Enjoy the Coast!

We hope you enjoy these pictures of the coast. This project has been a lot of work for us and we enjoy hearing about how you are using this site.

We are donating any revenue derived from the commercial rights to these photographs to the California Coastal Protection Network (CCPN). Any revenue derived from these rights will be used to fund non-profit coastal protection work.

To protect these rights, it is necessary for us to limit the reproduction of these photographs to the terms of this license, or any other license that we may grant to you. Our intent is for the public to have unrestricted access to these photographs for nonprofit use in protecting the coast. For all other uses, and with respect to any financial gain that may result from the use of these photos, CCPN will be the beneficiary of any financial interests derived from them.

Copies of/or links to any publications resulting from work conducted under this permit shall be submitted Kacy Cooper, MBNMS Permit Coordinator (Kacy.Cooper@noaa.gov). Additionally, the permittees are required to acknowledge research activities occurred within the sanctuaries and under permit during any media coverage (press releases, video/photo, social media, or other means).
Any reproduction or other use of these specifically tagged photographs must comply with this requirement.
