10 Days to Go

April 25, 2022

To our donors, THANK YOU for supporting our project and helping us reach almost 30% of our goal so far!


Our team has made significant progress with our data analysis and has produced several graphs that visualize the relationships between the California Current System and its planktonic community. With your support, we will continue researching in order to gain a greater understanding of the California Current System and how changes in its environmental conditions may affect planktonic life.
