MBNMS and Center for Ocean Solutions (COS) are hosting a Dec. 6 workshop at Monterey Conference Center, "Preparing for the Future: Climate Change and the Monterey Bay Shoreline." NOAA's Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Collaborates with AMP Public Television on New TV Show MBNMS and Access Monterey Peninsula (AMP) Public Television have collaborated to produce a new television series entitled Your Sanctuary. The one-hour pilot episode will air on Monday, October 31, at 7:00 PM to initiate the 52-episode series. It will be available on Comcast channel 27, AT&T channel 99, and via streaming at ampmedia.org.
Your Sanctuary is about connecting people with their national marine sanctuaries. The program will also feature the local coastal communities and the businesses dependent upon a healthy ocean, as well as the many fascinating organizations and people involved in ocean relationships.. (10/26/11) No visual evidence of oil found onboard S.S. Montebello During October 2011, a Unified Command led by the U.S. Coast Guard and California Department of Fish and Game's Office of Spill Prevention and Response assessed cargo and fuel tanks of the sunken ship S.S. Montebello, to determine if oil was present on board. The Unified Command determined that there is no substantial oil threat from the Montebello to California waters and shorelines.
