Anacapa Island State Marine Conservation Area is an islands which protected by the state of California. There isn't any debris underwater. It is amazing!!! The weather before the survey was not very good. Rain and wind blew so hard. So we expected that there are much floated and drifted trash by strong current. However there isn't any trash underwater and sea surface. I am eager to continue this situation.

There isn't any trash and debris underwater on December 18, 2016. It's amazing!!


Anacapa Island State Marine Conservation Area is designated a Southern California Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. There are seals, huge big lobsters, many species of fishes and mollusks. It is good to see a great conserved marine ecosystem.
