This is a conversation with Danielle (Dani) Lipski, Research Coordinator, NOAA's
Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and Jaime Jahncke, founder Point Blue Conservation Science, as they talk about their work off the Northern CA coast studying ocean data aboard NOAA ships.
ACCESS (Applied CA Current EcoSystem Studies) is a project formed by Point Blue Conservation Science (of Petaluma, Sonoma County, CA), Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. ACCESS' core responsibility is conducting ocean research to inform resource managers, policy makers and conservation partners. ACCESS focuses on the oceanic habitats in Federal and State waters of northern and central California, encompassing Cordell Bank, Greater Farallones and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries. These MPAs support marine wildlife conservation and healthy marine ecosystems in north-central California.
Dani and Jaime discussed the California Current ecosystem, highlighting its unique features such as the northwest winds that lead to upwelling, nutrient-rich waters, and the formation of feeding hotspots for seabirds and whales. They also clarified the locations of the Greater Farallons and Cordell Bank, both of which are part of the marine sanctuaries they manage. The conversation then shifted to the personal backgrounds of Dani and Jaime, with Dani sharing her experience working for the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and the merger of the Greater Farallons and Cordell Bank staffs.
