Sharks of a Different Sort

Today Donna Spilman, representing CARRQ on behalf of the group’s president, Sue Buxton, gave a brief update on the Roblar Road quarry project to the Advisory Council of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.  The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary encompasses 948 square nautical miles of water off the California coastline west of San Francisco and includes offshore marine regions of the Gulf of the Farallones and the nearshore waters of Bodega Bay, Tomales Bay, Estero de San Antonio, Estero Americano, and Bolinas Lagoon.  Today’s update let the council know CARRQ is still concerned about potential pollution to the Americano Creek and subsequently, the Estero Americano, if the County Board of Supervisors approves the Roblar Road quarry project.  You can read more about this worthy organization, perhaps including an update on a project to track white sharks reviewed at the meeting today.

Let’s hope the reporter from The Bohemian who was in the audience and who said he wants to pursue the quarry story will do it.  Let’s keep “human sharks” from preying in the creeks and wetlands around the proposed quarry site.
