And on June 27, 2017, Judge Chouteau awarded $162,000 in attorney’s fees to the successful parties in the environmental litigation over CAL FIRE’s approval of the Dogwood THP. The Court granted Petitioners motion for fees, holding that: “Petitioners enforced an important public right and conferred a significant benefit to the general public by obtaining injunctive relief and proving respondent failed to comply with the requirements under CEQA and the Forest Practice Act.” This is great news, both because the attorney fees are covered and because it should send a message to CAL FIRE that requiring better THPs from applicants is in its own interests. CAL FIRE must return to Court to present its progress in late August. If the next plan also does not comply with CEQA, DKY will continue to work with other organizations to fight it. We are deeply grateful to those who have contributed to the DKY litigation fund, which will remain available for future efforts. An Ecosystem in Recovery ––– Restoration of Ten Mile Dunes by Renee Pasquinelli As many may remember from 2010 to 2014, our CNPS chapter, along with the Mendocino Coast Audubon Society, the Sierra Club Redwood Chapter, and several other local and State environmental entities, successfully supported a project to restore coastal habitat in the Inglenook Fen Ten Mile Dunes Natural Preserve of MacKerricher State Park. Renowned ecologists, Peter Baye, Teresa Sholars, and Andrea Pickart were instrumental in providing expertise and guidance to the project. The 1200+ acre dune and wetland complex is both ecologically significant, and a sacred place Recolonization of native dune species after ice plant removal. to local Native Americans. The Ten Mile Dunes contain Photo by Terra Fuller 2017. some of the rarest plant species in the region, including Menzies’ wallflower (Erysimum menziesii ssp. menziesii, CA Rare Plant Rank 1.B.1, FE, CE), pink sand verbena (Abronia umbellata var. breviflora, 1B.1), round-headed Chinese houses (Collinsia corymbosa, 1B.2), and Howell’s spineflower (Chorizanthe howellii, 1B.2, FE, CT), a species that occurs only within and around MacKerricher State Park. The dunes also provide critical habitat for the federally threatened western snowy plover. The restoration project focused on removing 2.7 miles of remnant asphalt, underlying baserock, and two stream crossings from a former logging road that paralleled the beach, and eradicating invasive species, primarily European beach grass and ice plant. Both invasives unnaturally stabilize dunes by preventing sand movement, and European beach grass alters natural dune topography by trapping sand and increasing the height of foredunes.

Last April (2017), our local public radio station (KZYX) ran an excellent “Ecology Hour” program interviewing world-renowned oceanographer John Largier from University of California, Davis Bodega Marin Lab. Marginal to the discussion of the physical processes that influence the Mendocino Coast river estuaries was a reference by some callers and hosts, to “algae” in the Thick beds of wigeongrass, Ruppia cirrhosa, mantle upstream river.

But aquatic plants species, especially submersed species that complete their life-cycles under water, are also out of sight and thus out of mind for many observers. They are thus easily mistaken, by prejudice, for algae when visible at the water surface. That prejudice can lead to misguided demands for getting rid of falsely perceived “nuisance” algae. So before we have to defend our pristine native SAV beds, let’s introduce two of a trio of revered dominant underwater plant species that cohabit Mendocino Coast river estuaries: wigeongrass, Ruppia cirrhosa and sago pondweed, Stuckenia pectinata (syn.

  • 1.3 Impact of Invasive Aquatic Plants on Waterfowl
    1.3 Impact of Invasive Aquatic Plants on Waterfowl Ryan M. Wersal: Minnesota State University Mankato, Mankato MN; [email protected] Kurt D. Getsinger: US Army ERDC, Vicksburg MS; [email protected] Introduction Studies that evaluate the relationship between waterfowl and aquatic plants (native or nonnative) usually focus on the food habits and feeding ecology of waterfowl. Therefore, the purpose of this section is to describe the dynamics of waterfowl feeding in relation to aquatic plants. The habitats used by waterfowl for breeding, wintering and foraging are diverse and change based on the annual life cycle of waterfowl and seasonal conditions of the habitat. For example, waterfowl require large amounts of protein during migration, nesting and molting, and they fulfill this requirement by consuming aquatic invertebrates. As noted in Sections 1.1 and 1.2, a strong relationship exists between high numbers of aquatic invertebrates and diverse aquatic plant communities, so diverse plant communities also play an important role in waterfowl health by hosting the invertebrates needed to subsidize waterfowl migration, nesting and molting. After all, waterfowl native to the US have evolved alongside diverse plant communities that are likewise native to the US and utilize these plants and associated invertebrates to meet their energy needs. Metabolic energy demands of waterfowl are high during the winter months, so waterfowl need foods that are high in carbohydrates such as plant seeds, tubers and rhizomes during winter. Many waterfowl will sometimes abandon aquatic plant foraging while on their wintering grounds and feed instead on high-energy agricultural crops such as wheat, corn, rice and soybeans.

GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Endangered Species Act that includes public review and comment.

  • Preserving the Fort Ross Archaeological Record]
    PRESERVING THE FORT ROSS ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD] E. Breck Parkman 2560 Meier Road Sebastopol, CA 95472 ABSTRACT A major archaeological program is currently under way at Fort Ross State Historic Park, located on California's North Coast. The two major aspects of the program concern the Native Alaskan Village site and the Russian Orthodox Cemetery. Traditionally, little has been known about either the Village or Cemetery, and this lack of understanding has made their protection more difficult. It is the author's contention that the Fort Ross archaeological resources must be made more visible if they are to be preserved. This paper, then, is a discussion of the rationale behind the program's implementation. INTRODUCTION the California Department ofParks and Rec­ reation (hereafter, DPR).
