Volunteers needed at refuge

The Marine Life Refuge Project is seeking volunteers to monitor the

protection of marine animals on various days in March. The program

relies on volunteers to protect sea stars, hermit crabs, sea urchins

and other marine life. The Refuge Project is dedicated to the

protection, preservation and education of marine life found in Orange

County tide-pool areas. Volunteers are being recruited in Laguna

Beach at Crystal Cove State Park. They will receive training. Anyone

Interested in volunteering can contact Marine Life Refuge Program
