M.B.A.R.I+4 Grant 11.30.2020 0545 2 JS

A grant has been recently awarded to a consortium of the country's top 5 ocean research institutes, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is the lead. The money will be used to deploy a fleet of 500 robotic sensors to monitor ocean health. The data streaming from the float array will be made available, (within a day of being collected) to researchers, educators and policy makers around the world.

This grant totaling $53 Million was approved by the National Science Foundation.

This new network of floats is called the Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array (also known as GO-BGC Array).

BD Man Who Helped Neighbors 11-28-20 09:16 S.S.

A surprise gift was given to a Bonny Doon man last week. That after Paul Gabriel lost his home while helping to save a neighbors home from the CZU August Lightning Complex Fires. Volunteers with SCRelief.com partnered with EmergencyRV.org to give Gabriel the use of an RV, he can live in on a neighbor's land until he can rebuild the home his family moved to 60 years ago.

Once he can rebuild, or find a new home, the RV will be returned to Emergency RV, so another homeless disaster survivor can use it.
