The study area includes approximately 76 miles of coastline and 200,000 acres of land. It is entirely within Santa Barbara County, CA, and extends from Coal Oil Point in Isla Vista to Point Sal, at the northern boundary of Vandenberg Air Force Base. The study area extends inland to the watershed crests except in the Santa Ynez valley, where it includes only Vandenberg Air Force Base.
