Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in both education and research. MLML administers the Masters of Science program for a consortium of seven California State University campuses in northern and central California.

An outfitted Marine Operations department, strong research diving program and state of the art equipment allow for cutting edge research in a wide variety of disciplines including: marine ecology, the biology of marine plants, invertebrates, fishes, turtles, birds and mammals, oceanography, and marine geology, chemistry, and biogeochemistry.

MLML is known for a hands-on, field-oriented approach, which places our students, faculty, researchers and staff at the frontiers of marine science worldwide where discoveries are being made.

MLML's Open House is an annual public event put on by MLML students, faculty, and staff, in which we welcome the public to enjoy and learn about our research.
