DESCRIPTION:The National Marine Sanctuary System was created in 1972 to ensure 
 protection and management of our nation’s outstanding natural, ecological 
 and cultural features of special underwater areas. They range from American 
 Samoa to Florida Keys with five on the West Coast, California’s Channel 
 Islands being the oldest. Altogether, they comprise more than 150,000 
 square miles of ocean and Great Lakes waters.\n\nThese sanctuaries preserve 
 habitats and the plants and animals they host alongside uses such as 
 fishing and recreation. They are managed to promote research and education 
 as well as the safeguarding of resources. \n\nNick Ingram, Education 
 Specialist with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Center will 
 share his knowledge and enthusiasm for the system as well as covering the 
 role the marine sanctuaries play to ensure the conservation of our coastal 
 resources for generations to come. \n\nOur Monterey Bay Sanctuary 
 encompasses 6,094 square miles of ocean with 276 miles of shoreline in five 
 counties from Marin to San Luis Obispo and is a treasure trove of 
 diversity, known as the “Serengeti of the Sea”.\n\nNick studied 
 fisheries biology at Humboldt State and spent several years as a field 
 biologist before switching to Marine Science education for NOAA. He is an 
 avid fisherman, diver, kayaker and hiker as well as being a talented artist 
 whose work is inspired by his love of the ocean.\n\nWhen: Thursday, May 
 17th at 7:00 pm. Come at 6:30 for healthy snacks and socializing with other 
 ocean-loving folks.\n\nWhere: The Live Oak (Green) Grange Hall at 1900 17th 
 Ave. near Capitola Road in Santa Cruz.\n\nFree. Donations appreciated. 
 \n\nAll are welcome. Tell your friends.\n\nParking is limited.\n
