In the Spotlight
National Oceans Month
"Look at me - I'm planking by the sea!" Winning photo caption from our Facebook contest.President Obama proclaimed June to be National Ocean Month, calling upon American's to take action to protect, conserve, and restore our oceans, coasts, and the Great Lakes. The 1,100 miles of California coastline from Oregon to Mexico is one of the most popular scenic routes in the world, and just off-shore are over 20,000 small islands, rocks, exposed reefs, and pinnacles that make up the California Coastal National Monument, managed by the BLM. Many local communities partner with BLM to serve as a focal point and visitor contact locations for the national monument. Visit these Gateways on your next trip to the coast to see and observe not only the ocean, but the animals and their habitat protected by the national monument designation. - Photo exhibit by Bob Wick, BLM

BLM manages 15.2 million acres of public lands in California - nearly 15% of the state's land area - and 1.6 million acres in northwestern Nevada. BLM California also administers 47 million acres of subsurface mineral estate underlying federal surface land, 2.5 million acres underlying privately owned land, and 592,000 acres of Native American tribal land where BLM has trust responsibility for mineral operations. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
