Channel Islands Live (CHIL) is back after a five year hiatus! Our park's flagship interpretive program, an interactive live underwater broadcast from Anacapa Landing Cove, has returned in partnership with NOAA Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and explore.org. Join Ranger Reuven underwater in the kelp forests of Anacapa Landing Cove in this recording of Wednesday's program, and keep an eye out for CHIL livestreams on future Wednesdays, pending weather! | Channel Islands National Park

Dive into the vibrant marine ecosystems of @channelislandsnps with our Channel Islands Live distance learning program! When weather and logistics allow, we broadcast underwater interpretive programming from the kelp forests of Anacapa Island. Tune in live Wednesdays around 11:30 AM through @exploreorg’s YouTube channel and website, or on our park Facebook page!

With spring approaching, Channel Islands National Park needs to be on your bucket list! The spring is a great time to visit because the wildflowers start to bloom, the hillsides turn green again, and the blowholes (water shooting out of caves) are more likely to be observed! Remember that with recent firings of national park staff across the USA these areas are understaffed. When visiting we all need to do our part to lessen the burden on the park rangers. Don’t complete hikes or activities that
