Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Santa Monica, California, United States
Source: San Diego Red
Researchers from UCLA Samueli School of Engineering will temporarily dye the waters near Santa Monica Pier pink using a non-toxic dye called Rhodamine to study coastal water movement and pollution dispersion. The study aims to analyze how the local breakwater impacts currents, water quality, and the spread of contaminants to better understand pollution risks to people, marine life, and vegetation.
