Monterey Bay: Exploring America's Largest Marine Sanctuary

Officially established in 1992, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) is the hidden jewel of California's central coast. In this new book, MONTEREY BAY: EXPLORING AMERICA'S LARGEST MARINE SANCTUARY, author Michael Rigsby explores the history and habitation of this 276-mile stretch of federally protected shoreline. "In the open waters, the sanctuary preserves not a place, but a space where time and change continue at their age-old measure, unencumbered by the rhythms of man."
