China Camp State Park 1 San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Site Description for China Camp State Park Location, Ownership, and Management: China Camp State Park, owned by the California State Parks and operated by Friends of China Camp, is located on the San Rafael shoreline of San Pablo Bay off of North San Pedro Road Road. Boaters can launch from a scenic beach located next to the pier and historic China Camp Village. The site is popular with kayakers and stand up paddlers because it is very scenic and is a good launch spot to explore the Marin shoreline. Contact Name: Maria Mowrey Contact Phone: (707) 769-5652 Contact E-mail: [email protected] Village Beach (south) Boat Launch Path Village Beach (north) Facility Description: China Camp State Park offers an exceptionally scenic setting for non- motorized boating from the sandy shoreline near the China Camp village. The beach near China Camp village is a sand and pebble beach that extends 0.25 miles, with a designated boat launch area located in the southern portion of the village area parking lot. China Camp village has an unpaved parking lot, restrooms, picnic tables, boat rinse, and showers. The Quan Bros. snack shop at China Camp village is open on weekends. Food, beverages, and ice cream are available. The museum and remaining historic structures from the village and a pier are also located here. Paved parking is also available at the top of the hill leading down to China Camp village, approximately 600 feet from the boat launch area. In addition to facilities at the village, China Camp State Park offers swimming, windsurfing, wildlife-watching, hike-in / bike-in camping, picknicking and 15 miles of mountain biking, hiking, and equestrian trails.

Additional Notes Related to Accessibility: Recent ADA enhancements have been made, including parking and restrooms. Access across the beach is not currently accessible; however, State Parks is supportive of a firm surface crossing for the boat launch area. There are three ADA parking spaces in the village lot. The parking lot surface is compact dirt and gravel. Additional Notes on Use of Site (Boating and Non-Boating) and Existing and Planned Management: Windsurfers and some kayakers launch from Bullhead Flat, located approximately 0.5 miles north of the China Camp village beach. The shoreline is eroding and facilities and parking are more limited at Bullhead Flat, so it provides a less suitable launch than the village beach. Large groups require an event permit from Friends of China Camp. San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail March 5, 2020 Site Description for China Camp State Park 7 Safety and Security, including Parking: China Camp is staffed by rangers and seasonal volunteers every day. California State Parks also patrols the park. Permitted hunting is allowed within the San Pablo Bay Wildlife Area, located approximately two miles away. Water Trail signage provides a warning about seasonal hunting and includes the State Fish and Wildlife website for more information. Extensive mudflats are exposed at low tides. Boaters need to plan to launch and land only during high to mid tides. At low tides, mudflats can extend several hundred yards offshore and make returning to the beach infeasible. Wildlife and Habitat Considerations: As discussed in the EIR Review, there are sensitive species within four miles, but none are known to exist in the immediate vicinity of the beach. There are no marshes along the beach, but marsh habitat is located along the shoreline north of the beach. These marshes provide ridgeway's rail and salt marsh harvest mouse habitat. There are currently two active heron or egret rookeries located within four miles of the site. One of those rookeries is on West Marin Island, which is a National Wildlife Refuge managed by USFWS, and is closed to the public. Rafting waterfowl may be present in San Pablo Bay. San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail March 5, 2020 Site Description for China Camp State Park 8 Education, Outreach, and Stewardship, Including Signage: Visitor center open from 10am to 5pm. Friends of China Camp regularly hosts events and guided tours, though no kayak-based interpretive programs currently occur. Accessibility of Sites within the Southern San Francisco Waterfront Geo-Region: There are twelve potential Water Trail sites identified within this geo-region: Buck’s Landing; Bullhead Flat; China Camp State Park; McNears Beach Park; Loch Lomond Marina: Beach Loch Lomond Marina: Ramp; Harbor 15 Restaurant; Starkweather Shoreline Park; San Quentin; Remillard Park; Marin Rowing Association Boathouse; and, Bon Air Landing. Of these, only McNears Beach provides broadly accessible launch/landing facilities. McNears Beach provides ADA parking, and a path of travel including a mobi-mat across the beach to the high tide line. The experiences that are available in the Marin/West San Pablo Bay Geo-Region are primarily rural, with more urban experiences available along the San Rafael Canal.

  • Sausalito's Vision for 2040
    The introductory chapter provides an overview of the General Plan, describing the purpose of the plan and its role for the City of Sausalito. The Introduction includes Sausalito’s Vision for 2040, the Authority and Purpose, Organization of the Sausalito General Plan, Implementation of the Plan, Public Participation in Creating the Plan, Sausalito’s History, and Future Trends and Assumptions. SAUSALITO’S VISION FOR 2040 VISION STATEMENT Sausalito is a thriving, safe, and friendly community that sustainably cultivates its natural beauty, history, and its arts and waterfront culture. Due to sea level rise and the continuing effects of climate change, the city seeks to bridge the compelling features and attributes of the city’s past, particularly its unique shoreline neighborhoods, with the environmental inevitabilities of its future. Sausalito embraces environmental stewardship and is dedicated to climate leadership while it strives to conserve the cultural, historic, artistic, business and neighborhood diversity and character that make up the Sausalito community. OVERALL COMMUNITY GOALS The General Plan Update addresses the new and many continuing issues confronting the city since the General Plan was adopted in 1995. The General Plan Update also responds to the many changing conditions of the region, county, and city since the beginning of the 21st century. The following eleven broad goals serve as the basis for more specific policies and implementation strategies. 1. Maintain Sausalito’s small-scale residential neighborhoods, recognizing their geographical, architectural, and cultural diversity, while supporting a range of housing options. 2. Recognize and perpetuate the defining characteristics of Sausalito, including its aesthetic beauty, scenic features, natural and built environment, its history, and its diverse culture.

  • Section 3.4 Biological Resources 3.4- Biological Resources
    SECTION 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4- BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section discusses the existing sensitive biological resources of the San Francisco Bay Estuary (the Estuary) that could be affected by project-related construction and locally increased levels of boating use, identifies potential impacts to those resources, and recommends mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts. The Initial Study for this project identified potentially significant impacts on shorebirds and rafting waterbirds, marine mammals (harbor seals), and wetlands habitats and species. The potential for spread of invasive species also was identified as a possible impact. 3.4.1 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES SETTING HABITATS WITHIN AND AROUND SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY The vegetation and wildlife of bayland environments varies among geographic subregions in the bay (Figure 3.4-1), and also with the predominant land uses: urban (commercial, residential, industrial/port), urban/wildland interface, rural, and agricultural. For the purposes of discussion of biological resources, the Estuary is divided into Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, Central San Francisco Bay, and South San Francisco Bay (See Figure 3.4-2). The general landscape structure of the Estuary’s vegetation and habitats within the geographic scope of the WT is described below. URBAN SHORELINES Urban shorelines in the San Francisco Estuary are generally formed by artificial fill and structures armored with revetments, seawalls, rip-rap, pilings, and other structures. Waterways and embayments adjacent to urban shores are often dredged. With some important exceptions, tidal wetland vegetation and habitats adjacent to urban shores are often formed on steep slopes, and are relatively recently formed (historic infilled sediment) in narrow strips.

The Bay Plan was prepared by the Commission over a three-year period pursuant to the McAteer-Petris Act of 1965 which established the Commission as a temporary agency to prepare an enforceable plan to guide the future protection and use of San Francisco Bay and its shoreline. In 1969, the Legislature acted upon the Commission’s recommendations in the Bay Plan and revised the McAteer-Petris Act by designating the Commission as the agency responsible for maintaining and carrying out the provisions of the Act and the Bay Plan for the protection of the Bay and its great natural resources and the development of the Bay and shore- line to their highest potential with a minimum of Bay fill.

These public lynchings have rightfully sparked a long overdue global shift that is evident in the massive protest movement. We know that these are not isolated events but a culmination of over 400 years of racialized terror against Black people. For over half of the United States’ history, slavery was legal. Even after emancipation, Black people have experienced segregation, mass incarceration, barriers to resources and ongoing disenfranchisement. It would be a dangerous mistake to believe that racial violence is isolated to the distant past — when in fact it continues to exist within our own communities.

  • California Clapper Rail Population Monitoring 2009 Annual Report
    2013 Annual Report to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: California Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus) TE-807078-14 Submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Sacramento 8 January 2014 Submitted by Point Blue Conservation Science Julian Wood, Xeronimo Castaneda, Megan Elrod, Nadav Nur Point Blue Conservation Science, 3820 Cypress Drive #11, Petaluma, CA 94954 Contact: [email protected] Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/jfwm/article-supplement/203624/pdf/092014-jfwm-069_s7 by guest on 02 October 2021 INTRODUCTION The California Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus), hereafter, CCR, is one of the most endangered species in California. The species is dependent on tidal wetlands, which have decreased over 75% from the historical extent in San Francisco Bay. A complete survey of its population and distribution within the San Francisco Bay Estuary was begun in 2005. In 2013, Point Blue Conservation Science (formerly PRBO) completed the ninth year of field work designed to improve Estuary-wide population estimates, trends in abundance, and information on important habitat and landscape features for the CCR. Field work was performed in collaboration with partners conducting call- count surveys including Avocet Research Associates (ARA), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), California Coastal Conservancy’s Invasive Spartina Project (ISP), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). This report summarizes Point Blue’s California Clapper Rail surveys in 2013 under U.S. Fish and Wildlife service permit TE-807078-14. In previous years (2005-2011), Point Blue received funding to compile and analyze data from all agencies and organizations participating in standardized Baywide CCR surveys.
