Conducting
Research in the Sanctuary
|
Directed
research projects, one of three identified by the NMS Program,
are those initiatives that are conducted cooperatively by outside
agencies or institutions and the Channel Islands National Marine
Sanctuary. As part of our mandate, we are to promote, coordinate,
and support the efforts of outside research groups whose work
increases our understanding of the Channel Islands biological
and cultural resources. Last year our research vessels were
at sea for more than 200 days conducting projects on seabirds,
marine mammals, kelp forests, oceanography, intertidal and geology
in and around the Sanctuary. These collaborative efforts have
been with the Marine Science Insitute of UCSB, the Navy, Scripps
Institute of Oceanography, National Geographic Society, USGS,
Humboldt State University and many others. We hope that you
inquire about how we can work together to identify and fill
the gaps' of knowledge that exist about the resources in the
Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The following forms
are intended to assist CINMS in maintaining consistency and
achieving the best possible results for your work.

out and submit via email.
Do
I need a permit?
The complimentary
Permit Application Forms (see below) may be printed and
used to craft permit applications, electronically or in
writing. In the future, we hope to offer a fully electronic
on-line application form as well.
At this time, electronic submission of permit applications,
in Microsoft Word or rich text format, is preferred.
Applications may be submitted via email to Danielle.Lipski@noaa.gov
