Feb. 6, 2024 - Research and Sponsored is pleased to announce that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program, via subaward from National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF), has awarded $375,000 to Russell Bradley, Director of CSUCI Santa Rosa Research Station and Art Professor Matthew Furmanski's project: “High-Impact and Large Marine Debris Removal throughout the National Marine Sanctuary System.”
This project will continue the removal and sustainable disposal efforts of marine debris on the Northern Channel Islands. In addition, this project will help identify new accumulation sites and conduct removals on identified high-impact beaches. The project will engage with the local community and CSUCI student population to create volunteer opportunities that will expose students to organizations such as the National Park Service (NPS), NOAA, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS), and NMSF.
