Here in LA we are so fortunate that it is February and we can walk down the beach barefoot. What better way to appreciate this great fortune than to head to the beach? Don’t forget to bring your camera because your photos could win cool prizes in the 2013 Winter MPA Photo Contest!
LA Waterkeeper (LAW) is hosting a photo contest for photos taken of LA County’s new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). MPAs are underwater parks where consumptive activities (such as fishing) are prohibited or restricted, but where non-consumptive activities like surfing, swimming and snorkeling are allowed. MPAs took effect in LA County January 1, 2012. (Map)
Want to take pictures of the MPAs from the water? Join us for a MPA Watch boat trip! During these 4-5 hour trips, volunteers and staff travel from Marina Del Rey to one of LA County’s MPAs collecting data and enjoying the scenery. Check out the calendar for trip dates. For more information contact Michael Quill, (310) 394-6162 ext. 113, mquill@lawaterkeeper.org.
PLEASE SEND ALL PHOTO SUBMISSIONS, RELEASE FORMS AND INQUIRIES TO: Amanda Gruen, AGRUEN@LAWATERKEEPER.ORG. Include your name, contact information, a signed LAW photo contest agreement, the location of the photo and the date you took the photo in your email. All entries must be received by 11:55pm, March 21, 2013.
