MISSION
To improve education and research regarding California's estuarine and coastal environments by providing a forum to enhance communication among interested scientists, engineers, and students." The geographic scope is the estuaries and coastal waters of California and Mexico.
 
HISTORY
Formed in 2002, CAERS is the newest affiliate of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). We formed CAERS to fill a geographical gap in the ERF affiliate network, thereby strengthening ties among coastal and estuarine researchers in California and Mexico.
