Robust empirical relationships for estimating the carbonate system in the southern
California Current System and application to CalCOFI hydrographic cruise data (2005-2011).
In order to provide early indications of the potential recruitment of fishes to the northern
California Current, the NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) Fish Ecology Division has conducted surveys as part of the Stock Assessment Improvement Program (SAIP) during summer from 2004 through 2012 to collect late-larval and juvenile fish from southern Washington to central Oregon (Phillips et al., 2009).
As a feature of the Pacific, the
California Current supports such a teeming quantity of life that it has been called the American Serengeti.

In addition to directional flow, the coastal upwelling and the subarctic origin of the
California Current pose potential thermal barriers to larval fish.
The
California Current: A Pacific Ecosystem and its Fliers, Divers, and Swimmers is an exceptionally well researched and engaging examination of a vital 2,000-mile ocean community that extends along much of the Pacific Coast.

Together with the Moore Foundation, Packard has supported large-scale science-driven monitoring in the
California Current. The Partnership for Interdisciplinary Study of the Coast Ocean has provided, in turn, much of the scientific basis for declaring marine reserves in California waters.
Other papers cover fishery management, habitat requirements and stock assessment, including an article on an unexploited species in the
California current and a survey of trawler catches.
