Document Description
The proposed action is the relocation of the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) SWFSC at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) campus. The existing facility, built in 1964, is adjacent to a coastal bluff that is undergoing severe erosion and retreat. The proposed action is to construct a new SWFSC facility at a preferred site located across La Jolla Shores Drive from the existing NOAA facilities. A minimum of two existing at-risk SWFSC structures would be removed and the property currently occupied by NOAA returned to UCSD control for other appropriate uses. Relocation of the SWFSC will allow NMFS to continue its research collaboration with SIO and other researchers on Pacific fisheries and marine mammals.
