Episode Details

In Laguna Beach, California, a push to expand the marine protected area (MPA) to ban fishing along the entire coastline is gaining traction. Advocates, including diver Jordan Manning and the Laguna Bluebelt Coalition, cite thriving kelp forests and booming marine life within the current MPA. However, local fishermen like Chris Bogseth argue that the expansion could strain other reefs, hurt their business, and erode the areas fishing culture. State wildlife officials are now reviewing a petition launched by the coalition, with both sides sharing a common goal of preserving the ocean for future generations.
