Moss Landing Marine Laboratories


An inside look at marine research


Walk the Bay trip participants had a special inside look at one of the most fascinating scientific research centers on the Monterey Bay. Thanks to Johnny Machado, Graduate Program Assistant, our walkers toured the spectacular facility perched on the dunes overlooking the Bay. It was a special treat after walking 22 miles from Santa Cruz….only 18 more to Monterey!

Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) administers the Masters of Science program for a consortium of seven California State University campuses in northern and central California.

An outfitted Marine Operations department, research diving program and state of the art equipment allow for cutting edge research in marine ecology, the biology of marine plants, invertebrates, fishes, turtles, birds and mammals, oceanography, and marine geology, chemistry, and biogeochemistry.
