Kenneth S. Norris Rancho Marino Reserve

05 Oct, 01 PM - 09 Oct, 12 AM

Since 1999, the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO), has conducted long-term, large scale monitoring of kelp forests along the central coast. The purpose of this program is to describe the geographic patterns and dynamics of kelp forest ecosystems and to explore the environmental and ecological processes (including human activities) that determine these patterns. The program provides ecologists, managers and policymakers with baseline information on the state of and changes in these ecosystems. Over the course of this program, the geographic scope of the monitoring project has expanded throughout the central coast through the collaborative efforts of MBNMS and CDF&G. The extent of the monitoring program as of the summer of 2006 can be viewed at http://www.piscoweb.org/subtidal/subtidal/pages/sitemap.php#year=2006.
