River Otter (Lontra Canadensis) Monitoring Report 2019 Marin County, California
PO Box 103 Web: riverotterecology.org Forest Knolls, CA 94933 Facebook.com/BayAreaOtters 415.342.7956 Instagram: riverotterecology River Otter (Lontra canadensis) Monitoring Report 2019 Marin County, California The River Otter Ecology Project PO Box 103, Forest Knolls, CA 94933 By Megan Isadore and Terence Carroll February 21, 2020 Daniel Dietrich The River Otter Ecology Project 1 February 21, 2020 Background While historical records on river otters in the San Francisco Bay Area are sparse, existing information indicates that river otters had been extirpated from much, if not all, of Marin County by the 1930’s when both Grinnell and trapping records indicate no coastal river otters in Marin and southward. Beginning in 1989, river otters were noticed in coastal Marin County, particularly in Rodeo Lagoon, Walker Creek, and Lagunitas Creek. As apex predators using variety of terrestrial and aquatic habitat types, river otters are sentinel indicators of watershed function and health (Larivière and Walton 1998). They predate a wide variety of native and non-native species in freshwater and marine environments (Penland and Black 2009, Garwood and others 2013). They are susceptible to parasites such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia spp. (Gaydos and others 2007), and Vibrio spp. (Bouley and others 2015), and they may bioaccumulate environmental contaminants such as mercury, metals, organochlorines, and hydrocarbons (Francis and others 1994, Halbrook and others 1996, Bowyer and others 2003). Furthermore, understanding river otter ecology and population status is a critical element of ecosystem management (Bowen 1997, Kruuk 2006, Ben-David and Golden 2009). River otters transport aquatic nutrients to land (Ben-David and others 2004); transmit trophic effects (Crait and Ben-David 2007); and affect the composition and abundance of prey species via trophic subsidy (Garwood and others 2013).

Sir Francis Drake, California Encounter with Miwok, 1579
Library of Congress The World Encompassed by Sir Francis Drake (Voyage of 1577-1580) compiled by Drake’s nephew, Francis Drake, from the journal of the ship’s chaplain, Frances Fletcher, and others; published 1628 excerpts: Nova Albion (California), 1579 In December 1577 the Drake expedition departed England to sail west around the world, reaching the Pacific Ocean in eleven months after a calamitous sail through the Straits of Magellan. During the next year the Golden Hind sailed north along the continents’ west coast as far north as Vancouver, partly in search of the elusive “northwest passage.” Repelled by the cold weather they endured that far north, even in spring months, The World Encompassed by Sir Francis Drake, Drake and his crew turned south and anchored near San Francisco Bay in 1628, frontispiece and title page June 1579, remaining for five weeks to prepare for the long sail across the Pacific Ocean. There they met the native inhabitants, the Coastal Miwok. " In 38 deg. 30 min. we fell with a convenient and fit harbor,1 and June 17 came to anchor there, where we continued till the 23 day of July following. During all which time, notwith- standing it was in the height of summer, and so near the sun, yet were we continually visited with like nipping colds as we had felt before; insomuch that if violent exercises of our bodies, and busy employment about our necessary labors, had not sometimes compelled us to the contrary, we could very well have been contented to have kept about us still our winter clothes; yea (had our necessities suffered us) to have kept our beds; neither could we at any time, in whole fourteen days together, find the air so clear as to be able to take the height of sun or star [latitude].

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).

Climate and Weather
Point Reyes National Seashore Protection for your Cultural and Natural Heritage Climate and Weather While Point Reyes’ climate is generally described as a Mediterranean climate with cool rainy winters and warm dry summers, the peninsula’s weather can vary considerably from the headlands of the Na- tional Seashore to the inland areas of the Olema Valley. Visiting Point Reyes, you can experience extremes in weather within a few short miles. The key to the contrasts in weather is the Inverness Ridge. It sepa- rates the Headlands, dominated by the oceanic influences of the Pacific Ocean, from the Olema Valley, which is dominated by the terrestrial influences of the continental mainland. Leaning into the Wind You’ll often need to lean into the wind to keep your balance on the windiest place on the West Coast! Near the ocean on the western side of the Inverness Ridge, constant winds of moderate to strong velocity sweep the exposed headlands and outer beaches. During most of the year, particularly in summer, prevailing winds blow from the Northwest. In November and December, the winds shift to the south bringing some of the fiercest winds during southerly gales. Over the course of the year the average maximum wind velocity is 43 miles per hour. These strong winds are a faint breeze compared to the highest wind speed recorded at the point of 133 miles per hour. However, east of the Inverness Ridge, extremes are much less com- mon. Sheltered from the open ocean, winds are much lighter in veloc- ity, but it is an unusual day that does not bring some breezes to the Olema Valley.

Bolinas Lagoon Is One of Marin County's Most Significant Natural
"The lagoon is one of Marin County's most significant natural resources. The lagoon tidelands are publicly-owned. ... Along with Drake's Estero and Tomales Bay, Bolinas Lagoon provides an important coastal environment for fish, birds and mammals that is unparalleled along the northern California coast between San Francisco and Humboldt Bays. Open water, mudflat and marsh provide productive and diverse habitats for marine fishes, waterbirds, and marine mammals. Bolinas Lagoon is part of a much larger protected natural habitat complex that is part of or adjoins the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS, Pt. Reyes National Seashore, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Central California Coast Biosphere Preserve, Mt. Tamalpais State Park, and the Audubon Canyon Ranch Bird Sanctuary." Bolinas Lagoon. Located in California, less than 20 kilometers up the coast from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Bolinas Lagoon is a tidal embayment of open water, mudflat, and marsh which provides productive and diverse habitats for marine fishes, waterbirds, and marine mammals, and it is also part of a much larger protected natural habitat complex in the region. The site is located on the Pacific Flyway, which makes the Lagoon an ideal staging ground and stopover site for migratory birds, and the temperate climate provides wintering habitat for a wide array of ducks, geese, and shorebirds. The area supports a number of recreational uses, including the use of manually-powered watercraft. Bolinas Lagoon Open Space Preserve Marin County Open Space District Bolinas Lagoon is one of Marin County’s most significant natural resources. Its 1,100 acres, known as the Bolinas Lagoon Open Space Preserve and managed by the Marin County Open Space District, was designated a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention in 1998.

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.

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.

State of Early Learning and Care in Marin County
State of Early Learning and Care in Marin County Marin County Child Care Commission Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Overview The Marin County Child Care Commission strives to lead and support countywide plans and advocacy efforts that ensure access to high quality early care and education services. For the last twenty-four years, the Commission has been serving as an advisory committee to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Board of Supervisors, and the Superintendent of Schools. Acting as the county’s state- mandated Local Child Care Planning Council, the Commission is charged with outlining a Master Plan for child care in Marin County every five years. During the completion of this 2020 Master Plan the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was deeply felt by this community. The Marin Child Care Commission is acutely aware of how this crisis, as well as other threats such as wildfires, have a direct impact on the wellbeing of children and families. These disasters have changed the landscape of Early Childcare and Education, and there is much work to be done to ensure the continued delivery of critical services in the months ahead. Though not directly addressed in this report, the Commission plans to take action through increased collaboration with local agencies to develop ongoing guidance for coordinated disaster responses. Early learning and care is a holistic approach to the development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs that builds a foundation of lifelong learning and wellbeing. In the San Francisco Bay Area and Marin County in particular, the high cost of living, scarcity of housing, and long commute times result in significant demand for free or low-cost, high-quality child care and early learning resources.
