In 1938, Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands became Channel Islands National Monument, allowing for the protection, preservation, and restoration of the islands. It was March 5, 1980, when Pres. Jimmy Carter signed the law that designated the five islands now known as the Channel Islands, their submerged lands, and waters within 1 nautical mile of each island as Channel Islands National Park. Thirty years later, the National Park Service has made great strides in protecting the natural ecology and restoring plants native to the island. A park ranger (below) assists in operating the crane, greets visitors to the island, and educates visitors on the history and how to be good stewards during their stay.
