I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>As far as crabs go, the European green crab might not look like much. They're small -- only about 4 inches wide -- and lack the giant claws of fiddler crabs or spindly limbs of king crabs. But don’t be fooled. Green crabs are voracious predators that rank among the world’s \u003ca href=\"http://rewilding.org/rewildit/images/IUCN-GISP.pdf\">worst invasive species\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists estimate green crabs cost the fishing industry close to $19 million annually \u003ca href=\"https://yosemite.epa.gov/ee/epa/eerm.nsf/vwAN/EE-0513-01.pdf/%24file/EE-0513-01.pdf\">on the East Coast alone\u003c/a>.

The team has been removing thousands of European green crabs from a small inlet north of San Francisco called Seadrift Lagoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sleepy Marin County vacation spot holds the highest concentration of the invasive species on the West Coast. When the Green Crab Project launched in 2009, the crabs' population in Seadrift approached 90,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/11/InvasiveCrabsArcuni.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27838_Green-Crab-1-uncropped-1920x1082.jpg\" Title=\"Ecologists Strike Back Against Invasive Green Crabs\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People around here tell stories about how they would walk into the lagoon or start swimming in the lagoon, and the crabs would be crawling over their feet and legs,” said Kate Bimrose, who coordinates the project for the \u003ca href=\"http://farallones.org/\">Greater Farallones Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bimrose and her colleagues make weekly trips to Seadrift each summer, hauling out hundreds of crabs a day from traps off single-seat kayaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bimrose says green crabs pose a serious threat to commercial fisheries in the region because they decimate populations of native clams, mussels and other crabs. The ripple effects threaten the entire coastal food web, from Dungeness crab to large fish and shorebirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ecological and economic fallout has yet to reach the levels observed on the East Coast. But scientists like Ted Grosholz, whose lab at UC Davis is a major contributor to the Green Crab Project, believes it may only be a matter of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They seem to be able to make their way into new places and then adapt to new conditions,” Grosholz said. “So there is the very real concern that the number of green crabs could increase dramatically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green crabs were first observed on the West Coast in San Francisco Bay in 1989.

And because Seadrift exchanges water with the adjacent Bolinas Lagoon -- which connects to a larger system of currents -- the crabs here have potential to fuel a much larger population boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grosholz says the removal efforts in Seadrift have been a proving ground for how to best control invasive species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, after the team had removed most of the larger adult crabs from the lagoon, they saw the population skyrocket to over 300,000.

She opened doors and windows, hoping he’d escape. By then, the fire was “raining down on us,” Mollard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they sped away, she saw their goats, Lucy and Ethel.

The smell of smoke had been thick in the air all evening. Around 11 o’clock, Hendel went to a small deck on the roof of his house. He watched the sky glow orange, and then he saw the flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just stood there and watched as the flames got bigger and bigger,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then he ran. He and his daughter managed to get Tessa, one of their two Great Pyrenees herding dogs, into the car, but the other one, Odin, wouldn’t leave the goats. The Hendels have eight pet goats that they rescued from slaughter as newborns. His daughter bottle-fed them all. They were part of the family, and it was Odin’s job to watch over and protect them from predators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Odin is sitting there and he’s looking at me and he’s not going anywhere,” Hendel said. “So I said, ‘OK, take care of them.’ Then we got the hell out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/image31-8f82cf86d4515949ba78a675845ff4fe6bd9bcdd-800x599.jpe\" alt=\"Lucy and Ethel stand next to the charred ruins of Josh Weil and Claire Mollard's home in Santa Rosa, Calif.

The house was gone, the trucks were gone, everything was ash and gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except for the goats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All eight of them had survived.

That’s what saved them, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of his goats, Hendel said, “They are magical beings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After another few days of anxious waiting, the entire herd and the dogs, Odin and Tessa, were taken to safety. They are now being cared for at a temporary farm-animal shelter at the Sonoma County fairgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Weil was finally able to get back to his home late Tuesday afternoon. When he approached the long drive leading up to his house, he was hopeful. The mailbox was still standing, with a letter his wife had put in the day the fire struck perfectly intact. The house itself was up around a bend. When he made the turn, there was nothing left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624209\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/image21-82d47994f312ccd99a05b35b1415e998cffbac4b-800x600.jpe\" alt=\"Claire Mollard managed to get her 15-year-old daughter, Sophie, and the family's two dogs out before wildfire consumed their home in Santa Rosa.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624209\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Claire Mollard managed to get her 15-year-old daughter, Sophie, and the family’s two dogs out before wildfire consumed their home in Santa Rosa. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Josh Weil)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was a gut punch,” Weil said. “Everything was just ash and total destruction.

And the landscape around the house as far as you could see was just gone. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he shuffled through some things — watching objects disintegrate into ash as he poked at them — he heard the noise. It was unmistakable: a bleat that could only come from a goat. There, standing in the drive were Lucy and Ethel, singed and hungry and fine. Somebody, probably the firefighters, had even left them a bowl of water. He has no real idea how they survived, only a theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I can think is the pasture was just low grass and so the fire couldn’t sustain itself there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was saying, the goats are here, the goats are here!” Mollard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was one little wonder amid the loss.

They could see the flames just 100 yards away. Mollard made one last dash into the house to find their cat, but it was too dark and smoky. The power was out.

The smell of smoke had been thick in the air all evening. Around 11 o’clock, Hendel went to a small deck on the roof of his house.

He and his daughter managed to get Tessa, one of their two Great Pyrenees herding dogs, into the car, but the other one, Odin, wouldn’t leave the goats. The Hendels have eight pet goats that they rescued from slaughter as newborns. His daughter bottle-fed them all. They were part of the family, and it was Odin’s job to watch over and protect them from predators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Odin is sitting there and he’s looking at me and he’s not going anywhere,” Hendel said. “So I said, ‘OK, take care of them.’ Then we got the hell out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/image31-8f82cf86d4515949ba78a675845ff4fe6bd9bcdd-800x599.jpe\" alt=\"Lucy and Ethel stand next to the charred ruins of Josh Weil and Claire Mollard's home in Santa Rosa, Calif.

It was dangerous — the main roads were blocked and fires were still burning. But they were desperate to check on Odin and the goats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We expected either that the entire property would be decimated and Odin and the goats would be dead or that the fire would have missed us, and the house, the land and the animals would be OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they discovered was both the worst and the best of outcomes. The house was gone, the trucks were gone, everything was ash and gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except for the goats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All eight of them had survived. Odin did, too, limping, with singed fur and melted whiskers. But his tail still wagged.

That’s what saved them, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of his goats, Hendel said, “They are magical beings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After another few days of anxious waiting, the entire herd and the dogs, Odin and Tessa, were taken to safety. They are now being cared for at a temporary farm-animal shelter at the Sonoma County fairgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Weil was finally able to get back to his home late Tuesday afternoon. When he approached the long drive leading up to his house, he was hopeful. The mailbox was still standing, with a letter his wife had put in the day the fire struck perfectly intact. The house itself was up around a bend. When he made the turn, there was nothing left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624209\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/image21-82d47994f312ccd99a05b35b1415e998cffbac4b-800x600.jpe\" alt=\"Claire Mollard managed to get her 15-year-old daughter, Sophie, and the family's two dogs out before wildfire consumed their home in Santa Rosa.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624209\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Claire Mollard managed to get her 15-year-old daughter, Sophie, and the family’s two dogs out before wildfire consumed their home in Santa Rosa. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Josh Weil)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was a gut punch,” Weil said. “Everything was just ash and total destruction.

And the landscape around the house as far as you could see was just gone. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he shuffled through some things — watching objects disintegrate into ash as he poked at them — he heard the noise. It was unmistakable: a bleat that could only come from a goat. There, standing in the drive were Lucy and Ethel, singed and hungry and fine. Somebody, probably the firefighters, had even left them a bowl of water. He has no real idea how they survived, only a theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I can think is the pasture was just low grass and so the fire couldn’t sustain itself there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was saying, the goats are here, the goats are here!” Mollard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was one little wonder amid the loss.
