This show was originally broadcast on KWMR in Point Reyes Station, California. Thanks for listening! (Music) Jennifer Stock: Welcome to another edition of Ocean Currents. I’m your host Jennifer Stock. On this show we talk with scientists, educators, fishermen, explorers, policymakers, ocean enthusiasts, kids, authors and more all uncovering and learning about the mysterious and vital part of our planet, the blue ocean. I bring this show to you monthly from NOAA's Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, one of four National Marine Sanctuaries in California all working to protect unique and biologically diverse ecosystems. Just offshore of the KWMR listening area, on the West Marin coast, are the Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries which together protect 4,581 square miles of rocky shorelines, sandy seafloors, rocky banks, deep sea canyons and maritime landscapes and artifacts. I’ve been off the air for a while and I’m so excited to dive back into ocean interviews to share with you listeners. I’m always open for suggestions for shows and interviews, so just a little promo at the beginning of the show. Please let me know what you want to hear about. You can email me at [email protected]. It’s a fresh year and I’m just thinking about what we’ll be discussing on Ocean Currents.

This radio program was originally broadcast on KWMR in Point Reyes Station, California. Thanks for listening! (Music) Jennifer Stock: Hi there, everyone. Good afternoon. You're listening to Ocean Currents, a show where we talk about the blue part of our planet, the mighty ocean. My name is Jennifer Stock and I bring this show to KWMR from the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, which is one of the most unique, vibrant marine ecosystems off the coast here of Point Reyes and part of a national system of special marine protected areas off the coast here. On Ocean Currents, we focus on what's happening out there in what covers three-quarters of the planet. So, there's a lot of territory to cover on this show. We talk about discoveries, research, ocean policy, and ways for us land-based folks to get involved and learn more. This program runs the first Monday of every month if you'd like to tune in regularly and it's part of the West Marin Matters series where every Monday at 1 on KWMR, you can tune in to listen in about a local environmental or economic topic. This is a special month in June. We celebrate World Oceans Day. It's actually tomorrow and June 11th marks Jacques Cousteau’s 100th birthday.

  • Dear Supervisors- Attached Please Find Our Letter of Opposition to the SCA Ordinance for Sleepy Hollow As Drafted by Our Attorne
    From: Andrea Taber To: Rice, Katie; Kinsey, Steven; Adams, Susan; Arnold, Judy; Sears, Kathrin Cc: Dan Stein; Thorsen, Suzanne; Lai, Thomas Subject: Sleepy Hollow Homeowners Association Letter of Oppostion to the SCA Ordinance Date: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 8:12:53 PM Attachments: Document4.docx Dear Supervisors- Attached please find our letter of opposition to the SCA Ordinance for Sleepy Hollow as drafted by our attorney Neil Moran of Freitas McCarthy MacMahon & Keating, LLP. Sleepy Hollow Homeowners Association May 3, 2013 Board of Supervisors of Marin County 3501 Civil Center Drive San Rafael, CA 94903-4157 Re: Stream Conservation Area (SCA) Proposed Amendments to the Development Code Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors: INTRODUCTION The Sleepy Hollow Homes Association (SHHA) objects to the proposed changes to Chapters 22.33 (Stream Protection) and 22.63 (Stream Conservation Area Permit) as they would apply to the residents of the unincorporated portion of San Anselmo known as Sleepy Hollow. We ask that the County exempt and/or delay implementation of any changes to Chapters 22.33 and 22.63 as to the city-centered corridor streams, including Sleepy Hollow. The SHHA supports implementation of the proposed amendments to the San Geronimo Valley, to protect wildlife habitat in streams where Coho Salmon currently exist. The SHHA supports regulations to ensure the health and survival of the species in these areas. The SHHA recognizes the urgency of this matter to the San Geronimo Valley, both for the survival of the endangered and declining Coho population and for the property rights of the affected residents who are currently subject to a building moratorium.

  • Tomales Bay Harbor Seals: a Colony at Risk, 1992
    THIRD BIENNIAL STATE OF TOMALES BAY CONFERENCE October 24, 1992 Tomales Bay Harbor Seals: A Colony at Risk? Sarah G. Allen, Point Reyes Bird Observatory 4990 Shoreline Hwy, Stinson Beach Ca 94970 Mary Ellen King, Audubon Canyon Ranch 4900 Shoreline Hwy, Stinson Beach Ca 94970 INTRODUCTION Conservation, management, and protection of harbor seats come under the purview of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972 (Public Law 92-522). A primary directive of the MMPA is to protect marine mammal stocks from declining below their optimum sustainable population. To fulfill this directive in California, the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), has been conducting annual, state-wide, aerial surveys of harbor seals to assess the status of the population. Harbor seal colonies along the Point Reyes coastline represent about 20% of the estimated breeding population of the state of California, and consequently, have received attention from CDFG and NMFS. In cooperation with these agencies and supported by the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, S. Allen has been monitoring harbor seals in Point Reyes since 1982. Audubon Canyon Ranch has supported surveys in Tomales Bay conducted by M. King and volunteers since 1991. Tomales Bay is one of several locations along the Point Reyes Peninsula where harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) congregate onshore. Resting areas or "haul-out" sites in Point Reyes are found in remote areas on tidal sand bars, sandy pocket beaches, and offshore tidal ledges or islands (Figure 1).

  • Ethnohistory and Ethnogeography of the Coast Miwok and Their Neighbors, 1783-1840
    ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 by Randall Milliken Technical Paper presented to: National Park Service, Golden Gate NRA Cultural Resources and Museum Management Division Building 101, Fort Mason San Francisco, California Prepared by: Archaeological/Historical Consultants 609 Aileen Street Oakland, California 94609 June 2009 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the locations of Spanish-contact period Coast Miwok regional and local communities in lands of present Marin and Sonoma counties, California. Furthermore, it documents previously unavailable information about those Coast Miwok communities as they struggled to survive and reform themselves within the context of the Franciscan missions between 1783 and 1840. Supplementary information is provided about neighboring Southern Pomo-speaking communities to the north during the same time period. The staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) commissioned this study of the early native people of the Marin Peninsula upon recommendation from the report’s author. He had found that he was amassing a large amount of new information about the early Coast Miwoks at Mission Dolores in San Francisco while he was conducting a GGNRA-funded study of the Ramaytush Ohlone-speaking peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. The original scope of work for this study called for the analysis and synthesis of sources identifying the Coast Miwok tribal communities that inhabited GGNRA parklands in Marin County prior to Spanish colonization. In addition, it asked for the documentation of cultural ties between those earlier native people and the members of the present-day community of Coast Miwok. The geographic area studied here reaches far to the north of GGNRA lands on the Marin Peninsula to encompass all lands inhabited by Coast Miwoks, as well as lands inhabited by Pomos who intermarried with them at Mission San Rafael.

The annual flow regime developed considers individual species life stage needs. Approximately 37% of the average annual runoff is identified as being needed for spawning and rearing purposes. Typically, natural summer flows need augmentation and natural winter flows more than meet fishery needs. 1_/ Stream Evaluation Report No. 86-2, April 1986.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.
