MexCal Managing Ecosystems Across the Californias is a research consortium based at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC). Our monitoring program provides long term data to inform how coastal ecosystems (kelp forests, rocky shores, and estuaries) will respond to climatic and anthropogenic effects such as climate change, fisheries, and marine reserves.
This figure highlights the sampling efforts of different monitoring programs along the west coast of North America.
