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.
