The largest marine sanctuary in the continental U.S. starts at the ocean’s edge in San Francisco. It’s bigger than Yellowstone National Park. And it could use a little help.
The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary stretches from Marin County to the southern end of Big Sur and has a host of volunteer opportunities, from water quality monitoring to on-the-water kayaking naturalist, according to a press release Friday.
The sanctuary will also be introducing a variety of opportunities at visitor centers, the Sanctuary Exploration Center in Santa Cruz and the Coastal Discovery Center in San Simeon.
A webinar at 6 p.m. on Feb. 26 will offer in-depth information about the sanctuary’s ecosystem, upcoming training dates, and what each volunteer opportunity has to offer.
