  • Section 3.4 Biological Resources 3.4- Biological Resources
    SECTION 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4- BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section discusses the existing sensitive biological resources of the San Francisco Bay Estuary (the Estuary) that could be affected by project-related construction and locally increased levels of boating use, identifies potential impacts to those resources, and recommends mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts. The Initial Study for this project identified potentially significant impacts on shorebirds and rafting waterbirds, marine mammals (harbor seals), and wetlands habitats and species. The potential for spread of invasive species also was identified as a possible impact. 3.4.1 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES SETTING HABITATS WITHIN AND AROUND SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY The vegetation and wildlife of bayland environments varies among geographic subregions in the bay (Figure 3.4-1), and also with the predominant land uses: urban (commercial, residential, industrial/port), urban/wildland interface, rural, and agricultural. For the purposes of discussion of biological resources, the Estuary is divided into Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, Central San Francisco Bay, and South San Francisco Bay (See Figure 3.4-2). The general landscape structure of the Estuary’s vegetation and habitats within the geographic scope of the WT is described below. URBAN SHORELINES Urban shorelines in the San Francisco Estuary are generally formed by artificial fill and structures armored with revetments, seawalls, rip-rap, pilings, and other structures. Waterways and embayments adjacent to urban shores are often dredged. With some important exceptions, tidal wetland vegetation and habitats adjacent to urban shores are often formed on steep slopes, and are relatively recently formed (historic infilled sediment) in narrow strips.

  • Dunphy Park / Cass Gidley Marina
    1 San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Site Description for Dunphy Park / Cass Gidley Marina Location, Ownership, and Management: Dunphy Park is a shoreline park owned and managed by the City of Sausalito. The small beach within the park has long served as a popular launch for paddling on Richardson Bay, to Angel Island, and beyond. The historic Cass Gidley Marina is located along the northern side of the park. Dunphy Park is currently undergoing major renovations anticipated to be completed in 2020. Similarly, the Cass Gidley Marina is being redeveloped into the Sausalito Community Boating Center, which will provide access for paddlers and programs for small sailing craft. Contact Name: Mike Langford, Parks and Recreation Director Contact Phone: (415) 289-4126 Contact E-mail: [email protected] Dunphy Park Beach (2019) Dunphy Park Beach (2005) Cass Gidley Marina Facility Description: The non-motorized small boat (NMSB) community has long used the beach at Dunphy Park for launching and landing. Historically, users would park in the unpaved parking area and use adjacent lawn areas to laydown equipment before launching from the small beach. Dunphy Park is currently being redesigned (Fall 2019), which will include improved water access facilities. As part of the Dunphy Park redesign, an ADA ramp and path of travel for beach access will be installed. Steps down to the shoreline will also be provided adjacent to the ramp. Additionally, new ADA restrooms will replace existing portables and parking will be reconfigured to expand capacity and allow better flow. A boat washdown and drinking fountain will also be installed.

  • Feb 2016 Seascape
    FEBRUARY 2016 Commodore Donna Beckett (510) 857-6599 – [email protected] I am very happy to welcome our new Food and Beverage manager, Theresa Barnes. Theresa will be joining us on February 1. Her duties will be to manage the galley staff, make sure the galley runs smoothly and members enjoy a wonderful dining experience. With her coming on board Adam will now be in the office full time as the office manager. As you’re reading this you are probably aware by now that the San Francisco Progressive Boat show has been cancelled. Because of the last change in date due to storm damage, many of the exhibitors were not able to make the new date and so the show was called off. The Richmond Strictly Sail show is still on and we will have a booth there. Volunteers are needed to work the show. It only takes a few hours of your time, you get to meet some interesting people, it’s a great help to the Club and you get free admittance to the show. Volunteer and help build membership. Our Valentine’s Day party will be a very special evening. Chef Matt has planned a gourmet menu. We have a very popular musician scheduled who had everyone at the Change of Watch out of their chairs and on the dance floor. So plan to take your sweetie to the Club for a wonderful and memorable evening of dining and dancing. The Club is looking to move away from accepting cash at the bar and the galley.

    The Honorable Barack H. Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 December 10, 2009 Re: Fair and Science-Based Management for the Sacramento River and Bay-Delta Dear President Obama, We are people living in the Pacific coast’s cities and towns, working to keep alive livelihoods and traditions that built our communities and culture. A major portion of our economic lifeblood stems from the salmon industry, both commercial and sport. Our salmon industries depend on abundant runs of Sacramento River fall chinook salmon. Some 60 percent of the salmon caught off Oregon and 90 percent of the salmon caught off California originate in the Sacramento River system. As you know, nearly all ocean salmon fishing has been closed in California and most of Oregon for two years due to the dramatic collapse of Sacramento fall chinook salmon. As members of Oregon and California’s commercial and recreational salmon industries and communities, we are writing to respectfully ask you to defend the recently-released federal plans for the restoration of threatened and endangered salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and other native fish dependent upon the Sacramento River and Bay-Delta estuary. We call on you to support the implementation and funding of these science-based and peer-reviewed plans. We also respectfully request that you immediately initiate a federal investigation to locate the 800,000 acre feet of Sacramento River water that is supposed to be set aside every year to keep our salmon runs healthy under Section 3406(b)(2) of the 1992 Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA).
