And that is cause for concern, even if you don’t happen to be a delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Delta-- where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers converge before flowing into the Bay-- is the heart of the Bay watershed and the hub for much of the state's freshwater supply. 2 in 3 Californians-- some 23 million people-- depend on the system for at least part of their water. (If you live in the East or South Bay, chances are you are one of them.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Delta's troubles are manifold. Once a vast and ecologically abundant inland marsh, it was diked and channelized starting in the 1800s. Today, many of its islands have subsided as much as 20 feet below sea level behind aging levee systems, putting farms, homes, our water supply, and human lives at risk (think hurricane Katrina). The rivers flowing into the Delta have been dammed, and water quality suffers due to pesticides and other pollutants from Central Valley and Delta farms. Native species like the smelt are in steep decline, and invasives are taking over. And more and more people are moving into the Delta, building houses on land better suited for flood bypasses or tidal marsh restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the giant pumps. They suck in water with the force of a large river, squashing the delicate smelt against-- or pulling them right through-- screens meant to keep them out of the facilities. Further, by extracting so much fresh water, we are altering the unique chemical composition of the system and disrupting the seasonal ebb and flow of salty and fresh water-- natural rhythms that serve as vital cues for migration and spawning for the smelt and other species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once one of the Delta's most common pelagic-- or open water-- fishes, today the delta smelt is thought by many scientists to be on the brink of extinction. In an effort to help save it, The Bay Institute has filed emergency petitions with federal and state agencies seeking to change the status of the species from threatened to endangered. We are also analyzing the effects of Delta water operations and promoting actions that could be taken to help the fish, such as limiting pumping in the early spring to protect vulnerable young smelt hatched during the winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delta smelt has been described as an aquatic \"canary in the coalmine\"-- a key indicator of the condition of the Delta and upper San Francisco Bay. Its disappearance is a sounding alarm bell of a system in crisis. Let's hope this latest court ruling is enough to finally wake us up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Ann Dickinson\u003c/strong> is Communications Manager for The Bay Institute (\u003ca href=\"http://www.bay.org\">www.bay.org\u003c/a>), a nonprofit research, education, and advocacy organization dedicated to protecting and restoring San Francisco Bay and its watershed, “from the Sierra to the sea.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And that is cause for concern, even if you don’t happen to be a delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Delta-- where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers converge before flowing into the Bay-- is the heart of the Bay watershed and the hub for much of the state's freshwater supply. 2 in 3 Californians-- some 23 million people-- depend on the system for at least part of their water. (If you live in the East or South Bay, chances are you are one of them.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Delta's troubles are manifold. Once a vast and ecologically abundant inland marsh, it was diked and channelized starting in the 1800s. Today, many of its islands have subsided as much as 20 feet below sea level behind aging levee systems, putting farms, homes, our water supply, and human lives at risk (think hurricane Katrina). The rivers flowing into the Delta have been dammed, and water quality suffers due to pesticides and other pollutants from Central Valley and Delta farms. Native species like the smelt are in steep decline, and invasives are taking over. And more and more people are moving into the Delta, building houses on land better suited for flood bypasses or tidal marsh restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Further, by extracting so much fresh water, we are altering the unique chemical composition of the system and disrupting the seasonal ebb and flow of salty and fresh water-- natural rhythms that serve as vital cues for migration and spawning for the smelt and other species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once one of the Delta's most common pelagic-- or open water-- fishes, today the delta smelt is thought by many scientists to be on the brink of extinction.

Its acreage is second in size only to the wetlands in the San Francisco Bay Area. While it offers a variety of rich habitats and vegetation for hundreds of species of birds, fish and other wildlife, it's under constant threat from human activity, pollution and erosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This region is home to one of the largest populations of southern sea otters on the California coast. Still, their numbers today are but a fraction of what they were a few hundred years ago when they numbered well over 100,000 along the entire West Coast, from Alaska to Mexico. Hunters nearly wiped them out in the 18th and 19th centuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, federal law protects the otters from hunters, but they face other dangers nearly as deadly. More sea otters seem to be getting sick and researchers want to find out why.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What Is Elkhorn Slough?\n\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Elkhorn Slough is an estuary, a region where freshwater, such as from rivers, meets the saltwater of the ocean. Such coastal regions consist of deep-water tidal habitats next to tidal wetlands. The wetlands are partially enclosed by land, but have open access to the sea. Seawater enters the wetlands with the tides and occasionally gets diluted by freshwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elkhorn Slough is an extraordinary place-- one of the 25 most significant biodiversity hotspots in the world. The National Audubon Society lists the area in its Globally Important Bird Areas, and it was named a Western Shorebird Reserve by the Manomet Bird Observatory. There are two dozen threatened and endangered plant and animal species here, including the California brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), the western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), and the southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis). Elkhorn Slough provides critical habitat for over 550 marine invertebrates and over 100 fish species, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As important as it is to nature, Elkhorn Slough is surrounded by a power plant, an active fishing harbor, communities and commercial farmland. This much-studied region exhibits the delicate balance between critical wildlife habitat and human activity. Researchers have monitored the area for decades to better understand its changes and their causes, as well as to make better informed decisions about its management.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What Does a Slough Do?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The slough and other estuaries serve many vital functions. They cycle nutrients through the food web, store flood waters and ease storm surges, improve water quality by filtering out sediments and pollution, provide nurseries for fish and offer rich feeding grounds for many animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Keystone Species\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sea otters are a keystones species in Elkhorn Slough. That means they have a large influence on their environment relative to their numbers. Just like an arch will fall if you remove its keystone, take away the keystone species and that ecosystem falls apart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The giant seaweed called kelp forms large forests from the seafloor to the surface. These forests shelter and nourish many animals and other plants the same way that trees and shrubs do on land. Researchers know that when sea otters leave an area, the kelp forests suffer. Sea urchins eat kelp. Otters eat sea urchins. Take away the otters and the urchins destroy the kelp forests, removing valuable habitat for many other species and leaving behind empty \"urchin barrens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Oil Spills\n\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Otters are well insulated from the cold water. They don't have blubber-- they rely on dense fur, which they keep impeccably groomed. Sea otters are particularly vulnerable to the effects of an oil spill. If the fur becomes coated with oil, it loses its insulating qualities. Water can penetrate to the skin, causing hypothermia and, ultimately, killing the otter. Also, ingesting the oil while grooming can damage the otter's internal organs and also cause death.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other Threats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Otters face lots of dangers in the water, from boat propellers to sharks to entangling fishing gear. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because sea otters live so close to shore, they're particularly vulnerable to pollution from such things as agricultural runoff, boat yards and marinas and sewage treatment plants. For example, any chemicals, PCBs or heavy metals that make their way into the water get concentrated in the tissues of mussels and other filter feeders-- foods that sea otters eat in large quantities. These substances can harm the nervous system, lower birthrates and impair the otters' immune defenses against disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other major causes of otter deaths include heart disease, infections and parasites.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A New Danger\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The primary cause of death in 17 percent of otters examined by the California Department of Fish and Game was from a brain disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite formerly found among animals on land, including humans and cats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a cat eats a bird or rodent infected with the parasite, millions of the parasite's egg-like cysts are released in the scat, which ends up in the estuary through runoff or sewage-0- when used cat litter gets tossed into storm drains or toilets. Filter-feeding clams, oysters and other organisms ingest the cysts. When an otter eats the shellfish, the parasite infects its brain. Otter have no immune defense against this organism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many organizations, including the California Department of Fish and Game, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and others are studying this problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Get Involved\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are some very simple steps you can take to help the sea otters:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"links\">\n\u003cli>Don't flush cat litter down the toilet.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Remove cat poop from your yard and dispose of it in plastic bags in the trash.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Volunteer with an organization that helps protect and restore these vital otter habitats, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.elkhornslough.org\">www.elkhornslough.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Learn more about otters from groups such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.seaotters.org\" target=\"_blank\">Friends of the Sea Otter\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Monterey Bay Aquarium\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinemammalcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Marine Mammal Center\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.otterproject.org\" target=\"_blank\">The Otter Project\u003c/a> to find out ways that you can take action today to help protect this important California species.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Latest Visitor Photos\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Join the \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/groups/16868816@N00\">Elkhorn Slough photo group on Flickr\u003c/a> to share your photos of this amazing place.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Additional Links\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.elkhornslough.com/\">Elkhorn Slough Safari Tours\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.elkhornslough.org/\">elkhornslough.org\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tmmc.org/\">The Marine Mammal Center\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.saveseaotters.org/\">Defenders of Wildlife\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mbari.org/\">MBARI: Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mbari.org/lobo/Intro.html\">MBARI: LOBO Project\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

You probably know that the San Andreas Fault runs nearly the length of the state. But did you know that you can see the fault for yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you follow the lines of posts that mark the various fault breaks in the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve, you can find out what's happening when you feel that temblor underfoot. You may be surprised to see some of the effects of earthquakes in this otherwise tranquil Santa Cruz Mountain spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Plate Tectonics\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The earthquakes felt in California are just one small effect of a global phenomenon. Earth's crust is made up of several large, rigid, rocky slabs (called plates) that move atop the molten mantle underneath. Imagine cracked pieces of eggshell floating and moving on uncooked egg white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As new crust material wells up from ridges deep in the middle of the ocean, it pushes the plates into and away from each other. You'll find earthquakes where two plates collide or slide past one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pacific Plate (on the west side of the San Andreas fault) encompasses virtually the entire Pacific Ocean. The North American Plate (on the east side of the San Andreas fault) encompasses all of North America and Greenland. No wonder a bit of pressure builds up where the two come together.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Measuring Plate Movement\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Scientists use satellites, laser beams, and observatories on different continents to measure the movement of the plates. They reflect laser beams from the observatories off space satellite mirrors. Since they know the location of the satellite, they can calculate the distance between the observatories. By comparing measurements from year to year, scientists know how far the continents have moved. North America and Europe are moving apart less than an inch per year. The Pacific Plate is sliding northwest against the North American Plate at a rate of about two inches per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Ring of Fire\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An impressive 70 percent of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim, in a region called the \"Ring of Fire.\" An east-west band from southern Europe through the Middle East and to northern India and southern China accounts for many of the rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Earthquakes Are a Snap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Earthquakes happen in a motion sort of like snapping your fingers. When you push your fingers together to create friction and then exert a slight pressure sideways, you create a force that eventually overcomes the friction. Your fingers slip, releasing energy in the form of sound waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same goes for earthquakes. The earth's plates are pushed together like your fingers, but every now and then they slip sideways against each other. Instead of emitting snappy sound waves, the tremendous energy is released in the form of jolts on Earth's surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the finger-snapping analogy isn't perfect. When you snap, the slipping of your fingers against each other happens all at once. But in an earthquake, the motion starts at one point (hypocenter) and spreads up and down the fault line. Of course, this happens very fast, in some cases over 7,000 mph, or 10 times the speed of sound. The epicenter is the point on Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Finding the Epicenter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Seismographs measure ground movement on a graph, sort of like a heart monitor. When an earthquake occurs, its effects are felt at different locations at different times, depending on the distance of each location from the epicenter. Scientists rarely have specific evidence at the actual epicenter, but they can use seismographic data to figure out where it must have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagine an earthquake as a drop of water in a calm pond. Its effects are the ripples that radiate outwards. If an earthquake is centered in San Francisco, the data on seismographs would show that movement occurred first in San Francisco, then in San Mateo, then in Palo Alto, then in San Jose, and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Earthquake Damage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Giant gaps opening in the ground and swallowing houses or towns during an earthquake are the stuff of legend--and movies. In fact, earthquakes are caused by the pressure of plates moving against one other, not splitting apart. But the movement of the earth during a quake does cause some interesting ground failures, such as those that occurred in the Santa Cruz Mountains during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Predicting Earthquakes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Just as meteorologists can warn of impending hurricanes or tornadoes, it would be good to have some warning before a major earthquake hits. Lots of researchers are trying to figure out just how to predict the next big one. There's no such thing as \"earthquake weather.\" And phases of the moon and nervous animals show no correlation with earthquakes either. The best that seismologists can do is to calculate probabilities. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there's a 67 percent chance of a major (6.7 or larger) earthquake in Bay Area in the next 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, Berkeley lab geophysicist Valeri Korneev identified some seismic data that seem to correspond to the Loma Prieta earthquake. Searching through records of seismic activity that occurred in the two months before the October 17, 1989 quake, Korneev noticed an increase in the number of small-magnitude tremors--about eight times above normal levels. This activity was followed by a period of relative calm in the crust around the quake's epicenter. Perhaps this rise and decline of activity in the crust surrounding a fault could help scientists predict the location and date of large, potentially destructive temblors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>South Bay Wetlands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/338029816/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm1.static.flickr.com/126/338029816_a85b598923_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"8a. Salt Pond #A15 (across from weep)\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span> Centuries ago, the salt marshes and other wetlands surrounding the bay were much larger. Many were filled in to make more room for development. Levees closed off other wetlands to make salt evaporation ponds. The first salt ponds were created in the bay in 1854. By the late twentieth century only 10 percent of the bay's original wetlands remained, and many of those were in danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the state of California, the federal government, and private donors purchased from Cargill Salt 16,500 acres of salt ponds, an area about half the size of San Francisco. Over the next several decades, the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project will return most of the ponds to native wetland habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Volunteer\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are many opportunities to volunteer with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD), including hosting the nature center, leading outdoor activities, or patrolling trails.

Earth's crust is made up of several large, rigid, rocky slabs (called plates) that move atop the molten mantle underneath. Imagine cracked pieces of eggshell floating and moving on uncooked egg white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As new crust material wells up from ridges deep in the middle of the ocean, it pushes the plates into and away from each other. You'll find earthquakes where two plates collide or slide past one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pacific Plate (on the west side of the San Andreas fault) encompasses virtually the entire Pacific Ocean. The North American Plate (on the east side of the San Andreas fault) encompasses all of North America and Greenland. No wonder a bit of pressure builds up where the two come together.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Measuring Plate Movement\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Scientists use satellites, laser beams, and observatories on different continents to measure the movement of the plates. They reflect laser beams from the observatories off space satellite mirrors. Since they know the location of the satellite, they can calculate the distance between the observatories. By comparing measurements from year to year, scientists know how far the continents have moved. North America and Europe are moving apart less than an inch per year. The Pacific Plate is sliding northwest against the North American Plate at a rate of about two inches per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Ring of Fire\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An impressive 70 percent of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim, in a region called the \"Ring of Fire.\" An east-west band from southern Europe through the Middle East and to northern India and southern China accounts for many of the rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Earthquakes Are a Snap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Earthquakes happen in a motion sort of like snapping your fingers. When you push your fingers together to create friction and then exert a slight pressure sideways, you create a force that eventually overcomes the friction. Your fingers slip, releasing energy in the form of sound waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same goes for earthquakes. The earth's plates are pushed together like your fingers, but every now and then they slip sideways against each other. Instead of emitting snappy sound waves, the tremendous energy is released in the form of jolts on Earth's surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the finger-snapping analogy isn't perfect. When you snap, the slipping of your fingers against each other happens all at once. But in an earthquake, the motion starts at one point (hypocenter) and spreads up and down the fault line. Of course, this happens very fast, in some cases over 7,000 mph, or 10 times the speed of sound. The epicenter is the point on Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Finding the Epicenter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Seismographs measure ground movement on a graph, sort of like a heart monitor. When an earthquake occurs, its effects are felt at different locations at different times, depending on the distance of each location from the epicenter. Scientists rarely have specific evidence at the actual epicenter, but they can use seismographic data to figure out where it must have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagine an earthquake as a drop of water in a calm pond. Its effects are the ripples that radiate outwards. If an earthquake is centered in San Francisco, the data on seismographs would show that movement occurred first in San Francisco, then in San Mateo, then in Palo Alto, then in San Jose, and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Earthquake Damage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Giant gaps opening in the ground and swallowing houses or towns during an earthquake are the stuff of legend--and movies. In fact, earthquakes are caused by the pressure of plates moving against one other, not splitting apart. But the movement of the earth during a quake does cause some interesting ground failures, such as those that occurred in the Santa Cruz Mountains during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Predicting Earthquakes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Just as meteorologists can warn of impending hurricanes or tornadoes, it would be good to have some warning before a major earthquake hits. Lots of researchers are trying to figure out just how to predict the next big one. There's no such thing as \"earthquake weather.\" And phases of the moon and nervous animals show no correlation with earthquakes either. The best that seismologists can do is to calculate probabilities. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there's a 67 percent chance of a major (6.7 or larger) earthquake in Bay Area in the next 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, Berkeley lab geophysicist Valeri Korneev identified some seismic data that seem to correspond to the Loma Prieta earthquake. Searching through records of seismic activity that occurred in the two months before the October 17, 1989 quake, Korneev noticed an increase in the number of small-magnitude tremors--about eight times above normal levels. This activity was followed by a period of relative calm in the crust around the quake's epicenter. Perhaps this rise and decline of activity in the crust surrounding a fault could help scientists predict the location and date of large, potentially destructive temblors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>South Bay Wetlands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/338029816/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm1.static.flickr.com/126/338029816_a85b598923_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"8a. Salt Pond #A15 (across from weep)\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span> Centuries ago, the salt marshes and other wetlands surrounding the bay were much larger. Many were filled in to make more room for development. Levees closed off other wetlands to make salt evaporation ponds. The first salt ponds were created in the bay in 1854. By the late twentieth century only 10 percent of the bay's original wetlands remained, and many of those were in danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the state of California, the federal government, and private donors purchased from Cargill Salt 16,500 acres of salt ponds, an area about half the size of San Francisco. Over the next several decades, the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project will return most of the ponds to native wetland habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Volunteer\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are many opportunities to volunteer with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD), including hosting the nature center, leading outdoor activities, or patrolling trails. They provide training.
