Digital Media: Animations

Animated 3D visual swim-throughs of Pt. Buchon and Pt. Lobos are extremely useful for giving the audiences an underwater experience. A series of 3D aerial and underwater MPA visualization experiences were created by EcoViz, a research and animation group located at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB).

EcoViz (Ecosystem Science and Visualization), a group developing ecosystem science visualization products for research, education, and management applications, created all of these animations.
