Who Are We?

Orange County Marine Protected Area Council

The Orange County Marine Protected Area Council (OCMPAC) is a collaboration of city and county officials, institutional representatives, environmental consultants, academic faculty and nonprofit organization members. Our goal is to set the model for localized implementation of marine conservation efforts through regional communication and cooperation. OCMPAC accomplishments have included county wide signage, enforcement trainings, teacher workshops, research management and education programs.
