Its content incorporates a distillation of over four years of long hours, hard work and active contributions by an appointed taskforce committee, City staff, volunteers and other stakeholders and contributors. The document is an interim product that is intended to further the overall process of creating a Mare Island Regional Park thus moving closer towards the parks opening for public uses and appreciation. The Taskforce Report includes the following components: x Baseline characterization of the park site in terms of conditions and resources; x A description of future uses of the park based on resource opportunities and sensitivities and other management determinants; x A phased sequence of management actions; x Identification of the required preconditions (triggers) that must be in place prior to initiating specific development, operations, use and/or management functions at the park site; x A comparison of various governance and operating models and then recommendations for the optimum structure x Funding strategies for implementation of the proposed actions including acquisition, improvements, and management actions. The purpose of this report therefore, is to characterize a process and identify strategies towards realization of establishing a regional park on Mare Island. In doing so, it identifies significant supporting features and existing resources within the park, provides a vision and establishes a process for its development including graduated public access, funding mechanisms, and strategies for the management and maintenance of the park. This is undertaken to ensure the resources protection and to enable the publics enjoyment and enrichment from the abundant historic and natural resources found within the park. 5 Mare Island Regional Park Task force Report 2.0 Introduction Mare Island, situated within the incorporated boundaries of the City of Vallejo, is one of the most important historical locales in California. This report serves as an affirmation of the commitment and resolve by the community and a how to formula for making a portion of the island available to the public for use as parkland in perpetuity so that the public may gain the benefit of the historic, natural and aesthetic resources embodied on this portion of the island. The Mare Island Regional Park Task Force Report identifies strategies for the realization of a regional park on Mare Island. In this report significant supporting features and existing structures within the future park site are characterized both in terms of the opportunities they provide as well as their inherent sensitivities. These features are viewed as the foundation for the creation of the park. The Task Force Report is intended to guide decision-making regarding the development process, and best uses of the park, which include open space and habitat preservation, facility restoration and a range of public educational and recreational uses. The report is also intended

  • San Pablo Bay and Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuges - Refuges in the North Bay by Bryan Winton
    San Pablo Bay NWR Tideline Newsletter Archives San Pablo Bay and Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuges - Refuges in the North Bay by Bryan Winton Editor’s Note: In March 2003, the National Wildlife Refuge System will be celebrating its 100th anniversary. This system is the world’s most unique network of lands and waters set aside specifically for the conservation of fish, wildlife and plants. President Theodore Roosevelt established the first refuge, 3- acre Pelican Island Bird Reservation in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, in 1903. Roosevelt went on to create 55 more refuges before he left office in 1909; today the refuge system encompasses more than 535 units spread over 94 million acres. Leading up to 2003, the Tideline will feature each national wildlife refuge in the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. This complex is made up of seven Refuges (soon to be eight) located throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and headquartered at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Fremont. We hope these articles will enhance your appreciation of the uniqueness of each refuge and the diversity of habitats and wildlife in the San Francisco Bay Area. San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge Tucked away in the northern reaches of the San Francisco Bay estuary lies a body of water and land unique to the San Francisco Bay Area. Every winter, thousands of canvasbacks - one of North America’s largest and fastest flying ducks, will descend into San Pablo Bay and the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge not only boasts the largest wintering population of canvasbacks on the west coast, it protects the largest remaining contiguous patch of pickleweed-dominated tidal marsh found in the northern San Francisco Bay - habitat critical to Aerial view of San Pablo Bay NWR the survival of the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.

    Communication from Public Name: Daniel Gaines Date Submitted: 11/12/2020 12:54 PM Council File No: 18-1246 Comments for Public Posting: This ordinance, if passed, would essentially ignore our housing crisis and prioritize tourists over long term tenants and the wealthy over people who desperately need housing. As someone who works in homeless services, I see firsthand how the shortage of housing is a public health issue for the folks I serve, and we know that deaths of unhoused individuals have skyrocketed in recent months. LA is in a state of emergency when it comes to housing and I implore the council to alleviate the crisis of houselessness BEFORE focusing on lodgings for tourists who all have homes to return to. It is unconscionable for our City to consider removing housing from the long-term rental market at a time when tenants are being displaced and and homelessness is increasing. If passed, this ordinance will potentially remove 14,740 homes from the long term rental market in Los Angeles. (LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-12-19/los-angeles-vacation-rentals-city-council-considers-loosening-rules) In these dire times, we are asking PLUM to please consider who really needs their protection: working Angelenos trying to stay in their homes, or the wealthiest among us trying to profit from second homes they don’t actually live in?

  • Status of Ospreys Nesting on San Francisco Bay ANTHONY J
    STATUS OF OSPREYS NESTING ON SAN FRANCISCO BAY ANTHONY J. BRAKE, 1201 Brickyard Way, Richmond, California 94801; [email protected] HARVEY A. WILSON, 1113 Otis Drive, Alameda, California 94501; [email protected] ROBIN LEONG, 336 Benson Avenue, Vallejo, California 94590 ALLEN M. FISH, Golden Gate Raptor Observatory, Building 1064, Fort Cronkhite, Sausalito, California 94965 ABSTRACT: Historical records from the early 1900s, as well as surveys updated in the late 1980s and more recent information from local breeding bird atlases, in- dicate that Ospreys rarely nested on San Francisco Bay prior to 2005. In 2013, we surveyed nesting Ospreys baywide and located 26 nesting pairs, 17 of which were successful and fledged 44 young. We also report on findings from previous annual nest surveys of a portion of San Francisco Bay beginning in 1999. These results demonstrate a greater breeding abundance than has previously been recognized. The density of Osprey nests is highest near the north end of San Francisco Bay, but nesting also appears to be expanding southward. Nearly all of the nests observed were built on artificial structures, some of which were inappropriate and required nests to be removed. Over half of unsuccessful pairs experienced significant human disturbance. We recommend that conservation efforts focus on reducing this ratio, and to help do so, we urge erecting nest platforms as part of efforts to deter nesting when it conflicts with human activity. The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a diurnal, piscivorous raptor that breeds or winters in a variety of habitats on all continents except Antarctica. Upon reaching maturity, the birds typically return close to their natal site to breed.

Beginning around Vallejo and running roughly six miles to Suisun Bay, Grizzly Bay, and the Sacramento possesses a T River Delta, the Strait has, in the daily life of California, reduced down to the Carquinez and Benicia-Martinez bridges. Motorists are as likely to be searching for grim grandeur. their toll as looking at the land and water below. Few will exit the interstates. Why stop at Martinez, Benicia, Vallejo, Crockett, or Port Costa? They are going west to Napa or San Francisco or east to Sacramento. Like travelers’ destinations, California’s future also appears to lie elsewhere. Once, much of what moved out of Northern California came through these communities, but now the Strait seems left with only the detritus of California’s past. The detritus still possesses a grim grandeur. To the east, the Mothball Fleet— originally composed of transports and battleships that helped win World War II— cluster tightly together, toxic and rusting, in Suisun Bay. Just west of the bridges, Mare Island (really a peninsula with a slough running through it) sits across the mouth of the Napa River. The United States established a naval base and shipyard there in 1854, and the island remained central to US military efforts from the Civil Boom: A Journal of California, Vol. 2, Number 2, pps 55–69.
