Join Shark Stewards protecting endangered species for one of our cleanup and marine debris data collection days at Aquatic Park, Berkeley, meeting at the South Circle Sunday May 11.
We will also be demonstrating the water sampling and data collection techniques applied in our current study of the water quality in the Aquatic Park lagoon.
The Trump administration is trying to undermine language in the Endangered Species Act to make it easier for developers and industry. It would loosen restrictions on industrial activities like coastal development and oil exploration that might damage an endangered animal’s habitat, even if the animal itself is not directly harmed.
As a concerned citizen I am writing in strong protest for the proposed opening of federal waters to oil development, exploration off California and in our National Marine Sanctuaries. These areas of high productivity and biodiversity are highly vulnerable to ocean noise, disturbance and risk of spill associated with exploration and oil and gas extraction.
Join our Aquatic Park Stewards team testing water quality, cleaning up marine debris and helping maintain the lagoon and park.Meet our Friends of Aquatic Park partners and help collect data on this ongoing research and community science project.
President Trump signed an executive order that opens up commercial fishing in the Pacific Islands Heritage National Marine Monument, covering about 490,000 square miles of ocean southwest of Hawaii. The removal of protected status under Executive Order has been proved in court under the last Trump Administration to violate the Antiquities Act. New litigation from environmental groups is pending in response to the Executive Order.
