Research for Resilience on a Changing Planet - The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations

The ocean provides a bounty of essential life-supporting services.
Yet, a changing climate and increasing human uses are altering
marine ecosystems and their ability to continue to provide this
wealth of essential services. Off the coast of California, we are
lucky to have one of the worlds longest-running marine observation
programs, the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries
Investigations (CalCOFI), which has continuously and
comprehensively sampled the marine environment off the California
coast since 1949 to monitor the indicators and impacts of El Nino
and climate change and to support effective marine management. Join
marine ecologist and California Sea Grant extension specialist
Erin Satterthwaite as she tells the story of CalCOFI through a
series of case studies documenting how CalCOFI has been used to
understand and address human and natural impacts on marine life
along the California coast. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives
