Cabrillo National Monument’s biologists have laid their transect lines throughout the park’s protected ecosystems for over 30 years to provide a uniform frame in which the thriving biodiversity can be quantified and assessed. Audrey Carver created circular mandalas to represent different scientific inventories, first exhibited at Cabrillo in 2017. The goal of this exhibition is to carry out the mission of preservation and protection by blending art and scientific data in order to connect visitors to what is seen along the transect line.
