Marine Life Protection Act

The Marine Life Protection Act is a law aimed at conserving California’s ocean ecosystems. It requires creating a network of protected marine areas where human activities are managed to safeguard marine species and habitats. The goal is to ensure sustainable use of ocean resources, promote biodiversity, and maintain healthy, resilient marine environments for future generations. This act involves scientists, policymakers, and communities working together to designate and manage these protected areas effectively. Essentially, it helps balance human activities like fishing and recreation with the need to preserve marine life and ecosystems.
