Our mission is promoting research & education

The California Estuarine Research Society (CAERS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement of education and research regarding California's and Baja California's estuarine and coastal environments. The society provides a forum to enhance communication among interested scientists, engineers, and students.

CERF Affiliate

CAERS serves California and Baja California as the official affiliate of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). The CERF is an international organization whose purpose is to:

• promote research in estuarine and coastal waters
• promote communication between members of affiliated societies
• provide a source of advice in matters concerning estuaries and the coastal zone

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 CERF affiliate network, thereby strengthening ties among coastal and estuarine researchers in California and Baja California, Mexico.

Message Board

Now Available Randy Brown Travel Funds: CAERS is now offering support to cover the registration of student members that will be attending the CERF 2012 biannual meeting in Daytona Beach in November.
