WineCoastCountry Discovery Route: Launched in 2012, the Discovery Route is a 101 mile scenic drive that takes travelers through the 10 diverse towns of WineCoastCountry along prime Pacific coastline, lush farmland and renowned vineyards. The northernmost point of the route is located at Ragged Point in San Simeon and the southern-most point rests in the farmlands of Nipomo. This breathtaking drive showcases the area’s rich history and culture through 10 charming artisan towns and seaside villages. Along the route, visitors will enjoy locavore dining, wine tasting, diverse coastlines and geography, farmland, and various points of interest. History & Culture of the WineCoastCountry: From as early as 10,000 BC to the present, WineCoastCountry is one of the most interesting, resourceful and awe-inspiring areas to visit in California. The region’s history dates back to its first inhabitants, the Chumash, followed by the coming of Spanish Conquistadors in 1769 like Gaspar de Portola who named Los Osos (“the bears”) after encountering Grizzly bears throughout the valley. The missionaries, led by Father Junipero Serra from 1769 to 1823, had a tremendous effect on the region with mission building and religious conversion that radically changed the demographics and at one point, Catholicism was named the state religion of California. In addition to the California Gold Rush of 1849, the Central Coast experienced what is now known as the California Fur Rush starting before 1825, when fur trappers from England, Russia and America hunted the Central Coast’s southern sea otters and fur seals nearly to extinction; however brutal was the Fur Rush, it is credited with opening up world trade to the region from the Central Coast to San Francisco. Rancheros and Californians established self-sustaining communities, like the Dana Adobe in Nipomo, made possible by Mexican Land Grants, deeded from 1833 to 1846. Sea Captains such as James Cass from Cayucos- by-the-Sea created his community from a Spanish land grant of 320 acres, enabling him to build the pier and town center where his house stands to this day since 1867. The evolution of the region’s wine country can be traced back to Henry Ditmas planting the first vineyards in Arroyo Grande in 1879; however, a commercial industry was not developed until 1968 when Jack Foote successfully planted wine grapes, leading to the present when Arroyo Grande was granted AVA status in 1990. The cultural contributions to the farm culture brought by the Dust Bowl Migration of 1932 is documented in songs, stories, famous photographs, and by their descendants still farming to this day. So evident is WineCoastCountry’s fascinating history that it resonates in the unique people, landscape, architecture, character and cultures still influencing and coexisting in each of its 10 regions. These charming artisan towns and seaside villages are plotted along the WineCoastCountry Discovery Route, so that today, modern day explorers can uncover the past as they travel from WineCoastCountry’s northern most edge in Ragged Point/San Simeon to the southern most town of Nipomo.

  • San Luis Obispo County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of San Luis Obispo County San Carpoforo (San Carpojo) San Carpoforo Creek (San Carpojo Creek) consists of more than ten stream miles. It flows southwest, entering the Pacific Ocean at Ragged Point. Staff from DFG surveyed San Carpoforo Creek in 1961 and observed O. mykiss, with highest population density in the lower one mile of the creek. The survey report relays information from local residents and DFG staff including an estimate of “…155 adult steelhead in three holes between the mouth of the stream and the mine” in the late 1950s (DFG 1961a). The creek was deemed, “…a good steelhead nursery and spawning area” (DFG 1961a). In a 1966 letter DFG states, “San Carpojo and Arroyo de la Cruz Creeks are the best steelhead waters in San Luis Obispo County” (DFG 1966a). A 1973 draft report on the effects of potential water developments included estimates of steelhead run size in several San Luis Obispo County creeks. The estimated adult run in San Carpoforo Creek was 500 individuals (Macias 1973). Staff from DFG surveyed San Carpoforo Creek in 1995 and observed “numerous” young of the year, age 1+ and age 2+ steelhead (DFG 1995a). The survey report indicates that the surveyed stream reach usually becomes intermittent by the end of summer. In 1999, USFS staff surveyed San Carpoforo Creek and observed “lots of trout” including fry and adults (USFS 1999a). Staff from NMFS performed systematic surveys of south coast streams in 2002-2003 to determine steelhead presence/absence. The survey report form for San Carpoforo Creek indicates multiple O.

  • The Impact of Coastal Dredging on Avian and Intertidal Macroinvertebrate Biodiversity of Morro Bay, California
    ABSTRACT THE IMPACT OF COASTAL DREDGING ON AVIAN AND INTERTIDAL MACROINVERTEBRATE BIODIVERSITY OF MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA Sandy beaches support dynamic and diverse, but physically narrow intertidal ecosystems that are vulnerable to the effects of anthropogenic disturbance, such as coastal dredging and beach nourishment. Our study site in Morro Bay, California has been a site of coastal dredging by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) since the 1960’s. In February of 2017, 240,000 cubic yards of sediment were dredged from the harbor and deposited onto the beach as beach nourishment. We assessed the impacts of this beach nourishment over two years on three aspects of beach ecosystems: 1) beach width, 2) avian biodiversity, and 3) intertidal macroinvertebrate biodiversity. We designated seven sampling sites and at each collected monthly measurements of beach width, monthly avian point counts, and quarterly macroinvertebrate samples. We found spatiotemporal variation present across months and sites, and beach width at the deposition site was significantly higher than the six control sites pooled together. Avian and macroinvertebrate biodiversity was not significantly different at the deposition site compared to the pooled control sites. Our results suggest that the dredge deposition had low or very short-term impacts to both avian and intertidal macroinvertebrate biodiversity at the deposition site over our two years of sampling. Positive impacts include a wider beach at the deposition site. Shelby Paige Moshier May 2020 THE IMPACT OF COASTAL
