Capstone Projects
To meet the challenges of marine conservation, the Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC) was established at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) in May 2001. Its goals are:
- Investigation: Assess the state of marine ecosystems now and in the past and develop predictive models for the future
- Education: Train new marine biodiversity and conservation scientists in the United States and around the world
- Integration: Develop novel interdisciplinary approaches linking the biological, physical, social and informatic sciences
- Communication: Increase public understanding of scientific issues and provide sound scientific analyses to policy makers
- Application: Design technically sophisticated, regionally appropriate strategies to prevent and reverse biodiversity collapse
