USC Sea Grant had a blast at Friends of the LA River’s 5th Annual RiverFest this past weekend at Los Angeles State Historic Park! 🌊

We hosted an interactive watershed demo where community members explored firsthand how pollutants travel through the LA River and learned simple ways they can help reduce pollution and keep our river and ocean clean.

A big thanks to Friends of the Los Angeles River for bringing our community together to celebrate and care for the LA River! We’re excited to join them again for the Great LA River Cleanup this October. Stay tuned for more details on how you can get involved!

We're excited to share the results of this Sea Grant-funded initiative involving our regional aquarium partner, Aquarium of the Pacific!

Over the past three years, this collaborative project has taken on one of marine biology's biggest challenges: breeding and raising marine fish species to reduce the need to source display animals from the wild. Together, the Aquarium of the Pacific and partner institutions across the country have successfully bred more than 20 marine finfish species, including several that have been bred in human care for the first time.

Check out the new interactive StoryMap for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to sustainably source animals and preserve the wild ocean at https://f.mtr.cool/ljbzgvmxdj
