Recent data shows the Blue Ribbon task force is considering shrinking the areas off of the Palos Verdes peninsula that will be protected and will then make some reserves larger in other parts of the South Coast Region. Regardless of which proposed map you support, the creation of MPA's on the Palos Verdes peninsula is crucial for the sustainability of the region. If you support the creation of MPA's in any form "Map 1,2 or 3" on the Palos Verdes peninsula please write to: MLPAComments@resources.ca.gov, with your concerns.
