Ready for the Next Step: Underrepresented & Minority Undergrads Wrap Up Their California Sea Grant Internships
The year-long internships focus on kelp recovery, but the opportunity allows students to gain new experiences in science. For some, it’s helping to launch new careers.
The story in the data
Marine science interns turn to storytelling to clarify the numbers behind hypoxia in California
California Sea Grant’s Role in Creating the MPA Network
The state’s unique network of marine protected areas extends for over a thousand miles and protects California’s coastal and marine ecosystems holistically
Researchers are studying how oyster reefs and eelgrass can fight coastal erosion in California
Living shorelines can help combat erosion caused by sea level rise. A new study investigates what approaches work best.
California Sea Grant Welcomes Binational Climate Fellow
Through a new fellowship, Meliza Le Alvarado will improve access to coastal resilience science for communities around the San Diego-Northern Baja California region.
Droughts are Shifting Migration Patterns in Already Endangered Russian River Coho Salmon
Lower flows and warming water temperatures are creating a potentially deadly timing mismatch for young salmon headed to sea
Scientists study an unexpected climate change problem: Rising groundwater levels
Already, water tables in some areas are inching up. This could make coastal regions more prone to flooding. But there are more insidious consequences, too.
Study finds coralline algae are threatened by the dual stressors of ocean acidification and warming
These hard algae look similar to coral and are ecologically and economically important to kelp forest ecosystems
Ocean acidification can pose a challenge to abalone aquaculture. Seaweed can help
Growing dulse alongside abalone could have big benefits for aquaculture
