An in-person visit to Channel Islands can be difficult: it requires complex logistics, including travel by boat, and the terrain is rugged. Channel Islands Live brings the park to you through a variety of interactive broadcasts and webcams. You can learn about this unique island chain, the threats confronting it, and how our national park is protecting and restoring this diverse ecosystem. Interactive broadcasts include Live Dives through towering kelp forests and Live Hikes to the Anacapa Light Station or through the region's largest western gull rookery. During interactive broadcasts participating visitors and students can to talk to rangers and ask questions.
