A public service film produced by The Baum Foundation, "A Sheltered Sea" illuminates the pioneering conservation action taking place along the coast of California as the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) is implemented to form this country's first statewide network of marine protected areas. Created as a forward-looking response to long-term overfishing and new pressures from pollution and climate change, the MLPA brings together diverse stakeholders - fishermen, conservationists, government, divers, scientists, and ocean-loving citizens - to set aside marine refuges akin to our country's national parks.

Livelihoods, the future of marine species, and coastal access hang in the balance, awaiting the outcome. The film explains why everyone holds a genuine stake in this process and tells how people can participate in this historic effort to conserve California's ocean as a public trust.

The MLPA is a front for land grabs by eco-terrorist groups like PETA. Why trust people that teach kids how to make bombs?
