Spring 2014 181 California Fish and Game 100(2):181-182; 2014 Notes from the Editor Welcome to California Fish and Game 100(2), the second of four special issues assembled to celebrate the centennial anniversary of California’s longest-running, continuously published scientific journal. As the Editor-in-Chief, I remain pleased that this journal is celebrating with a series of special issues that ultimately will comprise Volume 100. I am also proud to be responsible for the production of Volume 100, but I am especially proud of the work accomplished by three individuals that took on many responsibilities in addition to their “day jobs” and, thereby, helped to ensure the quality of this special issue. They invited the authors, sought reviews, passed judgment on the acceptability of contributions for publication, assisted with copy editing, and helped to read page proofs. Two of those individuals, Pete Kalvass and Ian Taniguchi, served as Corresponding Editors, a task usually handled by the Editor-in-Chief; Nina Kogut unselfishly lent her editorial expertise to ensure consistency and quality of material published herein. Pete, Ian, and Nina each deserve special recognition and many thanks for their efforts and, as I promised previously (California Fish and Game 100:7-8), am again providing additional background information on those that were so instrumental in creating this special issue. Pete Kalvass earned his B.S. in Fisheries Science and his M.S. in Natural Resources from Humboldt State University. He has >30 years of experience as a biologist in marine fisheries with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Pete started out in the Ocean Salmon Project with a primary focus of monitoring the coastwide recreational and commercial harvest of ocean salmon. Following a move to the north coast of California, he embarked on research centered on developing a management program for the rapidly developing commercial sea urchin fishery, in collaboration with academic researchers and the industry. In recent years, he has been the supervisor for the CDFW Invertebrate Management Project, with an emphasis on the abalone, sea urchin and Dungeness crab resources. Mr. Kalvass served as the Corresponding Editor for four of the papers included in this issue, and has served as an Associate Editor for this journal for many years. Ian Taniguchi received his B.S. in Zoology from the University of California, Berkeley and has worked 22 years as a marine scientist, most of it with CDFW. He initially started as a seasonal aide working on the San Francisco Bay Herring Fishery Project. He transitioned to marine invertebrate fisheries as a biologist with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission working on the commercial red sea urchin fishery with Pete Kalvass in northern California. Ian continued working on marine invertebrate resource management with CDFW in southern California, focusing on sea urchins, abalone and other invertebrates. He is currently a senior scientist on the Invertebrate Management Project within the Marine Region, and is the state coordinator for implementation of the Abalone Recovery and Management Plan. Ian also represents CDFW on several NOAA Fisheries teams involved with recovery of endangered abalone species. Mr. Taniguchi served as the Corresponding Editor for five of the papers included in this issue. Nina Kogut has 20 years of experience as a biologist, and has been an Environmental Scientist at CDFW since 1999. She earned her B.S. in Biological Sciences at San Jose State University and her M.S. in Conservation Ecology at California State University, Sacramento. Ms. Kogut currently works on marine protected areas and has served as an 182 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME Vol. 100, No. 2 Associate Editor for California Fish and Game since 2010; as an Associate Editor,
