Monterey Bay: Exploring the Nation's Largest Marine Sancutary

by Mike Rigsby, Michael Rigsby, David Wrobel (Photographs)

Officially established in 1992, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) is the hidden jewel of California's central cost. In this new book, OPEN WATERS: EXPLORING THE DEPTHS OF THE MONTEREY BAY NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY, author Mike 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."
