How are we doing?

For each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30), the University of California’s Reserve Application Management System (RAMS) keeps detailed track of the usage of the various reserves of the Reserve system.  For a look at the detailed usage figures for the James or Oasis de los Osos, you can go directly to the RAMS report site (RAMS).  Click here to access just the narrative summary as to how this latest year was at the James Reserve.
