Foundation - Southern California Tuna Club Lunch Meeting Thu Sep 17 2026, 12:00pm PDT - 1:30pm PDT Lunch Meeting Thu Sep 24 2026, 12:00pm PDT - 1:30pm PDT Lunch Meeting Thu Oct 1 2026, 12:00pm PDT - 1:30pm PDT SCTC Marine Biology Education Scholarship Foundation The SCTC Marine Biology Educational Scholarship Foundation has made remarkable contributions to the field of marine science since its inception in 1996.
Over the years, the foundation has awarded more than 248 scholarships and grants, totaling over $640,000, to support students in the marine biology program at CSULB. These funds have facilitated significant advancements in marine research and conservation, enabling students to engage in vital projects that preserve marine habitats. The foundation is a separate philanthropic entity that complements the SCTC.
It is a nonprofit organization whose board is comprised of members from the SCTC and California State University Long Beach. The foundation also organizes two major fundraising events each year to sustain its efforts. The first event, Tackle Day, is held in April and is open to both SCTC members and the general public.
Featuring a wide array of donated fishing equipment, this lively event generates proceeds that directly support the foundation. Tackle Day is organized and highly effective under the leadership of Richard DeCoudres. In the fall, the foundation conducts its annual donation campaign to engage donors and gather additional support for its programs.
In addition to its events, the Foundation accepts cash, checks, fishing gear, stock donations, and estate donations to support its mission. This broad range of donation options makes it easy for individuals and organizations to contribute to marine biology education and research.
The foundation’s current board includes Michael Contino, President, as well as Gus Chabre (past president), Don First, Bob Hetzler, Tom Dixon, Curt Herbert, and Dr. Chris Lowe from CSULB. Together, these dedicated individuals ensure the foundation’s efforts continue to benefit students and marine ecosystems alike. One of the notable contributors to marine biology is Dr. Ryan Logan, a recipient of the foundation’s scholarship in 2015.
Dr. Logan has dedicated his research to studying apex predators, such as blue marlin, black marlin, and sailfish, in regions like Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador. By developing a specialized tagging system equipped with cameras, sensors, and GPS trackers, he has provided valuable insights into the recovery behaviors of these species after being hooked and released.
His findings reveal that recovery times vary across species, with blue marlin needing nine hours, sailfish five hours, and black marlin taking slightly longer due to their heightened vulnerability. This research plays a critical role in understanding and improving the survival rates of these vital predators, which hover around 80%.
The achievements of the SCTC foundation and its scholars exemplify the importance of supporting marine science education. Through financial aid, innovative research, and community-driven fundraising, the foundation has not only advanced our understanding of marine ecosystems but also highlighted the interconnectedness of biodiversity and human activity.
Events like Tackle Day and the annual donation campaign, combined with diverse donation opportunities, ensure the foundation’s continued success in empowering student-driven initiatives aimed at protecting marine habitats and promoting sustainable fishing practices.
Dr. Logan’s groundbreaking work serves as a testament to the foundation’s enduring impact on the preservation of marine life and the broader scientific community In addition to scholarships the Foundation has helped fund the purchase of new motors for the Cal State Long Beach Marine Biology research boat as seen below.
