30x30 Conserved Areas, Marine

30x30 considers all California State Marine Protected areas conserved under the definition adopted in the 30x30 Pathways document.

These data include all of California's marine protected areas (MPAs) as defined January 1, 2019. This dataset reflects the Department of Fish and Wildlife's best representation of marine protected areas based upon current California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 632: Natural Resources, Division 1: FGC- DFG. This dataset is not intended for navigational use or defining legal boundaries.

For use in CA Nature, all overlapping areas have been removed so prevent incorrect area summaries.
