MPA Watch Program

We’re excited to announce upcoming dates for our Catalina Island MPA Watch program!

APRIL 24TH & 25TH

Learn more about MPA Watch and sign up for a training day using the link below!

Our aim with this program is to collect data on how humans are using marine protected areas on the island and we plan to do so by training a crew of volunteers to conduct citizen science surveys by walking along the coastline and taking note of every person and boat they encounter. Join us for a training day and become a long-term volunteer for MPA Watch, collecting data that is critical to our government’s decision making process on the management of these protected areas.
