Partnering to Protecting Coastal Areas

The climate crisis is felt throughout the world, but the western part of this continent has particularly seen the effects of climate change. Recently, the Tribal Marine Stewards Network was launched to manage ocean and coastal territories in California. The network is an alliance of Tribal Nations working collaboratively to protect and restore coastal and marine ecosystems for future generations.

Megan ROcha is Executive Director of the Resighini Ranchería, one of the four founding tribes of the network And Michael Esgro is a Senior Biodiversity Program Manager and the Tribal Liaison at the state of California’s Ocean Protection Council. They joined the podcast to talk about the Tribal Marine Stewards Network and the management of California coastal land.
