What's New?
It’s the best oyster you’ve (probably) never tasted. For years, many people assumed it was gone from Tomales Bay altogether. But one day, Joe Newman, a Developmental Technician in the Aquatic Resources Group (ARG) at the University of California, Davis, Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML), got a call from a local oyster grower, who jokingly told him to “grab a bottle of hot sauce” and head to a nearby boat launch.
My name is Tyler Stanciu, and I’ve just wrapped up my third year at the Santa Rosa Junior College and am now preparing for my transition to UC Davis this upcoming fall, where I will be completing my undergraduate degree in Animal Science. I plan to specialize in behavior, although my interests also overlap with ecology and evolution.
Hi, my name is Miranda Mintonye, and I am a returning third-year student at Santa Rosa Junior College, majoring in Environmental Science with a focus on habitat restoration and invasive species removal. This summer, I had the immense privilege of being mentored by Luis Morales, the Land Steward at Bodega Marine Reserve.
Science Meets The Sea
California’s coastal regions are a cornerstone of its economy and cultural identity. However, evolving challenges like climate change and resource extraction demand innovative, cross-disciplinary solutions. The UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute, with its premier facilities and strategic location, is uniquely equipped to address these issues, forging vital partnerships to ensure the sustainable management of our invaluable coastal and marine resources.
Major Developments
Our Marine and Coastal Science Major emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of marine sciences and hands-on experiences as interns or researchers.
Coastal Connections
Undergraduates can spend a Summer Session or 9 days before Fall Quarter studying on the coast in exciting, integrated courses taught at the Bodega Marine Laboratory.
Our Spaces, Your Science
Visiting researchers can utilize on-site reserve, laboratory, library and housing resources at the Bodega Marine Laboratory and Reserve.
