The marshy places along the coasts can absorb water like a sponge, then release it slowly so creeks and culverts don’t overflow.

Wetlands are not just good for flood control, said David Lewis, the organization’s executive director. “They’re just about the most biologically rich areas in the planet.” And they may sequester carbon as well, slowing down the phenomenon behind global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Mount, Lewis said a lot of progress is being made toward restoring Bay Area wetlands. “Actually it has been proceeding fairly rapidly in areas where it was easy to do,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Progress So Far\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, salt ponds in Hayward around the San Mateo Bridge have already been restored to tidal marshes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/11/30/a-decade-of-flood-engineering-in-napa-awaits-test-from-nature/\">work to restore the flood plain\u003c/a> for the Napa River stood the test of last week’s storm. The river has flooded 21 times in the past century but \u003ca href=\"http://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/river-creeks-stay-within-banks-in-city-of-napa/article_4c47510a-3ceb-11e2-b3c7-001a4bcf887a.html\">flowed cheerfully inside its banks\u003c/a> over the weekend as the rain drenched the countryside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis agreed that Silicon Valley is still at high risk. Alviso and parts of San Jose are below sea level, for example. The Oracle Campus in Redwood Shores is on land that was once tidal marshes. Much of the valley has actually gotten lower in recent decades because groundwater was pumped out for municipal supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a perspective on what Silicon Valley companies are doing – from someone willing to talk about it – Lewis referred me to Mike Mielke, vice president for environment programs and policy at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The SVLG counts among its members Cisco, Google, Lockheed and Oracle. Altogether the companies in the group have three trillion dollars in annual revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not aware of individual actions,” Mielke told me when I asked what these companies are doing to save themselves and their neighbors from the coming deluge. “I have not gotten a lot of feedback from individual companies, though I have reached out to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But collectively the companies supported Measure B in Santa Clara, which renewed a property tax to pay for clean water and some flood protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the group has signed onto a \u003ca href=\"http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/feinstein-in-the-news?ID=77e619c1-f7d0-4e00-87a7-0db6f8531827\">fundraising effort\u003c/a> with Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, aiming to raise $1 billion for new levees and wetlands restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mielke said the organizers hope to get the federal government to chip in a third, the state government to chip in another third and local government to come up with the remaining third. In other words, the SVLG feels that taxpayers should foot the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked if a few companies like Google couldn’t get together and just, you know, write a few checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mielke turns Mount’s argument about infrastructure on its head. Just because these companies have a lot of money doesn’t mean they have the greatest obligation to pay for flood protection, he said. “It’s not just the individual companies that are at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much for soaking the rich.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The river has flooded 21 times in the past century but \u003ca href=\"http://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/river-creeks-stay-within-banks-in-city-of-napa/article_4c47510a-3ceb-11e2-b3c7-001a4bcf887a.html\">flowed cheerfully inside its banks\u003c/a> over the weekend as the rain drenched the countryside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis agreed that Silicon Valley is still at high risk. Alviso and parts of San Jose are below sea level, for example. The Oracle Campus in Redwood Shores is on land that was once tidal marshes. Much of the valley has actually gotten lower in recent decades because groundwater was pumped out for municipal supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a perspective on what Silicon Valley companies are doing – from someone willing to talk about it – Lewis referred me to Mike Mielke, vice president for environment programs and policy at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The SVLG counts among its members Cisco, Google, Lockheed and Oracle. Altogether the companies in the group have three trillion dollars in annual revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not aware of individual actions,” Mielke told me when I asked what these companies are doing to save themselves and their neighbors from the coming deluge. “I have not gotten a lot of feedback from individual companies, though I have reached out to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But collectively the companies supported Measure B in Santa Clara, which renewed a property tax to pay for clean water and some flood protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the group has signed onto a \u003ca href=\"http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/feinstein-in-the-news?ID=77e619c1-f7d0-4e00-87a7-0db6f8531827\">fundraising effort\u003c/a> with Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, aiming to raise $1 billion for new levees and wetlands restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mielke said the organizers hope to get the federal government to chip in a third, the state government to chip in another third and local government to come up with the remaining third. In other words, the SVLG feels that taxpayers should foot the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked if a few companies like Google couldn’t get together and just, you know, write a few checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mielke turns Mount’s argument about infrastructure on its head. Just because these companies have a lot of money doesn’t mean they have the greatest obligation to pay for flood protection, he said. “It’s not just the individual companies that are at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much for soaking the rich.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Just a few...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I was born and raised in San Francisco. As a child I went to Point Reyes long before it was \"federalized\". The \"National Seashore\" designation made great sense when it included the existing agricultural uses. This notion that it must be returned to some imagined wilderness is so narrow minded as to turn me into a red-neck, right wing mindless Republican! First the PETA people take away our foie gras and now Salazar takes away our oysters. Can chocolate and wine be far behind?\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>Sad...I've been going up there from the Bay Area for over 50 years and always loved picking up some oysters. As has been noted, the oyster is the \"canary in the coalmine\" and one of the best indicators that something is out of whack environmentally. The entire hydroenvironment of Pt. Reyes is one of the healthiest on earth, and there is no impact on harbour, elephant or any other seals that can be pinned on the oyster farm. Furthermore, dozens of people have just lost their jobs, and we'll be importing oysters from elsewhere on the west coast, and using valuable resources to do it. Greeeeat thinking there, Salazar.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>I think some of you are missing the bigger issue. Lunny bought the \"farm\" five years ago knowing that the lease was going to expire at the end of the month. This has nothing to do with oysters as a food source, or how good they are for the economy, or the environment. Oysters as a food source is B.S. how many people rely on oysters to feed there families? The price he paid for the farm reflected the fact that the business was only viable for five years. He is the one that decided to fight to extended the permit, which forced the government to waist all the money on the EIS and related studies. If the oyster farm is so important why did they give it a 40 year lease? Why didn't they write it into the law to allow it to exist forever? I'm surprised we have not heard from Lunny's lawyers about the inevitable law suit…\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>Well, well, well, looks like Norcal \"progressives\" are reaping what they sow. Centralized power and control is great until they inevitably start taking decisions that you do not agree with. Hopefully the majority of commenters on this blog are realizing that it usually sucks when big government takes over local decisions. Oakland's marijuana dispensaries will soon go the way of the Pt. Reyes oysters - who cares what the People of California want - after all, Big Brother Washington DC knows better than you.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>[T]his is the right decision. This isnt the radical new environmental movement destroying tradition, it is simply a contract being fulfilled\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>The local environmental forces that have contributed to the destruction of this wonderful operation have completely lost my support. I have donated money in the past to some of them, but never again. There has to be a balanced voice in all these things, and clearly the people who pushed for this have no sense of balance, and no sense of shame. Well, shame on them, anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>Thank you Ken Salazar for making a difficult and honest decision. I enjoy oysters more, eat more oysters, and definitely cook better oysters than probably any of you other commenters. Frankly though, it was time for this business to shut itself down and allow the estuary to return to nature as had been intended by the original designers of the Pt. Reyes National Seashore - to whom we should all feel indebted.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Just a few...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I was born and raised in San Francisco. As a child I went to Point Reyes long before it was \"federalized\". The \"National Seashore\" designation made great sense when it included the existing agricultural uses. This notion that it must be returned to some imagined wilderness is so narrow minded as to turn me into a red-neck, right wing mindless Republican! First the PETA people take away our foie gras and now Salazar takes away our oysters. Can chocolate and wine be far behind?\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>Sad...I've been going up there from the Bay Area for over 50 years and always loved picking up some oysters. As has been noted, the oyster is the \"canary in the coalmine\" and one of the best indicators that something is out of whack environmentally. The entire hydroenvironment of Pt. Reyes is one of the healthiest on earth, and there is no impact on harbour, elephant or any other seals that can be pinned on the oyster farm. Furthermore, dozens of people have just lost their jobs, and we'll be importing oysters from elsewhere on the west coast, and using valuable resources to do it. Greeeeat thinking there, Salazar.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>I think some of you are missing the bigger issue. Lunny bought the \"farm\" five years ago knowing that the lease was going to expire at the end of the month. This has nothing to do with oysters as a food source, or how good they are for the economy, or the environment. Oysters as a food source is B.S. how many people rely on oysters to feed there families? The price he paid for the farm reflected the fact that the business was only viable for five years. He is the one that decided to fight to extended the permit, which forced the government to waist all the money on the EIS and related studies. If the oyster farm is so important why did they give it a 40 year lease? Why didn't they write it into the law to allow it to exist forever? I'm surprised we have not heard from Lunny's lawyers about the inevitable law suit…\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>Well, well, well, looks like Norcal \"progressives\" are reaping what they sow. Centralized power and control is great until they inevitably start taking decisions that you do not agree with. Hopefully the majority of commenters on this blog are realizing that it usually sucks when big government takes over local decisions. Oakland's marijuana dispensaries will soon go the way of the Pt. Reyes oysters - who cares what the People of California want - after all, Big Brother Washington DC knows better than you.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>[T]his is the right decision. This isnt the radical new environmental movement destroying tradition, it is simply a contract being fulfilled\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>The local environmental forces that have contributed to the destruction of this wonderful operation have completely lost my support. I have donated money in the past to some of them, but never again. There has to be a balanced voice in all these things, and clearly the people who pushed for this have no sense of balance, and no sense of shame. Well, shame on them, anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>Thank you Ken Salazar for making a difficult and honest decision. I enjoy oysters more, eat more oysters, and definitely cook better oysters than probably any of you other commenters. Frankly though, it was time for this business to shut itself down and allow the estuary to return to nature as had been intended by the original designers of the Pt. Reyes National Seashore - to whom we should all feel indebted.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Berkeley, seaweed expert Kathy Ann Miller is leading a team of students to digitally photograph 76,000 stunning specimens of seaweed collected from the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. Many of the red, green and brown seaweeds date back to the 1800s and most of the specimens have been preserved on paper and annotated with handwritten collection notes. The project will culminate next summer with the creation of a database featuring not only the high-resolution photographs, but also a Google map to reveal the geographic coordinates where each specimen was collected.

Berkeley, seaweed expert Kathy Ann Miller is leading a team of students to digitally photograph 76,000 stunning specimens of seaweed collected from the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. Many of the red, green and brown seaweeds date back to the 1800s and most of the specimens have been preserved on paper and annotated with handwritten collection notes. The project will culminate next summer with the creation of a database featuring not only the high-resolution photographs, but also a Google map to reveal the geographic coordinates where each specimen was collected. Miller hopes that the database will be a valuable scientific tool.
