Do you live anywhere between Los Angeles and San Diego (or on Catalina Island)? This post is for you!
THIS TUESDAY, the California Fish and Game Commission will be reviewing key marine protection petitions that will impact our coastline for years to come. This meeting is our LAST CHANCE to advocate for protecting the coastline we call home.
Swipe to learn more about the petitions under review at this meeting and how YOU can use your voice to make a real difference!
RSVP for the hearing @ the LINK IN BIO or tinyurl.com/SanClementeMPAHearing
SOCAL: One week from today is the final opportunity for the public to weigh in on the future of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the South Coast.
The MPAs currently under review include Point Dume (Malibu), Farnsworth (Catalina), Point Vicente, Laguna Beach, and Cabrillo (San Diego).
Over the past few weeks, we’ve attended multiple public hearings — and one thing has become very clear: the conversation is often dominated by fishing industry voices, while perspectives from science, Indigenous communities, ocean recreation, conservation, diving, and everyday Californians remain underrepresented.
Our ocean belongs to all of us. Healthy marine ecosystems support biodiversity, recreation, coastal economies, climate resilience, and ways of life that make California special.
If the ocean has ever meant something to you — whether through surfing, diving, tidepooling, wildlife, research, photography, or simply knowing these places exist — we hope you’ll join us in San Clemente on Tuesday to speak up for the future of our coast.

Meet Waffles 🦭 a 2 year old harbour seal who’s become a local legend with divers in Laguna Beach.
Young seals are basically puppies - curious, playful and zero respect for personal space!
Spots like this need protection. There’s a petition by @lagunabluebelt right now to extend Laguna’s Marine Protected Area.
Quick reminder: seals are wild animals. Never chase or touch them - always let them come to you. Waffles just happens to have her own rules. 😂

🆘 URGENT call for all hands on deck approach for this harbor seal pup. See video for details. Call @seaworldsandiego Rescue hotline 800-541-7325 only if you have eyes on! Rescue is only possible if she is washed ashore on Children’s Pool or a sandy beach such as South Casa behind CP.
Proud to see our LetonPower Turbo S Pro in action 🌊
Huge thanks to @lensofcoop for sharing these amazing shots of the Turbo S Pro mounted on his underwater photography setup. It’s great to see it being used in real diving environments to capture stunning underwater moments.
Appreciate the support and trust 🤝

One of my favorite parts about diving Catalina is never knowing what you’ll find.
This giant is a sheep crab, a massive crustacean that can span nearly three feet across. Most divers swim right past them because they spend the day tucked deep inside caves and crevices along the reef.
But every once in a while, one steps out into the open and you get a glimpse of one of the ocean’s ancient residents moving quietly through the kelp forest #kelpforest #sheepcrab #marineprotectedarea
