| PIEDRAS BLANCAS DUTY STATION | ||
 |
||
| The remote central coast of California is home to relatively healthy populations of wildlife species that have declined or disappeared in other parts of the state. It offers an excellent location for scientists to conduct research on issues related to the ecology and management of sensitive coastal and marine species. The Piedras Blancas Duty Station is located at a Coast Guard lighthouse, northwest of San Simeon, on the California coast midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The property is currently managed by the Bureau of Land Management. | ||
| Duty station scientists provide technical assistance to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense, California Department of Transportation, and local government on issues related to the sensitive species and management of public lands. In addition, emeritus scientists at Piedras Blancas Duty Station, in cooperation with foreign scientists, are participating in studies and management programs for reptiles and amphibians in other countries, including Mexico and Paraguay. | ||
