Treasures of our Local Ocean

Dec 3, 2009

Ventura County UCCE has recently produced a newspaper supplement about our local ocean – the Santa Barbara Channel Region. The supplement was written for kids, by kids; however, most adults will also find much to learn inside.

The youth involved wrote about many subjects, including:

  • The local marine environment
  • Local harbors
  • Oil development
  • Mariculture (farming of sea life)
  • Commercial fishing
  • Recreation fisheries
  • Ecotourism and recreational activities
  • Coastal arts
  • Careers
  • Ocean stewardship

This great resource can be found on our website. We also have hard copies available in our office. Please contact us in advance for large orders, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
