The Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier is an iconic stretch of the boardwalk on the San Diego Bay that offers scientific studies, boat launches, and diving operations. The current pier replaces one that was originally built in 1916 and is considered amongst the largest research piers in the world. It also helps to supply filtered seawater for the attached marine institute with pumps under the dock.

While many want to walk the pier just for the ocean view, its real interest comes from those who are interested in oceanography and marine sciences. It's accessible only via the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

The Story of Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier

The Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier is a vital teaching tool for both graduate and undergraduate students seeking to learn about ocean science. It houses a wide array of scientific instruments including radar units and meteorological stations. It also includes a special camera system to document the types of plankton present in the waters.

The pier is designed as a vital ecological data analysis platform with instrument mounting and continuous sampling capabilities. In fact, its seawater surface temperature-monitoring programme is amongst the oldest in the Pacific Rim, having been in service since 1916.
