LA Harbor Opportunity for LACCD Students
Owing to our membership in the Southern California Marine Institute, East LA’s Randy Adsit is able to take his Environmental Science students on regular four-hour field trips aboard the research vessel Yellowfin in and around LA Harbor. Other science faculty are encouraged to take advantage of the same opportunity. 

The Southern California Marine Institute provides research facilities at the Los Angeles Harbor to a consortium of local universities and colleges, including UCLA, USC, and local Cal State Universities. In 2015, SEI arranged for the LACCD to join SCMI, and we remain the only participating community college district. 

Field trips aboard the Yellowfin are offered at a large discount to SCMI members, and offer great teaching opportunities for many science faculty. Please contact us, if you're interested. See our website for additional photos.
