Trailer: "The Southern Passage"--Why California needs Marine Protected Areas

The Baum Foundation and Coyote Films have completed their second short film, "A Sheltered Sea—The Southern Passage", about the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative. The film highlights the activities taking place in the South Coast region from Point Conception to Mexico. The Southern Passage features the collective benefits and challenges of creating a network of underwater parks, or Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), that protect and sustain marine ecosystems and shows how MPAs can positively affect all people, from environmental groups to the fishing industry alike. Despite the challenges facing the region, the film speaks to the importance of setting aside these areas to protect and sustain our ocean heritage for future generations.
