  • Preliminary Report Tropical Storm Bud 13 - 17 June 2000
    Preliminary Report Tropical Storm Bud 13 - 17 June 2000 Jack Beven National Hurricane Center 21 July 2000 a. Synoptic history The origins of Bud can be traced to a tropical wave that emerged from the coast of Africa on 22 May. The wave generated little convection as it moved across the Atlantic and Caribbean. The wave moved into the eastern Pacific on 6 June, but showed few signs of organization until 11 June when a broad low pressure area formed a few hundred miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. The initial Dvorak intensity estimates were made that day. Further development was slow, as the low exhibited multiple centers for much of 11-12 June. As one center emerged as dominant, the system became a tropical depression near 0600 UTC 13 June about 370 n mi south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico (Table 1). The depression became Tropical Storm Bud six hours later as it moved northwestward. Bud reached a peak intensity of 45 kt early on 14 June while turning north-northwestward. The peak intensity was maintained for 12 hr, followed by slow weakening due to a combination of increasing vertical shear and cooler sea surface temperatures. Bud passed just northeast of Socorro Island on 15 June as a 40 kt tropical storm. It weakened to a depression on 16 June as it slowed to an erratic drift about 70 n mi north of Socorro Island. Bud dissipated as a tropical cyclone on 17 June about 90 n mi north-northeast of Socorro Island; however, the remnant broad low persisted until 19 June.

After removing the dike surrounding the island in October 2019, the first high tide entered the 250-acre area of Leque Island for the first time in 135+ years, marking the beginning of the land transitioning back to an intertidal marsh. Leque Island is owned and managed by WDFW and is the area you see crossing the bridge to Camano Island. The project is designed to benefit species that rely on estuary habitat as part of their life cycle, including salmon, shorebirds, waterfowl, and other species. In addition, there is a new walking trail and boat launch. Skagit Audubon was a key participant in the advisory group providing input on project design. Loren Brokaw is Restoration Projects Coordinator for WDFW in the North Puget Sound region, extending from the Washington/Canada border to south of Seattle. Loren manages habitat restoration projects on WDFW lands that involve restoration of natural processes to benefit fish, wildlife, and their habitats. His work involves partnering with local organizations, planning, and executing stakeholder outreach plans, and securing grant funding to achieve habitat restoration objectives.

  • Translocating Endangered Kangaroo Rats in the San Joaquin Valley of California: Recommendations for Future Efforts
    90 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME Vol. 99, No. 2 California Fish and Game 99(2):90-103; 2013 Translocating endangered kangaroo rats in the San Joaquin Valley of California: recommendations for future efforts ERIN N. TENNANT*, DAVID J. GERMANO, AND BRIAN L. CYPHER Department of Biology, California State University, Bakersfield, CA 93311 USA (ENT, DJG) Endangered Species Recovery Program, California State University – Stanislaus, P.O. Box 9622, Bakersfield, CA 93389 USA (BLC) Present address of ENT: Central Region Lands Unit, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, 1234 E. Shaw Ave. Fresno, CA 93710 USA *Correspondent: [email protected] Since the early 1990s, translocation has been advocated as a means of mitigating impacts to endangered kangaroo rats from development activities in the San Joaquin Valley. The factors affecting translocation are numerous and complex, and failure rates are high. Based on work we have done primarily with Tipton kangaroo rats and on published information on translocations and reintroductions, we provide recommendations for future translocations or reintroductions of kangaroo rats. If the recommended criteria we offer cannot be satisfied, we advocate that translocations not be attempted. Translocation under less than optimal conditions significantly reduces the probability of success and also raises ethical questions. Key words: Dipodomys heermanni, Dipodomys ingens, Dipodomys nitratoides, reintroduction, San Joaquin Valley, Tipton kangaroo rat, translocation ________________________________________________________________________ Largely due to habitat loss, several species or subspecies of kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spp.) endemic to the San Joaquin Valley of California have been listed by the state and federal governments as endangered. These include the giant kangaroo rat (D. ingens), and two subspecies of the San Joaquin kangaroo rat (D.
