We are a Santa Cruz based nonprofit committed to research, education, and policy surrounding marine mammals. We offer a variety of courses throughout the year.
The mission of the California Ocean Alliance is to conduct world-class marine research which leads directly to sound policy decisions that safeguard the oceans and allow marine mammals to thrive into the next century. Our vision is for COA scientists to be directly integrated with those we strive to affect, including students, community leaders, educators, and decision makers. Our goal at the California Ocean Alliance is to inspire young scientists by providing unique research and educational experiences. Through a combination of field , online, and self-directed approaches, we offer students the opportunity to engage with leaders in the field to learn about marine mammal natural history and conservation.
