Why the tritons?
The triton is described as the descendants of Poseidon and amphitrite, a demigod of the sea with a lower part of the body and that of a fish. It is known as a powerful and violent nautical declarer. In view of the proximity of UC San Diego to the Pacific Ocean and its connections to the world-famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Triton became our mascot in 1964.
