The MLPA North Central Coast Study Region boundary is depicted on this map and includes state waters out to 3 nautical miles along the mainland and around the Farallon islands. The shoreward study region boundary was drawn under the Golden Gate bridge to exclude San Francisco Bay (a separate MLPA study region). The following estuaries or lagoons were included in the study region (based on the presence of salt/brackish vegetation and periodic opening to the sea): Garcia River, Gualala River, Russian River, Bodega Harbor, Estero Americano, Estero San Antonio, Tomales Bay, Drakes Estero, Bolinas Lagoon, Rodeo Lagoon, and Pescadero Marsh.There are 13 existing California state marine protected areas in the North Central Coast Study Region which are defined in California Code of Regulations (CCR) - Section 632 (b).
