PISCO Doing Long-Term, Near-Shore Research
- "The Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) is a longterm program of scientific research and training dedicated to advancing the understanding of marine ecosystems along the U.S. West Coast. PISCO is pioneering an integrated approach to studying these complex, poorly known, exceedingly rich, and economically important environments. PISCO is distinguished by its highly interdisciplinary approach, large geographic extent, and decades-long time frame. PISCO conducts monitoring and experiments along more than 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of coastline, as well as laboratory and theoretical studies. The research incorporates oceanography, ecology, chemistry, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, and mathematical modeling to gain novel insights into systems ranging from individual animals and plants to whole ecosystems." -excerpt from the PISCO website.
