A draft of “The California Collaborative Approach: Marine Protected Areas Partnership Plan” (Partnership Plan) is now open for public and tribal comment, ending July 18, 2014 and July 25, 2014, respectively. The Partnership Plan is an overarching guidance document, developed under the leadership of Ocean Protection Council, that promotes a partnership-based model for managing California’s network of MPAs. Focused on a shared vision of linking agencies and organizations across geographic and jurisdictional scales, the Partnership Plan aims to tap into the existing energy, expertise, and resources at the local scale through a network of state-wide County Collaboratives.
