Funding the MLPA
The Resources Legacy Fund Foundation is providing $30 million over six years, 2008-2013, in support of CCMI activities. Other Foundations supporting elements of the activities described here include the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Marisla Foundation, the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment, and the Annenberg Foundation.
The goals of the California Coastal and Marine Initiative (CCMI) are to bring about ecosystem-based conservation of coastal and marine resources in California through more effective statewide policies and programs, and to serve as a springboard for similar efforts on the west coast of North America and nationally.
In 2004, the MLPA Initiative, a public-private partnership with The Resources Agency, the Department of Fish and Game, and the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation, was launched with the goal of designing and establishing the statewide network of MPAs required by the 1999 MLPA. The first phase of the Initiative, which enjoyed the support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the Marisla Foundation, culminated in the designation of the first of four regional networks of MPAs.July 2009 URGENT update:
