    he following project concepts were identified as needs or inter- ests, but will need much more research or changes in existing physical or political parameters to become possibilities. These sites are illustrated in Figure II-1. This small cove and sandy beach is protected by rock jetties and man- aged by the BLM. It offers good bay access for novice paddlers. Park- ing space is limited and the Jetty Road gate is closed one hour after sunset. Better parking and appropriate signage could be provided. Jetty Road Cove is secluded from fast-moving currents and provides an easy beach launch for paddle-boaters. Park Street ends at a sandy beach near Fairhaven, with a view across the bay to Eureka. The area provides access to the deep waterchannel between Samoa Peninsula and Eureka. The site could be enhanced for water access by delineating parking and providing appropriate signage. The site also provides adequate fishing access and could potentially serve as a trailhead to allow continuous beach access south to the Samoa Boat Ramp County Park. Cole Street, off Bay Street in Fairheven, ends at a sandy beach (or mud flats at lower tides). Debris has been dumped between the road and the beach. There is a great deal of boat-building history and ac- tivity in this area, and though it is currently neglected, it is a valuable coastal access point and should be reestablished. If road shoulders were improved for bike access, this road could provide a better link between bay communities and coastal recre- ation opportunities on the peninsula.

  • Historical Shoreline Analysis for Humboldt Bay, California
    Historical Shoreline Analysis For Humboldt Bay, California Shoreline Change along Coastal Dunes from Table Bluff to Trinidad, 1939-2016 Kelsey McDonald October 10, 2017 Summary The Historical Shoreline Analysis provides information on long-term trends in shoreline movement to support understanding of coastal change along dune systems within the Eureka littoral cell. The study is a component of the Dunes Climate Ready project, which seeks to understand how sea level rise will impact dune systems and how land managers can promote adaptation. Shorelines digitally traced from aerial imagery dating 1939 to 2016 revealed varying patterns of erosion and accretion across dune-backed shorelines of the Humboldt Bay area. The ArcGIS plugin Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) analyzed shoreline change along digital transects to provide linear regression rates of shoreline change over the study period. Most of the sandy shorelines around Humboldt Bay are stable to prograding, with the exception of the North Jetty area. The beach at the North Jetty has been eroding rapidly since 1939 (2.08 ± 0.16 m/year). The North Spit from Samoa to Mad River Beach has been stable to accreting (no significant change to less than 1m/year). The Clam Beach to Little River shoreline stretch has shown high accretion (2.56 ± 0.15 m/year). The South Spit has shown moderate accretion (1.27 ± 0.06 m/year). The long-term rates of change provide historical reference for monitoring coastal responses to sea level rise and climate events. 1 Introduction The Historical Shoreline Analysis is a component of the Dunes Climate Ready Study, which seeks to provide information on patterns of sediment movement within the Eureka littoral cell and identify potential coastal vulnerabilities and responses to sea level rise and other aspects of climate change.

    CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Joe Rosato February 16, 2005 (916) 653-9472 Increases Noted System Wide State Parks’ Management Efforts for Snowy Plover Showing Results Along California Coast SACRAMENTO – Management measures implemented system wide by California State Parks and aimed at protecting the threatened western snowy plover shorebird continue to result in increases in both the number of nests and chicks, State Park officials announced today. State Park officials said the following results were recorded for 2004, the most recent nesting season: • Western snowy plover nesting was reported in 19 units managed by the Department, up from 17 units in 2003. • A total of 886 total nests were reported in state park units, a 62 percent increase in the number of nests documented in 2003. • Of the total nests, 523 were reported successful at hatching at least one egg, a 52 percent increase over the 344 successful nests reported in 2003. This was the same percentage increase as reported between 2002 and 2003. • A total of 1,394 chicks were reported in 2004, a 43 percent increase over the number of chicks reported. System wide, State Park officials said 32 percent of the 843 chicks that were either banded or otherwise intensively monitored were reported to have reached fledging age (about 30 days from hatching), down from a 55 percent fledging rate for the 346 chicks in 2003 primarily due to increased predation. Currently, 30 state parks along the coast have special management actions in place, including visitor education and interpretation, park staff training, nest area monitoring and nest site protection.
