Diablo Audubon Society has canceled all field trips and meetings from March 17 through April 7, and the May monthly program. If the timing of this order changes, we will reassess the situation and send another message. Please check our website and our Facebook page for updates.

Here are some tips from the National Audubon on how to enjoy backyard birds. Stay safe and well and we look forward to hearing about all your cool backyard birds later this year! Presidents' Letter Maren Smith & Ariana Rickard, MDAS Co-Presidents These are unprecedented times, and by the time this newsletter reaches your inbox, there may be more closures, precautions, and safeguards in place. The MDAS Board voted to cancel the April meeting due to guidelines available at that time, but in short time, with the State of California Stay-at-Home Order and CDC recommendations, we have also canceled the May monthly program and all field trips through April 7.

  • Native Oyster Reef Construction Underway in Richmond San
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Taylor Samuelson [email protected] 510-286-4182 April 19, 2019 Native Oyster Reef Construction Underway in Richmond San Francisco Bay Living Shorelines Project 350 Reef Structures will become habitat for Native Oysters and Pacific Herring Richmond, CA - From April 9-30, 350 oyster reef elements are being placed in nearshore areas to create a living shoreline near Giant Marsh at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline managed by East Bay Regional Park District in the City of Richmond. Eelgrass beds will be planted next to the reefs in the following weeks to create a habitat ideal for the recruitment of native Olympia oysters and other aquatic species. Living shorelines use nature-based infrastructure to create shoreline buffers that reduce the impacts from sea level rise and erosion, while creating habitat for fish and wildlife. Though a relatively new climate adaptation technique, living shorelines are proving to be an effective approach to protecting coastal resources and shoreline communities. The Giant Marsh project is one of a small number of living shoreline trial projects taking place in the San Francisco Bay, but is the only one that connects the submerged underwater habitats with adjacent wetlands and upland ecotone plant communities. This innovative demonstration project is testing a combined living shorelines approach with habitat elements at different tidal elevations at the same site, with a goal of encouraging other cities and partners to undertake this kind of climate adaptation habitat restoration project at additional sites in the bay. The multi-habitat project at Giant Marsh builds on lessons learned from the Coastal Conservancy’s living shoreline project constructed directly across the bay in San Rafael in 2012, which included the construction of oyster reefs and eelgrass beds.
