The Californian CESU was established at the University of California (Berkeley) in 2003. Originally consisting of four federal agency and eight non-federal partners, the CESU has grown to include a total of 13 federal partners and 27 non-federal partners.
The mission of the Californian CESU is to provide research, technical assistance and education across the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences to address natural and cultural resource management issues at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context in California and nationally as appropriate.
