The SWC was awarded a grant from the NOAA Preserve America Initiative (PAIG) program. The project, titled "The 100-Year Sardine Legacy: Preserving NOAA's Success, Promoting NOAA's Future" will support the production of a mural on NOAA's Pacific Grove, CA facility depicting NOAA's history in the past 100 years of the fishing industry of Monterey Bay and the California Current. It is in cooperation with the city of Pacific Grove as part of the city's historical mural project. The PAIG project will also develop educational tools that help teach that story.
