Karina Nielsen. Biology, is now serving on the science advisory team of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative to reexamine and redesign California's Marine Preserve Areas to increase their coherence and effectiveness at protecting the state's marine life, habitat, and ecosystems. To help achieve this goal, the MLPA Initiative was created with an initial pilot project along the central coast of California. The second phase of the MLPA Initiative is focused on the north central coast, from Alder Creek in Mendocino County to Pigeon Point in San Mateo County. As part of a science sub-team, she is meeting with regional stakeholder groups as they develop their proposals for marine protected area sites in the region. "California is really at the cutting edge in terms of marine conservation efforts nationally," she says.
