Since its inception in 1969, SCCWRP has staked its reputation on conducting high-quality research and translating this work into actionable guidance and recommendations that inform management decision-making. SCCWRP celebrated 50 years of progress and achievement during a two-part program on October 11, 2019 at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.
The event began with a four-hour scientific afternoon program focusing on SCCWRP’s greatest accomplishments across its thematic research areas, plus its future research directions. Then, during a four-hour evening recognition program and reception, SCCWRP celebrated all of the people and institutions that have been foundational to the organization’s growth and success.
