Yes, we will follow the import guidelines. The California marine protected areas are basically underwater national parks. They have certain fishing restrictions. The more visible these areas are to the public the better, since they are often overlooked or unknown to exist. It is not a huge dataset, but the areas to cover the entire length of the CA coast. See summary map: https://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/mpa/mpa_summary.asp
Since we are doing updates to Channel Islands National Park, we feel that the Channel Islands MPAs should be included in our updates. But, if we do the Channel Islands MPAs, we should be doing all California MPAs. I've been in contact with the data steward for these areas and he agrees. Now checking with the OSM community.
