Santa Cruz Island Reserve

28 Jun, 04 AM - 01 Jul, 08 AM

We are interested in making Santa Cruz Island the home base for our exploration of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and National Park. In order for the students to gain hands-on experience of the ocean science topics and issues they will have learned about on the mainland while staying at UCSB, we find it important for them to have an opportunity to stay on Santa Cruz Island. During this immersive field study, students will also be photo and video documenting their experiences with National Geographic Society Media Camp mentors. Science topics of interest for the entire two-week field study include: blue whale/ship strikes; global climate change and ocean acidification; island ecosystem recovery, marine reserves; and indigenous peoples (i.e. Chumash). We look to incorporate activities on Santa Cruz Island related to these science topics, such as a combination hike/kayak from Prisoners to Pelican; exploration of kelp forest ecology; REEF fish identification; and GPS/geo-caching activities. We have no intention of collecting any species, or introducing any new species or genotypes while on the island. Our stay on Santa Cruz Island would be for educational purposes only. We would invite the scientists in residence to share with us the work they are conducting on Santa Cruz Island to enrich and enhance our experience.
