After 28 Years, Alameda Creek Opens Up To Fish

1 week ago | baynature.org | Tanvi Dutta Gupta

In the summer of 1997, Jeff Miller went for a long walk along Alameda Creek. He started where the 40-mile stream meets the San Francisco Bay, sandwiched between the San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges. From there, he followed the water inland. For the first twelve miles, Miller marched along a stream hemmed into a flood control channel, and cut around downtown Fremont backyards.

San Francisco State University first announced earlier this year that it could no longer afford the Estuary and Ocean Science Center on its 53-acre Romberg Tiburon Campus.

Under the tall sweep of the redwoods, the trail disappears beneath conifer needles. It feels much farther than a mere half-hour’s hike from a parking lot. Martin Sanchez lays a palm on a grizzled trunk. I begin to ask him a question, but he raises his hand. “Wait, do you hear that?” A junco calls. A stream murmurs below. Then another sound registers: a plane, roaring far overhead. My brain, so used to a city’s noise, had ignored it. It Gets Me Out is a series profiling jobs in nature.

Baseball fans collect souvenirs like squirrels collect acorns. There are the official ones: home run balls, foul balls, baseball cards (and the quest to get them autographed), commemorative pins, bobbleheads, hat-shaped ice cream bowls. Grown men and women exchange hard-earned pay for small scoops of “game-used dirt.” There are, also, the unofficial keepsakes.

How (and When) Can You Get Your Hands On California’s Climate Bond?

2 months ago | baynature.org | Tanvi Dutta Gupta

“I think this is breaking my Teams right now,” said Evyan Borgnis Sloane, deputy executive officer for the California State Coastal Conservancy. She was starting a webinar, and some 600 people had flooded the online waiting room—an unusual crowd for a standard agency webinar on funding processes. It spoke to how thirsty people have been for information on Proposition 4’s $10 billion bond, approved by California voters in November 2024, to fund climate adaptation work across the state.
This Trump Change Could ‘Eviscerate’ the U.S. Endangered Species Act

2 months ago | baynature.org | Tanvi Dutta Gupta

Bay Area scientists and conservation advocates blasted a Trump administration proposal to remove federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) habitat protections for listed species by significantly narrowing what it means to “harm” them under the law. The administration argues that the ESA limits industrial development and energy extraction that promotes economic growth.
How Trump Is Destroying Historic Environmental Regulation—And How Marin Audubon’s Name Got (Arbitrarily) Caught Up In It - Bay Nature

Marin Audubon Society v. FAA seemed “fairly unremarkable,” says environmental lawyer Susan Jane Brown. At stake lay an issue as straightforward as environmental litigation gets: Before flying recreational aircraft over national parks, the plaintiffs said, the agencies had to review the impacts on wildlife and park visitors as dictated by federal law.
Local Heroes 2025: Avroh Shah, Young Leader

Mar 26, 2025 | baynature.org | Tanvi Dutta Gupta

An American avocet dives into the silt and emerges beak open: “I think it got something!” Avroh Shah says. Out at the Baylands Nature Preserve, the sweep of sky over these shimmering mudflats opens a view to the horizon. “Every time I come here, there’s a smile on my face,” Shah says. Now a sophomore at Palo Alto High School, Shah has explored these nearly 2,000 acres in Santa Clara County since childhood: boating at Shoreline Lake, biking along Coyote Creek, walking on the Bay Trail with friends.
A New Story for Sperm Whales

Mar 26, 2025 | baynature.org | Tanvi Dutta Gupta

The more sediment obscures the cameras, the clearer it becomes to everyone in the cramped control room: this mission at MARS isn’t going smoothly. All the operators are trying to do today is plug a cord into an outlet. But the mundane becomes complex when you’re doing it with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) 3,000 feet underwater in Monterey Canyon at the Monterey Accelerated Research System ocean observatory—more commonly shortened to MARS.
