Description
Scripps Pier is one of those landmarks in the Greater City of San Diego, California (but to be accurate, it's in La Jolla). It is located between La Jolla Shores and Blacks Beach, and next to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, which owns and operates the pier. The pier spans 1,090 feet and is built of reinforced concrete.
The pier is lit up at night and can be seen for miles. As one of the world’s biggest research piers, Scripps Pier, not a public-use pier, is used by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography for boat launching and a variety of experiments. Data on ocean conditions and plankton taken from the pier since 1915 provide an unparalleled source of information on changes in the coastal Pacific Ocean. The research pier also provides a supply of fresh seawater, a critical resource for a marine institution, to an array of laboratories and aquaria, including Birch Aquarium. Seawater is pumped up from the end of the pier, then filtered and stored in holding tanks. Scripps pumps about 1.8 million gallons of seawater each day.
