Slideshow Description
The ocean is facing myriad threats including stressors to ecosystems from a changing climate, overfishing, pollution, and more. Finding solutions to mitigate or adapt to these changes will require interdisciplinary research and education—and a place to house this collaborative and cutting-edge science.
Enter the Ted and Jean Scripps Marine Conservation and Technology Facility at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. Perched upon a hillside with sweeping ocean views, this newly opened facility will facilitate future discoveries and train the next generation of scientists.
Located on the north entrance to Scripps Oceanography, the 40,410-gross-square-foot facility will be the primary location of the Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC) at Scripps. The center employs an interdisciplinary approach to education of future leaders in marine stewardship, and to research to understand and maintain the integrity of ocean ecosystems in the face of rapid climate change.
Members of the Scripps family and additional supporters of the building celebrated the opening on Scripps campus on May 30, 2023.
