Community Focused Environmental Resource and Management Information for
the Channel
Islands Region
The mission of the Marine Educators' Regional Alliance (MERA),
coordinated by the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS),
is to act as a catalyst to focus attention on the extraordinary diversity
of the transition zone between the southern and northern California coastal
and marine ecosystems. MERA will facilitate development and implementation
of educational programs that foster stewardship, understanding of and support
for, as well as participation in, the ecologically sustainable use and
enjoyment of this special region.
