Timing Is Everything
A chance encounter inspired Brad Jones and Julie Black to invest in Santa Barbara coastal research and the many projects that intersect at Arroyo Quemada beach. One such project is the Santa Barbara Coastal Long Term Ecological Research (SBC LTER) program. Brad and Julie are proud to support this research that takes place right outside their home and to protect the fragile marine ecosystems.
"I feel so lucky to attend UC Santa Barbara and be part of this community. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!"
