LIVING WATERS
We are addressing the issues that are creating “dead zones” in our Monterey Bay. Our goal is to slow and reverse the impacts of climate change, acidification, and hypoxia.
PILLAR OBJECTIVES
INFORMING AND EMPOWERING CITIZENS
We’re catalyzing action by educating and encouraging community members to alter behaviors that can contribute to climate change and its many impacts in our Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Building Economic Bridges
We’re building bridges with our major local industry sectors- agriculture, fisheries, and tourism- so that they can thrive in harmony with our local marine ecosystems.
LIVING WATERS PROGRAMS
Climate Hub
We’re creating an interactive, bilingual, digital resource on how climate change is impacting the Monterey Bay. By engaging people, we’ll empower them to make small everyday behavior changes.
Speaker Series
We’re leveraging our popular Sanctuary Speaker Series to feature more experts and topics on how our Monterey Bay is responding to climate change.
Advocacy
We’re protesting any boundary changes to our California Sanctuaries and the opening of our coast to new offshore oil and gas exploration leases in response to the Trump Administration’s anti-environmental policy proposals.
Responsible Aquaculture
Responsible aquaculture can create jobs while also providing food, cleaning up polluted waterways, and producing biofuels and organic fertilizers.
