The Coastal Fund (CF) is created and funded by the students at the University of California, Santa Barbara in order to preserve and enhance the ecological integrity of the coastal habitats at the university. Given this charge, the CF seeks to provide the financial impetus for research, restoration, and educational projects that are in agreement with the CF's Mission Statement.
