About Northern California Aquatic Management Association (NCAMA)

In November 1988 a small group of aquatic professionals gathered at the request of Greg Narramore, Aquatic Supervisor for the City of Sacramento to discuss the need for a specialized aquatic group in the Greater Sacramento Area. By early spring the group had thirty two agencies in attendance and had agreed to the name Northern California Aquatic Management Association (NCAMA).Today NCAMA has grown to encompass a larger geographic area that is centralized in the Sacramento area, but stretches to South Lake Tahoe, Redding, Davis, and Galt. It has formed a partnership with CPRS District II and its Board of Directors and has successfully added staff trainings, events, and activities for its membership.
