The LA Times reported that today California officially has completed the U.S.’s largest marine preserve consisting of 848 square miles of undersea parks. After 12 years of work, 16% of state waters have been set aside as marine reserves, including 9% that are off-limits to fishing or gathering of any kind. It is the only network of marine reserves near a heavily populated coast. Learn more at: California’s marine reserve network now complete – latimes.com
