You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Two Harbors Isthmus, Santa Catalina Island.jpg|thumb|[[Two Harbors, California|Two Harbors Isthmus]] in [[Santa Catalina Island (California)|Santa Catalina Island]]; on the right, or northeast, is Isthmus Cove (aka Banning Harbor) and on the left, or southwest, is Catalina (or Cat) Harbor.]]
'''Cat Harbor State Marine Conservation Area''' (SMCA) is a [[marine protected area]] that includes offshore, island marine habitat at [[Santa Catalina Island, California|Catalina Island]] off [[California]]'s south coast. The SMCA covers ((Convert|0.24|sqmi)). The SMCA protects marine life by limiting the removal of marine wildlife from within their borders. Cat Harbor SMCA prohibits take of all living marine resources except: recreational take of finfish by hook-and-line or by spearfishing, squid by hook-and-line, and lobster and sea urchin is allowed; commercial take of sea cucumbers by diving only, and spiny lobster and sea urchin is allowed. Aquaculture of finfish pursuant to any required state permits is allowed.

==Activities==
Take pursuant to maintenance of artificial structures inside the conservation area is allowed pursuant to any required federal, state and local permits, or as otherwise authorized by the department.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mlpa/scmpas_list.asp |title=California Department of Fish and Game |access-date=2013-02-12 |archive-date=2013-01-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130124045304/http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mlpa/scmpas_list.asp |url-status=dead ))</ref>

==History==
Cat Harbor SMCA is one of 36 new marine protected areas adopted by the [[California Fish and Game Commission]] in December 2010 during the third phase of the [[Marine Life Protection Act]] Initiative. The MLPAI is a collaborative public process to create a statewide network of protected areas along California’s coastline.

The south coast’s new marine protected areas were designed by local divers, fishermen, conservationists and scientists who comprised the South Coast Regional Stakeholder Group. Their job was to design a network of protected areas that would preserve sensitive sea life and habitats while enhancing recreation, study and education opportunities.

The south coast marine protected areas went into effect in 2012.

==Geography and natural features==
Cat Harbor SMCA protects habitat within Cat Harbor on [[Santa Catalina Island (California)|Santa Catalina Island]], California. This area contains [[Zostera marina|eelgrass habitat]], and affords recreational opportunities

This area includes the waters below the mean high tide line on the west side of Catalina Island northward of a straight line connecting Pin Rock:

((Coord|33|25.50|N|118|30.28|W|region:US-CA_type:landmark|name=3rd corner)) and Cat Head Point ((Coord|33|25.32|N|118|30.76|W|region:US-CA_type:landmark|name=4th corner)).

==Habitat and wildlife==
This area contains eelgrass habitat, and affords recreational opportunities.

==Recreation and nearby attractions==
Catalina Island and its MPAs support world class diving along with numerous hiking, diving and snorkeling, kayaking, fishing and boating activities.

==Scientific monitoring==
As specified by the Marine Life Protection Act, select marine protected areas along California’s south coast are being monitored by scientists to track their effectiveness and learn more about ocean health. Similar studies in marine protected areas located off of the [[Santa Barbara Channel Islands]] have already detected gradual improvements in fish size and number.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/channel_islands/pdfs/handout_caselle.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-12-06 |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100531194040/http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/channel_islands/pdfs/handout_caselle.pdf |archivedate=2010-05-31 ))</ref>
