Marine Pollution Studies Laboratory at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MPSL-MLML)

The mission of MPSL-MLML is to collaborate with data partners to assist in creating and compiling comparable data sets and to develop applications with the goal of assisting with data analysis and improving environmental quality. We accomplish this through the collection of water, sediment, tissue, biological, and bioassessment data in standardized, comparable data formats and valid value lists.  The MPSL-MLML Data Center works with data generators throughout California, with the majority from the Central Coast and Northern California, to help standardize and store their data for review and transfer to  CEDEN. Some example data generators include the Central Coast Ambient Monitoring Program (CCAMP), Central Coast Cooperative Monitoring Program for Agriculture, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Central Coast, Lahontan, Colorado River Regional Water Quality Control Board TMDL programs, local/regional watershed and citizen monitoring groups, and grant recipients.
