Coastal Currents

Stanford's Dr. Ken Caldeira discusses our options if/when Earth is faced with a climate emergency.

After years of process, the Marine Protected Areas are finally in effect. Ocean Conservancy's Jen Savage comments.

Guest host Jennifer Savage and NEC's Dan Ehresman discuss coastal cleanup efforts, Underwater Parks day, King Tides, and when, if ever, it's appropriate to use social media for environmental purposes.

So these ultra-high tides we're seeing this week are a glimpse into sea-level rise, which looks like a total pain in the ass financially and environmentally.

Camel Rock/Houda Point: CCC, Surfrider Humboldt, & Trinidad Coastal Land Trust were about to mortar a new patio during their improvement jamboree. Mysteriously, the requisite rocks vanished, & with them the dreams of a boffo place for a sunset picnic.

The rocks really would've tied the patio together, & TCLT just wants them back, please.

Pete & Mike wax nostalgic on Pete's tenure with Coastal Currents/Humboldt Baykeeper while HR changes the alarm codes & burns his security badge.

Have times changed in the seven years since Baykeeper launched? Do people finally care about dioxin or know what "MLPA" stands for? What will Pete do for the Waterkeeper alliance?

BONUS: find out who Pete (a redhead) thinks is the most attractive (non-Pete) redhead.
