Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve (TRNERR) is an auxiliary field station with a history of collaboration with SDSU faculty. FSP helps facilitate research activities at TRNERR.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve students and faculty at SDSU by supporting teaching, research and education at our four field stations. We help collect, share and understand environmental data from our four field stations and the surrounding ecosystems. We manage the stations for the long-term preservation of native fauna and flora.
