Scripps Coastal Reserve, Natural reserve in La Jolla, United States.
The reserve spans 126 acres along the California coast, including 80 acres of underwater areas and 46 acres of elevated terrain with canyons.
The University of California acquired the underwater section in 1929 and later purchased the William Black House with adjacent land in 1967.
Scientists and students from Scripps Institution of Oceanography conduct research on coastal flora, fauna, and environmental preservation strategies in this location.
