The Coastal Fund provided a grand total of $156,202 to 24 projects.
Three projects from the fall funding cycle are examining the characteristics and lasting effects of ash and mudslides from the 2017 Thomas Fire and 2018 Montecito debris flow. Labs from the Bren School, the Marine Science Institute and the Earth Science department are doing important work investigating how our local coastal ecosystems continue to be influenced by fire and mudslides, from phytoplankton in the Santa Barbara Channel to oysters in the Carpenteria Salt Marsh. We are proud to support the work these labs are doing to learn about the nature of these disasters and develop resilience in our community.
We are also proud to continue to support undergraduate internships with organizations like the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER), Coal Oil Point Reserve and Your Children’s Trees, as well as empowering undergraduate students to be leaders in projects of their own design!
