Coal Oil Point Reserve

One of the best remaining examples of a coastal-strand environment
in Southern California, the University of California Natural
Reserve System's (NRS) Coal Oil Point Reserve protects a wide
variety of coastal and estuarine habitats. Thousands of migratory
birds visit throughout the year. Located adjacent to the UC Santa
Barbara campus, the reserve provides a unique and accessible
research and teaching resource, which is used by many university
courses, including botany, ecology, biodiversity field methods,
natural history, marine biology, invertebrate zoology, and
environmental studies. Series: "UC Natural Reserve System"
