In 1949, the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) was formed to study the ecological aspects of the sardine population collapse off the coast of southern California. The effort, originally called the California Cooperative Sardine Research Program, was designed as a joint effort by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the California Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the California Academy of Sciences. CalCOFI, still in operation, conducts quarterly cruises to collect hydrographic and biological data off the coast of southern and central California.
