Once a year, the San Diego River Park Foundation gets special permits to take kayaks out into the water at the Estuary (where the river meets the ocean). We've carefully coincided this event with the King Tides and to avoid the nesting season for specific endangered species, such as the Light-footed Ridgeway Rail.

Please join us to hear from special guest speaker Dr. Matthew Pendergraft from Scripps, co-author of a study entitled, "Bacterial and Chemical Evidence of Coastal Water Pollution from the Tijuana River in Sea Spray Aerosol". Photo of polluted waters off Imperial Beach from WILDCOAST. Please register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpcu-prTktG9PoIxwNLFxJroh24Q5EKz-4?fbclid=IwAR0Xw5B6IWMPosKagSPiF45GSaqKjg3ZZG2T_Hr304tDiZI_aoygp4Scamg About ½ of the world’s population lives near the coast, and coastal water pollution (CWP) is widespread. Although this study was conducted at Imperial Beach in Southern California, the findings have implications for other coastal areas worldwide that have been affected by human activity. Swimming or playing in ocean water after it rains is not the only way to be exposed to sewage pollution, according to new research led by Scripps Oceanography. We will hear from Scripps PhD graduate Matthew Pendergraft about the findings of a recent study led by him and Scripps atmospheric chemist Kim Prather. He will discuss whether sewage-polluted coastal waters transfer to the atmosphere in sea spray aerosol and if this can pose a potential threat to people far beyond just beachgoers, surfers, and swimmers. There will be time for questions from the audience. There is no charge for this online event, but you must register in advance Once you do, you will receive a confirmation email with the link to join the meeting. This will also enable us to inform you if there are any last minute announcements, instructions or other information. Thank you. North County Climate Change Alliance on Facebook / Instagram

Chimps are notorious for hostility toward chimps from another group. Is that part of the human makeup as well? A new study of bonobos, our other closest relative, offers a more cooperative vision.

More than 6,000 so-called subreddits are participating in a 48-hour boycott aimed at pressuring the company to reverse its new fees for accessing the company's internal data.

For year 27 of the Free Classic Series, Coronado audiences will be transported to 1920s England to meet the outrageous and opinionated Bliss family in Noël Coward’s Hay Fever. In this biting script, a quiet vacation goes awry when David and Judith Bliss’s children Simon and Sorel crash their holiday, bringing along unassuming guests. A torrid game of charades, a whirlwind engagement, and dramatic fainting all occur in a single act! The characters’ emotive personalities and curt bickering play against the atmosphere of English high society in this layered comedy. The self-absorbed Bliss family fails to recognize their own petulant behaviors as the weekend unravels. With a committed ensemble, this sharp-witted and over-the-top comedy will surely be a riot as Hay Fever continues to delight audiences with its astute observations on family relationships and rivalries.

Please join the North County Climate Change Alliance to hear from Dr. Scott Kelley, co-leader for SD 350’s Raise the Alarm Team. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtdeqsrDMjH9MPwVmphcR3OHbC8kLN0fmA?fbclid=IwAR3Cy67eo_aPxcGSNtsAZCOjhOb8Nw-XWH2O-jho28xBUVzVfiOvTlpcRkY He will tell us the story about how Sempra used its subsidiary SDG&E to force San Diegans to pay for its fracked methane fossil fuel empire. Methane is 86 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, and leaks from the Permian Basin alone are the equivalent of burning 50 train cars full of coal every single day. Sempra is trying to hook us onto this gas for the next 30 years and is accelerating LNG transport around the world. Not only will this massively exacerbate global warming, but it is also ruining the health of people in frontline communities and will keep us from transitioning to a clean energy future.
