Center to Offer Unprecedented Look at San Diego Bay

摘要

The San Diego Board of Port Commissioners in San Deigo, California, has approved funding for a new interdisciplinary research center to study San Diego Bay, its watershed and the area's beaches and coasts. The Center for Bay and Coastal Dynamics will bring together geologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California (UC), San Diego, and ecologists from San Diego State University (SDSU) to study the complex environmental processes influencing San Diego Bay and surrounding coastal waters. The port awarded the researchers 310,000 in funding for new equipment to map the bay, and additional support was secured to develop related project-based educational programs through Birch Aquarium at Scripps.
