Cal Maritime partnered with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to release
1 million Chinook salmon into San Pablo Bay from Cal Maritime's campus. It was the
first release of Chinook salmon from this location in almost four decades!
This fall, Cal Maritime will offer a course in Fisheries Oceanography and will engage
with state and federal scientists who will share their work with our students through
classroom visits and tours of fisheries science facilities.
“At Cal Maritime, we offer an exciting array of degree programs that engage the largest
estuary on the West Coast," said Interim President Michael Dumont. "This project lends
perfectly to our Oceanography curriculum and our upcoming fisheries course. We are
honored to be able to support the work of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
through this partnership.”
