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. Researchers think they hitchhiked here in boxes of live fishing bait shipped from the East Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11628298\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11628298\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-800x451.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-800x451.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-1020x575.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-1180x665.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-960x541.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS27839_Gravid-Crab-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A female European green crab gravid with eggs.

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. It turns outs the adults cannibalize baby green crabs, keeping the population in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"jYl1WBVonvGO08ORcrZn52Hj5RxIPFRN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we did was undertake a management method, to find it failed horribly,” Grosholz said. “So now we have a strong recommendation for future efforts to control species like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grosholz's findings help support an environmental theory known as overcompensation. The idea posits that controlling an invasive species can backfire unless it's possible to remove every individual at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team now leaves a number of adult crabs in the lagoon so the population can, in part, manage itself.
