Natural History Wanderings

Do you love to walk on the beach?! Would you like to learn more about the science and importance of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)? Then join us on the Marin MPA Watch Volunteer Team! The next Marin MPA Watch Volunteer Training will be held at Limantour Beach on Saturday, July 27, 2024.

The Marin MPA Watch trains volunteers to observe and collect unbiased data on coastal and marine resource use at Agate County Beach, Corte Madera Marsh, Drakes Beach, and Limantour Beach. Data is used to inform the management, enforcement, and science of California’s MPAs. Volunteers learn about the coastal environment, become “community scientists” and stewards of the area, and generate quantities of monitoring data that would not otherwise be possible.
