  • Northern California Coast Southern Focus Area
    15.1 Description of Area 15.1.1 The Land The Northern California Coast-Southern Fours Area is composed of Mendocino, Sonoma, and Marin counties, excluding watersheds that drain into San Francisco Bay (Figure 14). This region of the northern California coast contains three areas with substantial wetland habitats: the coastal wetlands, the interior valleys of the Eel River system, and the interior valleys of the Russian River system. Securement and enhancement of these wetlands will provide nesting, staging, and winter habitat for a variety of waterfowl and many wetland-dependent species. Threatened and endangered species are also present in each of the 15.0 three areas. Limited state and federal protection exists in the form of managed wildlife areas, pants, national seashores or refuges. Wetland enhancement and, in some cases, restoration activities implemented after acquisition will improve NORTHERN and. expand existing wetland habitats. The northern part of the focus area is bounded on the CALIFORNIA east approximately by the dividing ridge between the Eel River and the Sacramento River watersheds. Further south it follows the divide between the water COAST─ sheds of the Russian and Sacramento rivers. Two almost parallel ranges of the Coast Mountain Ranges extend through most of this focus area. The range on SOUTHERN the east is a continuation of the Mayacamas Mountains. In this range, near Potter Valley, rise the two largest rivers of this area: the Eel and Russian rivers. The Eel River flows northward and enters the Pacific Ocean FOCUS AREA just south of Humboldt Bay. The Russian River flows south and then west to empty into the ocean north of Bodega Head.

  • California Marine Life Protection Act Initiative Regional Profile of the North Central Coast Study Region May 7, 2007Draft
    California Marine Life Protection Act Initiative Regional Profile of the North Central Coast Study Region May 7, 2007Draft 1.0 Introduction The Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) was signed into law in 1999. The MLPA directs the state to redesign California’s system of marine protected areas to increase its coherence and effectiveness in protecting the state’s marine life and habitats, marine ecosystems, and marine natural heritage, as well as to improve recreational, educational and study opportunities provided by marine ecosystems. To the extent possible, the system is to be designed and managed as a network. In August 2004, the California Resources Agency, California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the Resource Legacy Fund Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding launching the MLPA Initiative and implementation of the MLPA in the central coast. Among other actions, the MLPA Initiative established the MLPA Blue Ribbon Task Force, the Master Plan Science Advisory Team (SAT), a statewide stakeholder interests group, and MLPA Initiative staff. A second memorandum of understanding, effective January 1, 2007, continues the public-private partnership for planning and implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the north central coast. By December 2006 five key objectives were achieved by the MLPA Initiative: (1) a draft Master Plan Framework for MPAs was developed, (2) alternative proposals for MPAs in the central coast study region were developed and submitted to CDFG, (3) a strategy was recommended for long-term funding for MPA implementation and management, (4) a report was prepared with recommendations to increase coordination and collaboration among state and federal agencies with the authority to manage marine resources, and (5) a recommended executive order was submitted to secure agreement among state agencies to complete implementation of a statewide Master Plan for MPAs by 2011.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California An Oral History with Shirley Larkins Interviews conducted by Don Warrin in 2012 Copyright © 2013 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Shirley Larkins, dated February 20, 2012. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. Excerpts up to 1000 words from this interview may be quoted for publication without seeking permission as long as the use is non-commercial and properly cited.
