The California Institute of Environmental Studies (CIES) is a dedicated organization focused on advancing the conservation of coastal and marine birds, as well as promoting healthy ecosystems through the application of sound science, restoration efforts, partnerships, and community outreach.
CIES works diligently to protect and restore important nesting habitats for seabirds, such as Cassin's auklets, on offshore isles like Scorpion Rock and Santa Barbara Island. Their commitment to scientific research and banding operations allows for the monitoring and preservation of species like the ashy storm-petrel, ensuring their long-term survival.
