Celite Corporation, a local business, mining diatomaceous earth,
one of the largest of its kind in the world, partnered with CHS aquarium
in monitoring the growth of bacteria on filter media. This partnership combined
chemists from Celite Corp. and students from Cabrillo High School. Over
the period of one year the students tested the qualities of three different
types of filtration media. For this study Celite granted $5000. to the Aquarium
for this combined effort. This is an example of major industry and high
school students working together for the benefit of both.
