While all of our surfing customers will be interested in this news, our surf brothers and sisters up in Northern California will be particularly intrigued:
After 7 years of planning and extensive public input, three marine sanctuaries off Central California issued a new joint management plan. The plan includes a 775 square mile expansion to include the Davidson Seamount, one of the largest known underwater mountains in U.S. coastal waters and home to a wide variety of marine species.
The management plan also includes prohibition of harmful discharges from cruise ships, restoration of the original limitation of motorized personal watercraft to four areas off the harbors, inclusion of a wintertime zone for tow-in surfing at the legendary surf break: Maverick’s , and efforts to reduce the introduction of non-native species.
