Friends Of Cabrillo Marine Aquarium

YOUTH LIVING NEAR THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES FACE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES LIKE NOISE, TRAFFIC, AND POOR AIR AND WATER QUALITY, YET RARELY HAVE ACCESS TO CAREERS THAT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. THE YOUNG SCIENTISTS PROGRAM CREATES A PATHWAY TO WELL-PAYING CAREERS IN SCIENCE, RESEARCH, AND OCEAN CONSERVATION. JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BEGIN BY DEVELOPING RESEARCH PROJECTS FROM HYPOTHESIS TO EXPERIMENTATION USING ADVANCED LAB EQUIPMENT. THEY PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS THROUGH SCIENTIFIC POSTERS AND TALKS AT AN AQUARIUM-HOSTED SYMPOSIUM AND HELP INTERPRET THEIR WORK TO VISITORS. AT THE NEXT LEVEL, COLLEGE STUDENTS SERVE AS PAID INTERNS ON CONSERVATION RESEARCH PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE WHITE ABALONE CAPTIVE BREEDING PROGRAM LED BY BODEGA MARINE LABS AT UC DAVIS AND FUNDED BY NOAA.
