| This research is made possible through the cooperation of many groups
and individuals who collect samples, process data, and provide financial
support. Various agencies and individuals volunteer to take daily observations
which are sent to Scripps Institution of Oceanography to update computer records of the
shore stations database. These agencies are: National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration/National Ocean Survey, University of California at San
Diego, University of California at Davis, Humboldt State University,
Stanford University, University of Oregon, Santa Catalina Island Conservancy
in conjunction with the University of Southern California, California
Department of Fish and Game, Point Reyes Bird Observatory, Los Angeles
County, and the cities of Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Clemente, and Newport
Beach, California.
Current financial support for this program is provided by California Department of Boating and Waterways and the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System. Prior to 1994, financial support for data processing was provided by
the state of California through Scripps Institution of Oceanography
(1916-1949), then through the Marine Life Research Group of Scripps
Institution of Oceanography (1949-1993). Starting in 1989, partial support
was provided by both the state of California through the Marine Life
Research Group and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
through the National Ocean Survey (1989-1993). More recently, support
for data processing has been provided by the Joint Institute for Marine
Observations (JIMO), a cooperative agreement between Scripps Institution
of Oceanography and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(1993-1996). Partial support was again provided by the State of California
through the Marine Life Research Group and SIO Directors Office (1997-1998).
