What's New at CEMAR

January, 2012
Senior Environmental Scientist Dr. Matthew Deitch measures streamflow at Westminster Woods in Occidental, CA after the recent rains.

A video of Dr. Andrew Gunther's plenary address at the 2011 State of the Estuary conference is now available.

December, 2011
Senior Environmental Scientist Matthew Deitch served on a Discussion Panel at the Eighth Annual Berkeley River Restoration Symposium on Saturday, December 3 on the UC Berkeley campus. Dr. Deitch shared his experiences conducting collaborative technical projects with local stakeholders in California and discussed constraints placed on restoration practices with ecological objectives in human-influenced landscapes.

November, 2011
Coho salmon are returning to the Russian River. Read more about the good news and keep track of the number of coho adults returning to the Russian River watershed. CEMAR is one of six organizations working together as the Russian River Coho Water Resources Partnership to implement conservation strategies that increase water reliability for both humans and fish.

October, 2011
CEMAR GIS Analyst Nick Reseburg provided GIS support for a presentation at the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference in Vancouver B.C., where Deborah Giles presented research on killer whale behavioral response to the presence of vessels. Giles used remote sensing equipment to collect spatial data on real time orca and vessel locations, which Nick then animated to easily visualize the orca/vessel encounters. These data will be used to inform policy for control of vessels as part managing the recovery of this endangered species.

September, 2011
Articles about the State of the Bay report were published September 19th in the San Jose Mercury and the San Francisco Chronicle.

The State of the Bay 2011 was released at the State of the Estuary Conference on September 20. CEMAR's Andrew Gunther was the project leader for this report, which is available from the San Francisco Estuary Project website. Read more about CEMAR's work on Ecological Indicators.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration

CEMAR is committed to the use of scientific information for the sustainable management of ecosystems for future generations.

The term ecosystem management does not mean we can understand, measure, and control all factors that influence ecosystems. Instead, ecosystem management means that we must develop and implement policies and actions that recognize the interconnectedness of the natural world where our society's political and management boundaries are irrelevant.
