2011 Progress Report Full Version 02 12.Indd
CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed.

California State Parks Western Snowy Plover Management 2009 System-Wide Summary Report
California State Parks Western Snowy Plover Management 2009 System-wide Summary Report In 1993, the coastal population of western snowy plover (WSP) in California, Washington and Oregon was listed as a threatened species under the Federal Endangered Species Act due to habitat loss and disturbance throughout its coastal breeding range. In 2001, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) released a draft WSP recovery plan that identified important management actions needed to restore WSP populations to sustainable levels. Since California State Parks manages about 28% of California’s coastline and a significant portion of WSP nesting habitat, many of the actions called for were pertinent to state park lands. Many of the management recommendations were directed at reducing visitor impacts since visitor beach use overlaps with WSP nesting season (March to September). In 2002, California State Parks developed a comprehensive set of WSP management guidelines for state park lands based on the information contained in the draft recovery plan. That same year a special directive was issued by State Park management mandating the implementation of the most important action items which focused on nest area protection (such as symbolic fencing), nest monitoring, and public education to increase visitor awareness and compliance to regulations that protect plover and their nesting habitat. In 2007 USFWS completed its Final Recovery Plan for the WSP; no new management implications for State Parks. This 2009 State Parks System-wide Summary Report summarizes management actions taken during the 2009 calendar year and results from nest monitoring. This information was obtained from the individual annual area reports prepared by State Park districts offices and by the Point Reyes Bird Observatory - Conservation Science (for Monterey Bay and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area).

This report from the National Ocean Economics Program (NOEP) provides a more comprehensive understanding of the economic role of California’s ocean resources than has been available to date. It also provides California with strong evidence that its unique ocean and coastal resources are important to sustaining California’s economy. This information highlights the economic importance of the ocean and coast to California and the nation and underscores the need for continued leadership in balancing resource protection and economic development.
