U.S. Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program is a national research program involving 18 U.S. sites from Alaska to Puerto Rico, plus two in Antarctica and a network coordination office. Funded by the National Science Foundation to conduct research on long-term ecological phenomena. A collaborative effort among over 750 scientists and students which extends the opportunities and capabilities of the individual sites to promote comparative research across sites and ecosystems and with other similar national and international programs.

Santa Barbara

Discover the city of Santa Barbara, California, the birthplace of Earth Day. A 1969 oil platform blowout off the coast of Santa Barbara led to a wave of environmental laws nationwide. That gave impetus to what we consider now the cornerstones to the modern environmental movement. A year later, the first Earth Day was held followed by the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. A succession of other laws protecting water, marine life and endangered species followed.
