Changes to Duxbury Reef State Marine Conservation Area: There's a proposal to expand and strengthen the Marine Protected Area at Duxbury Reef in California. As with most conservation issues, the policy process gets complicated and confusing, making it difficult to understand what's actually being proposed and what the opportunities may be. Ashley Eagle-Gibbs helps us understand what's being proposed and what potential compromises can help protect this unique habitat and all the ways people like to enjoy the area.
