Arrival and Departure: SRIRS staff will meet you at either the Ventura Harbor or the Bechers Bay pier or airstrip on Santa Rosa Island when you arrive. The research station staff will give you an orientation upon arrival. Please sign in and out of the research station upon arrival and departure for all activities during your stay (located next to the main entrance door into the bunkhouse). We ask that you keep the research station clean during your stay and leave it in as good (or better) condition as you found it. Basic cleaning supplies (broom, spray bottles, etc.) are in the laundry room. To uphold and support our request, the group leader will be given a cleaning check list (PDF, 178KB) as a guide for cleaning the facility both during the visit and before departure. You will be charged $50 per hour if cleanup by the research station staff is required following your departure.
