SUMMARY:September Members' Book Club Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register		\n \nDiscussion: Online – September 25th 5:30-6:30pm \nSeptember Book selection: Stronghold: One Man’s Quest to Save the World’s Wild Salmon by Tucker Malarkey \nStronghold is Tucker Malarkey’s eye-opening account of an unlikely visionary and his crusade to protect the world’s last bastion of wild salmon. An obsessive fly fisherman\, Guido Rahr noticed when the salmon runs of the Pacific Northwest began to decline–and was one of the few who understood why. As dams\, industry\, and climate change degraded the homes of these magnificent fish\, Rahr saw that the salmon of the Pacific Rim were destined to go the way of their Atlantic brethren: near extinction. An improbable and inspiring story\, Stronghold takes us on a wild adventure\, from Oregon to Alaska to one of the world’s last remaining salmon strongholds in the Russian Far East\, a landscape of ecological richness and diversity that is rapidly being developed for oil\, gas\, minerals\, and timber. Tucker Malarkey\, who joins Rahr in the Russian wilderness\, has written a clarion call for a sustainable future\, a remarkable work of natural history\, and a riveting account of a species whose future is closely linked to our own.

SUMMARY:Last Friday Lecture Series - Understanding California's White Sharks with Dr. Chris Lowe
DESCRIPTION:This event will be in-person at the Trailhead Visitor Center and streamed live online. \n		\n			Register		\n \nUnderstanding California’s White Sharks: Research\, Safety\, and Coexistence\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the white shark population increasing due to successful conservation and management\, increased shark activity along the CA coastline has raised public safety concerns. The CSULB Shark Lab has been studying white sharks for almost 20 years and in 2018 formed the CA Shark Beach Safety Program with funding from the California State legislature. New research has focused on population dynamics and behavior\, particularly for juveniles that use coastal beach habitats as nursery. Research findings are dispersed to stakeholders (e.g.\, lifeguards\, Harbor patrol\, general public\, K-12 schools) via large education and outreach program. Come learn about what we’ve discovered and how we’re learning how to live with white sharks off California. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n \nDr. Chris Lowe \nAs Director of the Shark Lab at California State University\, Dr. Lowe has been studying sharks\, rays and bony fishes for over 30 years\, focusing on their behavior\, physiology and ecology. For the last 15 years\, Dr. Lowe and his students have been studying juvenile white sharks off the coast of southern California. Using a wide array of technology\, they have found that white sharks use southern California beaches seasonally as nursery habitat for their young. This brings juvenile white sharks in close proximity to beach goers. Dr. Lowe and his student use a wide array of technologies and educators to help lifeguards and the public understand the mysterious lives of sharks and just how much of a threat they may actually pose.
