Famosa Slough State Marine Conservation Area (SMCA) is a marine protected area in San Diego in San Diego County on California’s south coast. It consists of a 25-acre wetland and a 12-acre natural channel connecting to the San Diego River estuary. It is flushed by salt water from the estuary as well as rainwater from the surrounding neighborhood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to Famosa Slough )〕 It is owned and maintained by the City of San Diego as a natural park. The SMCA covers .03 square miles. The SMCA protects marine life by limiting the removal of marine wildlife from within its borders. Famosa Slough SMCA prohibits take of all living marine resources except for take pursuant to habitat restoration, maintenance dredging and operation and maintenance of artificial structures is allowed inside the conservation area per any required federal, state and local permits, or as otherwise authorized by the department.〔(California Department of Fish and Game )〕 ==History== Famosa Slough SMCA is one of 36 new marine protected areas adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission in December, 2010 during the third phase of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative. The MLPAI is a collaborative public process to create a statewide network of protected areas along California’s coastline. The south coast’s new marine protected areas were designed by local divers, fishermen, conservationists and scientists who comprised the South Coast Regional Stakeholder Group. Their job was to design a network of protected areas that would preserve sensitive sea life and habitats while enhancing recreation, study and education opportunities.〔http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/mpa/scproject.asp〕 The south coast marine protected areas went into effect in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Famosa Slough State Marine Conservation Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
