    Crashing waves, redwoods and historic sites Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area Some of the most beautiful sights in California can be found in Monterey area California State Parks. Rocky cliffs, crashing waves, redwood trees, and historic sites are within an easy drive of each other. "When you look at the diversity of state parks within the Monterey District area, you begin to realize that there is something for everyone - recreational activities, scenic beauty, natural and cultural history sites, and educational programs,” said Dave Schaechtele, State Parks Monterey District Public Information Officer. “There are great places to have fun with families and friends, and peaceful and inspirational settings that are sure to bring out the poet, writer, photographer, or artist in you. Some people return to their favorite state parks, year-after-year, while others venture out and discover some new and wonderful places that are then added to their 'favorites' list." State Parks in the area include: Limekiln State Park, 54 miles south of Carmel off Highway One and two miles south of the town of Lucia, features vistas of the Big Sur coast, redwoods, and the remains of historic limekilns. The Rockland Lime and Lumber Company built these rock and steel furnaces in 1887 to cook the limestone mined from the canyon walls. The 711-acre park allows visitors an opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of Big Sur’s southern coast. The park has the only safe access to the shoreline along this section of cast. For reservations at the park’s 36 campsites, call ReserveAmerica at (800) 444- PARK (7275).

CALIFORNIA’S OCEAN ECONOMY Abstract California’s Ocean Economy is the most expansive study of its kind in the nation and provides an update to the 1994 economic study conducted by the California Research Bureau and later released as part of the Resources Agency ocean strategy titled, California’s Ocean Resources: An Agenda for the Future. 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.

  • The Breeding Status of the Snowy Plover in California
    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 12, Number 1, 1981 THE BREEDING STATUS OF THE SNOWY PLOVER IN CALIFORNIA GARY W. PAGE and LYNNE E. STENZEL, Editors, Point Reyes Bird Observatory, 4990 Shoreline Highway, StinsonBeach, California94970 The westernrace of the Snowy Plover (Charadriusalexandrinus nioosus) breeds on the Pacific coast from southern Washington to southern Baja California, inland in Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and along the coastsof Texas and northeasternMexico (AOU 1957). For many yearsornithologists believed that the number of Snowy Plovers breeding along the Pacific coast was decliningas developmentdestroyed suitable habitat. In May, June and July, from 1977 to 1980, Point Reyes Bird Observatory(PRBO) biologistsand volunteers conducted surveys of potential breeding habitat throughout Californiato gather informationon the distributionand abundanceof Snowy Plovers.This paper summarizesthe resultsof thosesurveys and the available data on the species'past abundanceand distribution.We attempt to define suitablebreeding habitat and to describethe effectsof human activitieson it. Detailedstudies of marked birdsundertaken by John and Jane Warriner at Pajaro Dunes on MontereyBay have been very helpfulin interpretingthe surveyresults. Their informationon migrationperiods, mid-breedingseason movements and the detection rate of birds on censuses is summarized in this paper. Detailed information on the occurrence of birds at specificsites is available in a report (Page and Stenzel 1979) on file with the California Department of Fish and Game in Sacramento. If readers have information indicatinggreater breeding numbers or know of breedingsites not mentioned here, we and the Departmentof Fishand Game encouragethem to contactus. METHODS The breedingsurvey covered the coastbetween the Golden Gate and the Oregon border in 1977, the remainder of the California coastand interior in 1978, and the ChannelIslands from 1978 to 1980.
