Another successful mission at the Golden Gate to pull acoustic samples, conduct wildlife surveys and visual observations.

Thanks to our friends at the @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social for offering an EXO2 sensor to test the waters for salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen.

Natural objects of beauty or interest, such as antlers, petrified wood, or colored rocks, enhance the experience of an outdoor area and should be left for others to enjoy a sense of discovery.
Admire it. Appreciate it. Then leave it be.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are like underwater nature preserves, where ocean life gets a fighting chance to recover. MPAs are central to the 30×30 conservation goal. Why are they so effective, and what do they actually look like? Read more: sonomalandtrust.org/enews/october-2025

🌧️ Rain causes stormwater runoff to carry litter, oil, and chemicals into rivers and oceans. To reduce pollution, practice Leave No Trace:

💙 Dispose of waste properly
💙 Use natural or no pesticides and fertilizers
💙 Pick up after pets
💙 Secure outdoor items

During the government shutdown, many public spaces remain open, but they need us more than ever. With limited staff, every small action matters.

Durante el cierre del gobierno, muchos espacios públicos permanecen abiertos, pero ahora nos necesitan más que nunca.

Small disturbances can change wildlife behavior for years.
