Also refered to as CINMS, the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary contains spectacularly rich and diverse marine life. With a variety of habitats including kelp forests, sandy bottom, and open ocean, it is home to diverse fish and invertebrate communities, serves as part of the migratory route of whales, and as feeding and breeding grounds for seabirds and marine mammals. Located offshore of Southern California, the sanctuary is adjacent to the growing counties of Ventura and Santa Barbara. The Sanctuary is the grave of numerous historical ships, lost at sea. These shipwreck sites are protected by law and are surveyed and monitored by archaeologist. This map displays a sample of the wrecks within CINMS boundaries as well as the statistical data on marine mammals and fish assemblages. The Chumash were the first people to inhabit the Channel Islands. The islands were first visited by Europeans in 1542. In the 1800s the islands served as a location for sea otter, seal, and sea lion hunting. Subsequently, the land was cultivated for ranching and farming purposes. The sanctuary was designated on Sept. 22, 1980, and encompasses 1,470 square statute miles (1,110 square nautical miles). In 2003, 12 marine protected areas were designated by the California Department of Fish and Game Commission. In 2007 several of the marine protected areas were extended to the federal boundary and one new area was created. Numerous shipwrecks are located in waters surrounding the islands. The sanctuary is an important area for recreational and commercial use, including diving, kayaking, fishing, boating, wildlife viewing, shipping transit, and For more information about CINMS please visit: http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/science/condition/cinms/abstract.html CHANNEL ISLANDS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY Marine Mammal Life & Fish Diversity Map Bottlenose Dolphin Number Sighted G F 1 - 4 G F 5 - 8 G F 9 - 15 G F 16 - 30 G F 31 - 50 Blue Whale Number sighted \ 1 \ 2 \ 3 - 4 \ 5 - 6 \ 7 - 8 Fish Assemblage Survey Per transect !
