Summary
The state of California has thirty-four regions in the California Ocean Plans as Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) in an effort to preserve marine ecosystems [1]. They are regulated by the California Department of Fish and Game. In the Central Coast region, the Pacific Grove ASBS has 3.2 miles of coastline in Monterey County and lies entirely within the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. This area also contains the Pacific Grove Marine Gardens State Marine Conservation Area and Hopkins State Marine Reserve [2]
