Dear Academy Friend,

Regeneration is at the heart of the scientific research, education, and advocacy every day at the California Academy of Sciences.

From the deep reef dives Dr. Luiz Rocha, Curator of Ichthyology, conducts, to the ongoing lab research and coral spawning at the Coral Regeneration Lab (CoRL), to the steps we’re engaging our community in to help preserve oceans, every action is critical to safeguarding the natural world for future generations.

But we can’t do this work without the support of donors like you. Can we count on you to make a donation and help us save coral reefs globally?

Academy scientists and collaborators are conducting critical research on marine ecosystems across the globe, from the Philippines to Honduras. The impact of your contribution will be just as far-reaching.

In addition, substantial budget cuts to federal agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are putting our planet, oceans, and museums at risk. Major policy changes are compromising scientific research and the institutions that champion it. You can make a difference by continuing to support institutions like ours that continue this important research and fieldwork.

Please consider donating today to support our global work and stand strong for science.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Albright, PhD

Associate Curator, Invertebrate Zoology

Patterson Scholar
