About the Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC): 
Founded in 1965, thanks to the generosity of Philip K. Wrigley (for whom the center is named) and Dorothy Wrigley Offield, the WMSC is the Wrigley Institute's satellite campus for research and education. Surrounded by Catalina Island hills and a gorgeous marine protected area, the campus is a living lab for students and researchers engaged in environmental and sustainability courses, lab work, and field studies. WMSC's location near Los Angeles and the campus' pristine surrounding provide unique opportunities to compare the environmental effects of conservation and human activity, conduct immersive investigations into biodiversity and ecology, test new sustainability solutions, and more.
