The Catalina Marine Society musters professional and
volunteer resources to study and understand the marine
environment of Santa Catalina Island and the entire Southern
California Bight in which she lies. The goals of the Society
are to promote, facilitate and distribute studies and insights
into the physical and biological dynamics that both comprise
the marine environment or that otherwise affect the
underwater regions.
The Society’s activities may include but are not limited to:
organizing and conducting scientific meetings and
workshops; sponsoring experiments and data collections;
providing analytical support to researchers; sponsoring
presentations to professional societies; and, organizing and
publishing marine studies. These endeavors are to be
accomplished through the marshalling of resources
contributed by volunteer researchers and supporting
members.
The Catalina Marine Society is a 501(c)(3) organization
