With settlement funds from the Torch Platform Irene Oil Spill, the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and LiMPETS has established three new rocky intertidal sites ranging from Pismo Beach to Los Angleles County: Shell Beach, Coal Oil Point (at left) and Point Fermin. LiMPETS training has been provided to 15 new teachers in Santa Barabara area counties to participate in monitoring these new sites.
