The San Diego Coastal Expedition

The San Diego Coastal Expedition is a two-part student-led research program to characterize the marine environment of the coast of San Diego County. In June and July, scientists participating in SDCoastEx I discovered a methane seep off the coast of San Diego ( Union Tribune Story , KPBS Story ), located a sunken whale and studied the physics and chemistry of the offshore environment. We also collected numerous animals that live on the seafloor and in the water column.[caption id="attachment_3528" align="alignleft" width="336" caption="Showing off my fresh catch (photo credit: Jim Wilkinson)."] [/caption] [More]
