to all our volunteer anglers! If you were unable to make it, you can access a recording here: youtube.com/watch?v=dnqZJZ… #communityscience #MPAs #research

🚨🌊 Calling all undergrads interested in marine science research! 🌊🚨 Applications are now open for the summer 2021 @MontereyBayREU program! This is a fantastic #NSFfunded opportunity to gain research & professional development skills. Learn more: csumb.edu/reu

The California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program (@CCFRP) depends on recreational experts, making it unique among monitoring projects. Because of where the anglers fish, the data the program collects is especially valuable for informing MPA policy. go.ucsd.edu/3pUvlW2

New study from @CCFRP finds that long-term participation in collaborative fisheries research programs improves angler opinions on marine protected areas (MPAs) 🎣 Check out the paper co-authored by MLML alum Jen Chiu and Dr. Rick Starr to learn more: doi.org/10.7717/peerj.…

How does cooperative fisheries science change angler perceptions regarding MPAs? Turn out, for the better. Note that prolonged participation increases chances of positive opinion change. @OPC_California @CCFRP @Scripps_Ocean @CaliforniaDFW peerj.com/articles/10146

@MegHolst issa little BIG skate!!

@BrackenLab @HelenKilleen @TheJohnLiu @subtidalSadie @IsaiahBluestein Our guess would be brittlestars! So it would be a 'Lingrockstar.'

S/O to Captain Tom @TMattusch, @CCFRP, and the @hulicatfishing crew for always taking the time to clean up the big blue! Stopping for deflated balloons (so many balloons), plastic bags, and apparently abandoned crab pots too🎈🗑️🦀🌊

The early angler catches (& releases) the fish! So glad to have you be a part of our program @ScienceStajner!
