Extractions: FERI is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, research and education organization that develops, calibrates and deploys tools to rapidly assess the coastal ocean environment. By using advanced mapping and monitoring techniques, we develop products that characterize the nearshore environment (e.g. bathymetry, bottom types, identification of targets). FEATURE PROJECT: CICORE Fall 2004 FERI recently deployed an airborne hyperspectral sensor, which collected data from over 5400 km of the California coastline. This NOAA funded project is a collaborative effort to establish a coastal ocean observatory for the state of California. To find out more please go to the CICORE page under the Projects link above.

Environmental Decisions and Factual Information Environmental Decisions are made based on two things: what is KNOWN about the environmental impacts of human activities (the facts), and how we VALUE the different aspects of the environment and human activities. The valuation part of the process is independent of science and engineering: a specialist's opinion about what is important is no more valuable than that of the person on the street. Our knowledge of the environment is incomplete, but in many cases we have enough factual information to have a reasonable prediction about the effects of our choices. Unfortunately, environmental decisions are rarely based on the facts of the matter, but rely simply on value judgements. That means we are ignoring information about potential environmental damage, and it means that our decision are just as likely to cause damage to the environment as to benefit it, even where environmental protection was the goal of the decision. Many millions of dollars have been spent to protect the environment, while simply causing the environmental damage to another environmental system. In a world where resources are limited, and where decisions not based on facts are likely to cause further environmental degradation, better access to facts is an urgent need. IERE was formed to address this need.

We hope this research will support those who are fighting for clean air, healthy families and a safe community. But this project is about more than research. By giving the public the tools and resources needed to use this information, we hope to improve community capacity for advocacy, and strengthen the neighborhood's relationship to local, regional and national planning and policymaking. The Indicators process recognizes that data is not an end in itself. Pacific Institute provides training and support to communities to ensure collected information is returned to the community in accessible forms, helps bridge data into action (e.g., training on Media, Policy, and Advocacy strategies), and translates into community education and empowerment.
