Through Research, Education and Conservation PIER strives to
assure healthy, sustainable oceans for our future. We do all
this to develop the public's understanding and appreciation
for the ocean and its life, and to urge our audience and supporters
to act as stewards of the marine environment. Scientists at
PIER are conducting research on the movement of Giant Seabass
in the CINMS. Check out their website to learn more about this
work.

The Institute for Computational Earth System Science(ICESS),
located on the University of California, Santa Barbara campus,
provides an environment in which Earth and computer science
are strongly coupled. Our focus is on research and graduate
education in Earth sciences, with emphasis on processes governing
the environmental optics of the Earth. CINMS works with ICESS
scientists on a project called "Plumes and Blooms: Studying
the Color of the Santa Barbara Channel". Check out:

- The
Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act (HABHRCA)
was signed into law on November 13th, 1998, becoming P.L. 105-383.
The Act recognized that many of our nation's coastal areas suffer
from harmful algal blooms (HAB) and hypoxia each year, threatening
coastal ecosystems and endangering human health.http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/redtide/pdfs/habhrca_fact_sheet.pdf
