EAC will represent environmental advocacy efforts happening in in West Marin. 

Major binocular and spotting scope companies including Out of This World from Mendocino along with new European optics companies Meopta and Sirui will join Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, Nikon, Kowa and Celestron. All of these vendors will be on hand to give advise, answer technical questions, offer products for sale and demonstration.
