King Tides have arrived in California! King tides are extreme high tide events that occur as the result of the combined gravitational forces of the sun and moon, providing a glimpse of what rising sea levels could look like in the coming years. Take some photos from January 21-22 or February 6-8 and submit them to our statewide King Tides Photo Initiative site. For more information about King Tides, or where to view them, click here.

In commemoration of the 4th Annual Underwater Parks Day, join Santa Monica Baykeeper at a volunteer training session for our brand new program, MPA Watch. This is a hands on citizen monitoring program on our boat which will gather data to determine the efficacy of our new Marine Protected Areas, as well as provide an opportunity to reach out to the fishing & recreational water-sports communities about the new regulations and benefits of Southern California’s new Underwater Parks. For more information please contact Brian Meux at bmeux@smbaykeeper.org, or call (310) 305-9645 ext. 107.
