Discovery Lecture California Grunion
2018-04-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Drive, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Surf, Sand, and Silversides: Research and Outreach with California Grunion
By Dr. Karen Martin, Pepperdine University
The spectacular midnight runs of California Grunion are well known to patrons of Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. This endemic silverside fish, found only off California and Baja California, shares critical spawning habitat with millions of beach goers along one of the world’s most heavily populated coastlines. Spawning occurs during spring and summer, the times of heaviest human use. Although regulations offer some protection, human impacts on California Grunion include a recreational fishery with bare-handed catching, and habitat loss from shoreline armoring and beach erosion. The focus of this talk will be the adaptations and adventures of these amazing fish in the California beach sand, and the grunion’s influence on beach goers and beach management. From the ability to arrest development, to the recent expansion of their spawning runs far north of Point Conception, these surfing silversides are full of surprises. Our favorite fish will be compared with other beach-spawning fishes from around the world to show how the rewards of this behavior may outweigh the risks in many different ecosystems.
Karen Martin is a Distinguished Professor of Biology and Frank R. Seaver Chair in Natural Science at Pepperdine University. A doctorate in biology at UCLA was followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Friday Harbor Laboratories, University of Washington. She has published three scholarly books and over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on coastal ecology, amphibious fishes, and the vertebrate transition from water to land. She co-founded the Beach Ecology Coalition, a nonprofit organization to bring together beach maintenance workers, managers, ecologists, surfers, lifeguards, and resource managers to balance human recreation with wildlife conservation on sandy beaches. She co-founded the Grunion Greeters, a citizen scientist group that provides data on grunion populations throughout their habitat range, and this group has worked with aquariums, environmental groups, government agencies, and coastal cities and counties. She received the “Environmental Partnership Award” from the America Shore and Beach Preservation Association and the “Conservation Achievement Award” from the American Fisheries Society.

Clean Air Action Plan Advisory Meeting
2018-03-29 10:00 - 12:00 | Port of Long Beach Interim Administrative Offices, 4801 Airport Plaza Drive, Long Beach, CA, 90815, United States
An advisory meeting to provide updates on progress of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean
Air Action Plan (CAAP) 2017 Update is scheduled to be held March 29 in Long Beach.
Up to four CAAP stakeholder advisory meetings a year were called for as part of the
Clean Air Action Plan Update approved by the Long Beach and Los Angeles boards of
Harbor Commissioners on Nov. 2, 2017. This will be the first advisory meeting.
The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon, Thursday, March 29, in the first-floor
training room of the Port of Long Beach Interim Administrative Offices, 4801 Airport
Plaza Drive, Long Beach, 90815. The meeting is open to the public.
The CAAP 2017 Update is a comprehensive strategy for accelerating progress toward a
zero-emission future while protecting and strengthening the ports’ competitive position
in the global economy. Since 2005, port-related air pollution emissions in San Pedro
Bay have dropped 87 percent for diesel particulate matter, 56 percent for nitrogen
oxides, and 97 percent for sulfur oxides. Targets for reducing greenhouse gases
(GHGs) from port-related sources were introduced as part of the 2017 CAAP. The
document calls for the ports to reduce GHGs 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and
80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. The Clean Air Action Plan was originally
approved in 2006.
At the advisory meeting, staff of the two ports will discuss near-term priorities for CAAP
implementation, next steps for the Clean Truck Program, the status of technology
demonstrations and the timeline for feasibility assessments. Public comment will be
taken to receive input on CAAP implementation issues.
