The South Central Coast district stretches from the north end of Santa Barbara County to the northern section of Los Angeles County (including the Santa Monica Mountains) at the Los Angeles City and Los Angeles County line. It includes the northern Channel Islands off the coasts of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties with the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary offshore. The district includes three coastal counties: Santa Barbara, Ventura, and northern Los Angeles. It also includes eight incorporated cities: Guadalupe, Goleta, Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Ventura, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and Malibu. The district also includes the Port of Hueneme, the only deep water port between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay.
