California Ocean Science Trust (OST) is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to advance a
constructive role for science in decision-making by
promoting collaboration and mutual understanding
among scientists, citizens, managers, and
policymakers working toward sustained, healthy, and
productive coastal and ocean ecosystems. A unique
asset to the State of California, OST was
established under the California Ocean Resources
Stewardship Act (CORSA) of 2000, which calls on OST
to “to seek and provide funding for ocean resource
science projects and to encourage coordinated,
multiagency, multi-institution approaches to ocean
resource science.” In working to fulfill its
mandate, OST partners closely with the California
Ocean Protection Council, a state agency formed
under the California Ocean Protection Act of 2004
that strives to “ensure that California maintains
healthy, resilient, and productive ocean and coastal
ecosystems for the benefit of current and future
generations.” As part of its collaboration with the
Ocean Protection Council, OST provides science
advice and the Executive Director serves as the
co-chair of the Ocean Protection Council Science
Advisory Team.</p>

as well as regional baseline monitoring programs,
which are now moving into the long-term monitoring
phase.</p>
