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 scientific research, restoration efforts, partnerships, and community outreach.
CIES works diligently to restore important nesting habitats for seabirds, such as Cassin's auklets, on offshore islands like Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara. Their team conducts banding operations and mistnetting to study and protect species like the ashy storm-petrel, while also engaging in lighthouse slope restoration projects on islands like Anacapa. With a commitment to sound science and collaboration, CIES strives to make a positive impact on the environment and raise awareness about the importance of conservation.
