  • Transitions for the Delta Economy
    Transitions for the Delta Economy January 2012 Josué Medellín-Azuara, Ellen Hanak, Richard Howitt, and Jay Lund with research support from Molly Ferrell, Katherine Kramer, Michelle Lent, Davin Reed, and Elizabeth Stryjewski Supported with funding from the Watershed Sciences Center, University of California, Davis Summary The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta consists of some 737,000 acres of low-lying lands and channels at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers (Figure S1). This region lies at the very heart of California’s water policy debates, transporting vast flows of water from northern and eastern California to farming and population centers in the western and southern parts of the state. This critical water supply system is threatened by the likelihood that a large earthquake or other natural disaster could inflict catastrophic damage on its fragile levees, sending salt water toward the pumps at its southern edge. In another area of concern, water exports are currently under restriction while regulators and the courts seek to improve conditions for imperiled native fish. Leading policy proposals to address these issues include improvements in land and water management to benefit native species, and the development of a “dual conveyance” system for water exports, in which a new seismically resistant canal or tunnel would convey a portion of water supplies under or around the Delta instead of through the Delta’s channels. This focus on the Delta has caused considerable concern within the Delta itself, where residents and local governments have worried that changes in water supply and environmental management could harm the region’s economy and residents.

  • Distribution and Abundance
    DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE IN RELATION TO HABITAT AND LANDSCAPE FEATURES AND NEST SITE CHARACTERISTICS OF CALIFORNIA BLACK RAIL (Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus) IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY ESTUARY FINAL REPORT To the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service March 2002 Hildie Spautz* and Nadav Nur, PhD Point Reyes Bird Observatory 4990 Shoreline Highway Stinson Beach, CA 94970 *corresponding author contact: [email protected] PRBO Black Rail Report to FWS 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We conducted surveys for California Black Rails (Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus) at 34 tidal salt marshes in San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay, northern San Francisco Bay and western Marin County in 2000 and 2001 with the aims of: 1) providing the best current information on distribution and abundance of Black Rails, marsh by marsh, and total population size per bay region, 2) identifying vegetation, habitat, and landscape features that predict the presence of black rails, and 3) summarizing information on nesting and nest site characteristics. Abundance indices were higher at 8 marshes than in 1996 and earlier surveys, and lower in 4 others; with two showing no overall change. Of 13 marshes surveyed for the first time, Black Rails were detected at 7 sites. The absolute density calculated using the program DISTANCE averaged 2.63 (± 1.05 [S.E.]) birds/ha in San Pablo Bay and 3.44 birds/ha (± 0.73) in Suisun Bay. At each survey point we collected information on vegetation cover and structure, and calculated landscape metrics using ArcView GIS. We analyzed Black Rail presence or absence by first analyzing differences among marshes, and then by analyzing factors that influence detection of rails at each survey station.

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.

  • The Draft Black Point Community Plan Was Established As a Result of the Process to Update the 1978 Black Point Community Plan. O
    April 20, 2016 Draft Black Point Community Plan Summary of Key Changes The Draft Black Point Community Plan was established as a result of the process to update the 1978 Black Point Community Plan. On March 8, 2016, the Marin County Board of Supervisors directed staff to develop a separate community plan for the Black Point community. The updated Plan is based on the Planning Commission recommended draft of the Black Point/Green Point Communities Plan, which has been edited to remove content and policies not relevant to Black Point. A summary of the key changes are as follows: • Renamed the Draft Black Point/Green Point Community Plan to the Draft Black Point Community Plan; • Updated content to refer to Black Point throughout document; • Created a separate community plan boundary for Black Point; • Noted that all census demographic information for the community is based on the Black Point – Green Point Census Designated Place, which includes Green Point. Specific information for Black Point is not available at this time; • Proposed policies regulating home size and setbacks have been removed at the direction of the Board of Supervisors; and • Updated land use and zoning information in the Community Character and Land Use chapter. A separate version of the Draft is also available showing all changes in strike-out and underline format on www.marincounty.org/blackpoint or http://www.marincounty.org/~/media/files/departments/cd/planning/community- planning/blackpoint/blackpoint_draft_tracked_04152016.pdf?la=en.

  • California Clapper Rail (Rallus Longirostris Obsoletus) Population Monitoring: 2005-2008
    California Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus) Population monitoring: 2005-2008 Leonard Liu, Julian Wood, Nadav Nur, Diana Stralberg, and Mark Herzog PRBO Conservation Science 3820 Cypress Drive #11, Petaluma, CA 94954 FINAL September 29, 2009 Prepared for: California Department of Fish and Game 4001 N. Wilson Way Stockton, CA 95205 PRBO California Clapper Rail Monitoring Report, 2005-2008 FINAL Abstract PRBO Conservation Science conducted call-count surveys for California Clapper Rail ( Rallus longirostrus obsoletus ) at 53 sites throughout the San Francisco Bay Estuary from 2005 through 2008. To maximize the spatial coverage of sites, surveys were coordinated with partners conducting call-count surveys (Avocet Research Associates, California Department of Fish and Game, California Coastal Conservancy’s Invasive Spartina Project, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) resulting in a total of 180 sites surveyed, covering all high-quality habitat and the majority of lower-quality habitat . We estimated annual site-specific density estimates using distance sampling and program DISTANCE and detected a negative short-term trend of -20.6% (±3.8%) from 2005 through 2008. There were no significant changes in densities from 2005 to 2006 or from 2006 to 2007. From 2007 to 2008, an Estuary-wide negative change was detected (-46.0%, ±6.75%) which was driven by a dramatic decrease in South San Francisco Bay (-57.4% ±5.0%). We tested the power to detect a 10-year trend for five different monitoring scenarios and found that detecting an Estuary-wide negative trend of 13.9% or greater over a 10-year period with 80% power is possible under the current monitoring design (90 sites/year with effort allocated equally among sites).
