Direct flights from SFO to La Paz, and Los Cabos to SFO are available but are limited. Flights with layovers in San Diego or Los Angeles will cost less than direct flights. If you would like to use a travel agent to book your flights, we suggest Bob Entwisle at E&E Travel at (415) 819-5665. WHAT TO BRING Luggage Travel light. Your gear should fit in a medium duffel bag and small carry-on bag. Your carry-on should be less than 15 pounds. We recommend using a dry bag or backpack. Both bags should be collapsible for easy storage on the boat in small space. Do not bring bags with hard frames as they are difficult to stow. Gear We have found that people often only use about half of what they bring. A great way to bring only what you use is to lay all your items out and reduce it by 50%.

  • Brief History Timeline 2018 (PDF)
    TIMELINE ~ BRIEF HISTORY OF SUGARLOAF COVE, SICA, AND SUGARLOAF: THE NORTH SHORE STEWARDSHIP ASSOCIATION 10,000 P.C. Scattered archeological finds indicate Paleo-Indians occupy the area around Lake Superior’s North Shore after the final retreat of glaciers in the last Ice Age (Pleistocene Epoch). A variety of indigenous peoples inhabit the area over thousands of years. 1600s French explorers have the first contact with indigenous peoples in the area in the early to mid-1600s. Fur trade between native tribes and the French, British, and Dutch flourishes in the 1700s and early 1800s. 1854 The Ojibwe, who were established by then as the primary native tribe in northeastern Minnesota, cede substantially all the Arrowhead region, including Sugarloaf Cove, to the federal government in the Second Treaty of La Pointe, opening the area to European settlement. Settlers, mostly Scandinavian, flock to the North Shore and began commercial fishing and logging operations. 1880s Extensive logging begins in Cook County, including depletion of old growth red and white pine around Sugarloaf Cove. 1899 The John Gunderson family from Norway homesteads Sugarloaf Cove property. 1902 Consolidated Water Power & Paper Company of Wisconsin (“Consolidated”) begins a pulp paper business in Rhinelander (name changed to Consolidated Papers in 1962). 1909 The Superior National Forest is established. 1920s In 1923, Consolidated begins harvesting wood from Canada and rafting pulpwood logs across Lake Superior to Ashland for transport to Rhinelander for processing. In 1925, Consolidated acquires a large tract of timberland in Cook County from which to harvest pulpwood (mostly spruce, jack pine, and balsam fir).

  • Nature-Based Coastal Defenses in Southeast Florida Published by Coral Cove Dune Restoration Project

Much infrastructure and many homes, businesses and natural areas from Key West to the Palm Beaches are already at or near sea level and vulnerable to flooding and erosion from waves and storm surges. The region had 5.6 million residents in 2010–a population greater than that of 30 states–and for many of these people, coastal flooding and erosion are not only anticipated risks of tomorrow’s hurricanes, but a regular consequence of today’s highest tides. Hurricane Sandy approaching the northeast coast of the United States. ©NASA Billions of dollars in property value may be swept away in one storm or slowly eroded by creeping sea level rise. This double threat, coupled with a clearly accelerating rate of sea level rise and predictions of stronger hurricanes and continued population growth in the years ahead, has led to increasing demand for action and willingness on the parts of the public and private sectors to be a part of solutions. Practical people and the government institutions that serve them want to know what those solutions are and what they will cost. Traditional “grey infrastructure” such as seawalls and breakwaters is already common in the region but it is not the only option. Grey infrastructure will always have a place here and in some instances it is the only sensible choice, but it has significant drawbacks.

  • Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft.

  • 1 | Page History of Dune Management in the NPS Assigned Area Of
    History of Dune Management in the NPS Assigned Area of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge November 2014 Updated April 2016 Prepared by the National Park Service, Assateague Island National Seashore Dune management in the National Park Service (NPS) assigned area and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (the refuge) has a long history. Prior to 1962, a sand fence was put in place down the length of the refuge to create a dune line. Over the years, the sand fence/dune line had sustained some damage, and a tremendous storm in 1962 destroyed much of it and the natural dune system. Starting in 1963, the dune fence was completely repaired and a protective dune line was created all along the entire refuge ocean front. Most of the dune construction in the southern section of Assateague Island occurred in 1965 and 1966, after damage to the dunes in 1964 from Hurricane Gladys. Although records are sketchy, portions of the constructed dunes were destroyed by storms in 1981, 1982, with Hurricane Gloria in 1985, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, with Hurricane Gordon in 1994, 1998, and with Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd in 1999. For NPS, the purpose of the constructed dunes was to try to protect the recreational beach, NPS Visitor Center, bath-houses 1 and 2, other visitor use structures, and the parking lots. In the NPS assigned area, NPS tried different strategies, including planting dune grass, repairing dunes, relocating dunes and eventually rebuilding only dunes that were mandatory for protecting NPS infrastructure. As the dunes were built, overwhelmed by storms and knocked down, and then rebuilt, it became obvious to park and refuge managers that the artificial dune system failed to prevent significant facility and infrastructure damage.
