One of the
most incredible resources that Cal Poly's pier at Avila has to
offer is the environment surrounding it. Not only are there a
series of bird species that have made the pier their home but
there are numerous marine organisms that also inhabit the area.
From California Sea Lions to Ochre Sea Stars, this rich habitat
is one of the main aspects that sets the pier apart from other
lands owned by Cal Poly. The possibilities are endless with this
outdoor classroom and the underwater world it connects with.
