The Commission also voted to grant $6,563 to the Monterey Bay Salmon and TroutProject to help offset the cost of damages to the rearing facility suffered during thiswinter’s severe storms. Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project is in the process ofapplying for FEMA disaster assistance to cover these and other similar costs. If theyare successful with these applications, these funds would be returned to the Fish andGame Fund.

In order to grant the above funds, a transfer in the amount of $6,563 from the GeneralContingencies within the Fish and Game Fund will be necessary.

It is therefore RECOMMENDED that your Board:

1. Approve the Fish and Game Advisory Commission’s recommendations for grantsand authorize the Auditor-Controller to disburse the funds;

2. Approve the attached AUD-74 Transfer of Appropriations and/or Fundstransferring $6,563 within the Fish and Game Budget; and

3. It is further recommended that your Board require Monterey Bay Salmon andTrout Project to refund to the Fish and Game fund those costs found to beeligible for disaster assistance under the claim being pursued by Monterey BaySalmon and Trout Project.

I. AQWW of Group: California Department of Fish and Game CalTIP Program

II. Amount of Fundkg Requested: $800.00

III. Name, Address and Phone Number of Contact Person:

John R. Robinson., 182 Compass Ct. , Boulder Creek, CA, 95006408-338-2313

IV. Description of Proposed Project

CalTIP or “Californians Turn In Poachers” encourages citizens to turn inenvironmental and fish and game violators by calling a 24 hour a day, 7 day a weektelephone hotline. Calls are immediately referred to local enforcement agencies and/orlocal wardens. The program offers anonymous rewards of up to $l,OOO.OO for tips whichlead to an axrest.

CalTIP is a nonprofit organization, sponsored but not funded by the CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game. It is supported by outside funding and private donations.CalTIP has a volunteer citizens review board .

V . Objective:

The objective of CalTIP is to substantially reduce poaching and polluting in California.

VI. Background and Hii~ of Your 0rganizatC.w:

The CalTIP program was developed in 1981 in response to growing concern by theDepartment of Fish and Game and the general public about the problem of poaching,polluting and wildlife crime in California. The Department recognized the fact that fewerthan 350 game wardens can not adequately patrol 145,000 square miles of terrain, 1100miles of coastline, 30,000 miles of rivers and 4,800 lakes. They needed the public’s help.They needed the public to be their eyes and ears. The program was set up along the samelines as most other state wildlife agency hotlines.

Since 1981, CalTIP has rewarded more than $125,000.00 . Most cases involved theillegal taking of game animals and fish.

J’Il. How wiliproject be amomplkhed 7

1. ,4 citizen witnesses a Fish and Game violation or act of polluting.

2. He/She calls l-888-DFG-CALTIP. (24 hour a day, 7 days a week)

3. A report is taken by a dispatcher.

1. The report is relayed to the local warden in the area of the state where the allegedviolation took place.

5. -4 warden investigates the report and depending on the circumstances, may either issuea warning, write a citation or make an arrest.

6. If the citizen caller’s information leads to an arrest, the caller is entitled to a cash reward.

7. The 7-member Citizen’s Review Board determines if a reward will be paid and for howmuch.

8. The CalTIP Citizen’s Review Board administers the reward not the DFG.

T,TII. Budget to irtckde the pretie use of Grant munies:

All $800.00 will go for reward payments. The money will be given to the CalTIp Citizen’sReview Board to administer the money as a reward for citizens who report Fish and Gameviolations an&or polluting activities which lead to an arrest.

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Bill Lovvorn toserve as Environmental Education Coordinator in an exciting new state-wideenvironmental education network funded in part by the California Departmentof Education.

The network will provide much needed support for environmental educatorsat all levels. Because of his past experience as a water conservation educator forthe Public Works Department of the City of Watsonville, Bill is extremely wellqualified to fulfill the responsibilities of the position. He has a strongbackground in curriculum and program development, and he is veryknowledgeable about promoting partnerships to advance the most efficient useof regional resources.

Bill was a long-time member of the’santa Cruz County Industry EducationCouncil which merged with Schools Plus over a year ago. He has continued to 4serve as an active and valuable member of the Business Education Initiativecreated out of the merger, and I have been able to observe first-hand the highlevel of commitment and professionalism he brings to this volunteer role. Billhas been instrumental in the success of our recent projects, most notably“Principal for a Day” where he not only coordinated a number of business-education exchanges but also served himself as a “guest principal” at two schoolsin the county. I am certain that Bill brings the same high standard ofperformance to all of his endeavors.

EnviroiLmentai education is recognized as a vital component in thepreparation of young people to be responsible and informed citizens of thefuture. As a past principal, he knows how to work successfully with schools toprovide the resources and information necessary for a comprehensive programin this area. I wholeheartedly applaud his efforts and encourage you to supportthis worthwhile project.

Yours sincerely,

Project Summary and Organizational Information

The Coastal Watershed Council

Formed in September 1995, the Coastal Watershed Council (CWC) is a public education 501(c)(3)nonprofit corporation. CWC advocates for the preservation and protection of coastal watershedsthrough the establishment of community-based watershed stewardship programs and works inpartnerships with schools, community organizations and local government. The CoastalWatershed Council emphasizes hands on learning- getting community members out into thewatershed to learn about water quality, riparian and wetland ecosystems and the problemsimpacting our watersheds.

Programs of CWC focus on three areas:

(1) Education and Community C&each: CWC provides information about watershed curriculumto local teachers and tries to link teachers and community groups working in the watershed. Ouroutreach efforts focus on community groups, teachers and students, and citizens. CWC providesworkshops and trainings for teachers and community members interested in learning more aboutvolunteer monitoring and watershed protection.

(2) Stew~dship Prugrams: The Stewardship Programs of CWC focus on the Clean StreamsProgram described below.

(3) Wafershed Protection CWC is a member of the Monterey Bay National Marine SanctuaryConservation Working Group and works with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary WaterQuality Protection Program. CWC also keeps abreast of state and federal watershed conservationefforts and policy reforms and works with existing conservation organizations to developeducational and outreach materials on local watersheds.

Statement of Problem Being Addressed

According to the Central Coast Water Quality Control Board approximately half of the 1,976 milesof rivers and streams within the Central Coast region (including the Monterey Bay area) areconsidered impaired or unknown for designated beneficial uses. The rapid decline in the waterquality of the region can be directly related to the lack of information that exists for our waterways.We cannot properly manage or restore waterways which we know nothing about.

Habitat assessment activities (bird, fish, plant, and macroinvertebrate monitoring) within CentralCoast area watersheds are even more spotty and infrequent. Most habitat studies occur in responseto a specific resource management question or proposed development project, and do not providelong term data collection or analysis. Long term habitat data is difficult to locate, especially on awatershed scale. Yet habitat assessment is critical for our local watersheds, as is demonstrated byproblems such as endangered steelhead and Coho salmon populations, sedimentation, invasion ofnonnative species, wetland alteration, and increasing incidents of illegal trash dumping andpollution.

- -

To be truly comprehensive, existing federal, state, and local monitoring efforts around theMonterey Bay region need to be coupled with an effective volunteer monitoring program. With thedesignation of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary in 1992, it is now critical for our communities to cometo an understanding that what we do in our watersheds has a direct influence on the health of theSanctuary. Through the Clean Stream Program, CWC hopes to create such a network of volunteergrassroots groups to conduct long term monitoring, habitat monitoring, and education in thewatersheds of the Monterey Bay region.

Project Description: The Clean Streams Program -dThe Coastal Watershed Council has recently launched a five year pro,oram entitled the CleanStreams Program which focuses on establishing volunteer watershed monitoring projects in localrivers and creeks. The Cleans Streams Program is available to any community group or schoolinterested in assessing and improving local waterways. Goals associated with the Clean StreamsProgram include:

l Establishing a baseline and documenting water quality and changes over timel Screening for potential water quality problems and sourcesl Providing data for areas where data gaps may existl Educating the local community and stream users to encourage pollution prevention and habitat

preservationl Showing public officials that local citizens care about the condition and management of their

watershed resourcesl To empower the community to become long term stewards of their local streams and creeks

through problem identification and habitat restoration.

The long term goal of the Clean Streams Program is to gather basic information on the biologicaland physical components of local watershed ecosystems and to share that information with localagencies, decision makers, and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Research andprioritization of watershed restoration projects will result from the monitoring done through theClean Streams Program. Data from the Clean Streams Program is provided to the CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game, the County of Santa Cruz, the Regional Water Quality ControlBoard, city councils and community groups.

CWC currently administers the Clean Stream Program in four watersheds: Arana Creek, SequelCreek, Corralitos Creek and the San Lorenzo River. For each of these watersheds, CWC hasdeveloped monitoring programs which collect critical baseline information about the watershedsand their waterways. Partners in these projects include the Santa Cruz County ResourceConservation District, the San Lorenzo River Institute, the Friends of Soquel Creek, the AranaGulch Watershed Alliance, the City of Santa Cruz and the Santa CIUZ County Outdoor EducationSchool. These programs currently operate with 30 volunteers. The Corralitos Creek Clean Streamsprogram involves over 4,000 school children annually through the Santa Cruz County OutdoorEducation School. These programs have been established through accomplishing the followingtasks:

1. Conducting watershed assessment and problem identification studies for each watershed

2. Identifying water quality testing locations and parameters for each watershed

3. Training volunteers through a 4week intensive training program

4. Administering the volunteer program

5. Establishing a database to record and analyze data collected

Additional tasks which need to be completed over the next year include:

1. Expand existing monitoring programs to include habitat assessment activities such asvegetation mapping and monitoring of restoration sites.

3.

Expand existing monitoring programs to include physical monitoring including stream flowand sedimentation monitoring as recommended by the California Department of Fish andGame.Expand existing monitoring programs to include California Department of Fish and Gamemacroinvertebrate surveys.

4. Provide enrichment trainings for volunteers.

To support the Clean Streams Program in these watersheds, CWC is requesting $4,481 from theSanta Cruz County Fish and Game Advisory Commission. Specifically, this request will be usedfor continued program support including developing training materials, conducting trainingworkshops, and purchasing additional monitoring equipment and supplies for each of the fourClean Stream Programs currently underway.

IV. Description of Proposed Project and Objective: This requested funding will- be used for the second year of research study of California Sea Lion and harbor seal

interaction with our dwindling salmonoid fisheries. This study will again bedeveloped and conducted by California State University’s Moss Landing MarineLaboratories, under the direct supervision of Dr. James T. Harvey, the notedprofessor of marine biology from the university. The research will be broken intofour phases: 1) a study of sea lion and harbor seal interaction with our steelheadfishery as these fish return to spawn in the native coastal rivers; 2) a study of fecalsamples to determine the food source; 3) and an offshore study of sea lion/ harborseal interaction with boat fishermen and their hooked fish and other observedinteractions with resident fish populations; 4) and a study of sea lion interactionwith fishermen and boats netting squid. We will also be conducting aerial surveysevery month throughout the year to determine the location and numbers of sealions and seasonal changes. This data will be compiled into a final report to bedistributed to the National Marine Fisheries Service, member of the U.S. Congress,marine biologists and other interested parties, as well as our funding agencies, forreview, hopefully to become the foundation study that will lead to the creation of along term population maintenance program for the California Sea Lion.

-_

This funding will help nationally-recognized marine biologists and scientists togain knowledge about the feeding habits of sea lions and harbor seals along ourcoastline, and what effects their feeding has on the decreasing populations of oursalmonoid fisheries.Also, if an imbalance of nature is being created by the ever-increasing number of sealions, in contrast to the decrease in salmonoids to the level that they are nowconsidered threatened or endangered along the California coastline.

410

V. Background and History of your organization, and or of the problem: TheFishermen’s Alliance of Monterey Bay was founded in 1995 by a group of sport andcommercial fishermen who are very concerned about the over-population ofCalifornia Sea Lions in Monterey Bay in and areas up and down the Pacific Coast ofthe United States. Our mission statement is attached. The F.A.M.B. is an on-goingorganization and our efforts continue. Since our creation we have been workingthe educate the public and our governmental representatives and agencies aboutthis disastrous situation, created by a sea lion population that grows between 7% and10% a year. Most of the natural predators that a one time kept the sea lionpopulation at a much smaller growth rate are now gone, leaving the sea lion at thetop of the food chain and creating a major problem in the balance of nature in ouroceans. And, this problem does not only exist along our coastline, for sea lions havenow expanded their area of hunting in search of food. They now travel miles upour coastal rivers and are also in the waterways of the Sacramento Delta. Theyhave become more aggressive toward humans, and have become a major threat tothe safety of anyone venturing out in the ocean where fishing activities occur.

VII. How will the project by accomplished? The details for the interaction studywere developed by Dr. Harvey of the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. The planof action and project timing are as follows:

a) November 1997 through February 1999: Studies ofsea lion/ steelhead interaction in our coastal rivers. - 860 hours

b) November 1997 through March 1999: Offshore studyof sea lion/ salmon interaction - 1302 hours

c) April 1998 through October 1998: Offshore studyof sea lion/ squid fishery interaction - 623 hours

2785 hours

This grant will help fund the hours of actual collection of data, its analysis,compilation, supplies and the creation of the final documents. It will not includefunding for housing or meals.

To complete this work in a timely manner, we have developed the attachedbudget. The grant from your association to help fund this very important study.Many local commercial fishermen fish our coastal waters and have been effected bythe sea lion problem, and therefore, we hope you will approve our request. Ofcourse, your association will receive copies of all completed data and reports, as weknow the information they will contain will benefit every organization concernedabout fish and game issues.

4

In summary, the F.A.M.B. views this study as the opportunity to truly learnthe impact of California Sea Lions on our dwindling salmonid populations. We areworking with some of the finest marine biologists in the nation, with the support of

--- internationally recognized, environmentally-conscious organizations. This studywill be presented to the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U. S. Congress. Itwill give us the strong position we need to get the federal government to act on ourconcerns, to make recommendations for the control of the ever-expandingCalifornia Sea Lion population along the entire coast of California, Oregon andWashington.

We appreciate your consideration of this request, and hope you will grantus the funds needed to help make this important study a reality.

In summary, the F.A.M.B. views this study as the opportunity to truly learn andvalidate our contention that California Sea Lions are destroying our salmonoidpopulations. We will be working with the finest marine biologists in the nation,with the support of internationally recognized, environmentally-consciousorganizations: the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Monterey Bay National MarineSanctuary. This study, as presented to the American Fisheries Society, can give usthe strong position we need to get the federal government to act on our concerns.We appreciate your consideration of this request, and hope you will grant us thefunds needed to make this important study a reality.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Fishermen’s Alliance of Monterey Bay is to inform and

educate the public and our governmental agencies about the problems that

have been created by the over-population of California Sea Lions within

Monterey Bay and along the West Coast of the United States. This

environmental imbalance has contributed to the devastation of one of our

most important natural resources, our saltwalter fishery, especially

migrating salmon and steelhead, and has also created a very hazardous‘4

situation for all saltwater boat fishermen, whose safety is now threatened

by the actions of these aggressive mammals. And, the loss of saltwater

fish to sea lions has contributed to the elimination of many jobs in the

commercial and sport fishing industries, thereby affecting the overall

economy of our coast counties and states.

Grant Request for funding fYom the Fish and Game Advisory Commissionfrom the Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks

1998 Summer Campfire Program Series on the Monterey Bay MarineSanctuary at Sunset State Beach, Manresa Uplands State Beach and NewBrighton State Beach

Background- The Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks is a non-profitorganization that supports the interpretive programs of the coastal State Parkunits in Santa Cruz County. State Park Ranger Linda Hitchcock will be thelead person on this project.

Proposal- The Santa Cruz State Park units of Sunset Beach, Manresa Beachand New Brighton Beach are located along the shore of the Monterey Baywhich is a National Marine Sanctuary. Over the past 3 years as a State ParkRanger in these units Ranger Hitchcock has discovered that very few of thepeople who visit the beach are aware of the Marine Sanctuary and the widevariety of animals that live in the Bay. Ranger Hitchcock recently attended a10 week course put on by Save Our Shores to learn more about the Sanctuaryand the issues that surround it such as kelp harvesting, vessel traffic and thefishing industry. She would like to develop a campfire program that wouldintroduce the campers who visit our parks to the animals, habitats, laws, andissues that occur in the Monterey Bay Sanctuary. Our average attendance atthese programs is about 100 people per program. She would propose doing 1program a week from May 15ti to September 15* for a total of 18 weeks. Thetotal estimated attendance would be 1,800 people.

FOSCSP is requesting $250.00 to purchase supplies needed to developthese programs. The interpretive and ranger stti would provide the labor togive the programs. The supplies needed for the program are as follows:

V. ObJectlve:Summary: To facilitate watershed educational activities, offer teacher resources,

and help promote river stewardship In 16 to 20 classes (representing over 300students) from schools up and down the watershed.

Objective Outline:l supplement exlatlng educatlonal opportunities with river-theme field studies,

art, and science projects;* contrIbute to the accumulation of baseline data available on the river to aid

oommunny’s aMMy to understand and solve problems6 lntensfty the learning experience for students by Involving them In sharing

their knowledge of the river with other studenta and their communities;- build a cumulative repository of observations, sclentiflc data, anti artistic

expression8 about the river, available for schools throughout the area; and. enhance studente’ understanding of the watersned and their place in caring fur

Itl create an upciatod version of the Picture Dictlonay on-fine and in print with

material generated by students this year.

VI. Background and Hlstary of your organization, and or ofthe problem:me San Lorenzo River Restotatin Institute has a history of five years of active

and eff ectlve work In servk0 of the goal of restoring the San Lorenzo River. Our founderBruce Van Allen has ten yearn professional and volunteer experience in riparianrestoration, snd has been a key player in the City and Army Corps of Engineers’ planningprocess since 1982. He oontinues to oversee the work of the institute today.

There fa an IncreasIng emphasis among agencies charged with environmentalprotectlon on using watersheds as a unit of measure for assessing overall environmentalhealth. The River Inefflutel work supports this emphasis by facilitating the coordinatedmanagement of OUI re$ouroee, the re$toration of damaged habitat, and the re-establishment of the populatbns of fish, birds, and wildlife that once thrived here. ThePicture Dlotionary Program Involve8 youth as an important part of this process takingplace in their own baokyard8.

WI. HOW will the proJeti be accomplished:We are requeeting tiding for a project which is already underway, but needs

furthet financial support. The program Is administrated by Jessica Denevan with thesupport of a part-time staff member Annette Reid, who is a credentialed life scienceteacher. The Rtver Irmtute relies on a large body of consistently active volunteers whowork on many aapacta of program implementation--from sstablishing our programmonltorlng protocol@ and coordinating teachers, to leading field-trips and doing inclassprojects. We also rely on student interns from UCSC and Cabrillo.

We are also partnering wllh several other organizations to accomplish th8 workwe have outlined here. With the Coastal Watershed Council we are incorporating ourstudents’ monitoring effoito into their Central Coast Salmon and Steelhead Initiative, andwith the Watershed Educators Group convened by the Monterey Bay National MarineSanctuary, we are working to establish a coordinated internet watershed lnformatbnweb 8lte for the region.

Toschero who oign up with the program receive training, program guidelines,and a password enabling them to enter their students’ data and other ClaSa work onto the

F%ture &thaty on-line. They also establish a class “Ate* on the river or atributary to oonaistently visit with their class, Teachers and program staff communicateregulatly to collaborate on pro)ecta, keep posted on developments In tne watershed, andto take adVantage of program servioes. We have a web bull&In board where they can getupdated and past meaaeges4here is also a web bulletin board with a slte for each class sostudents can oommunloate with each other.

Program setvices are on a first come tlrst serve tXtSi$, with an emphasis onproviding a well-rounded set of actMtte$ with each group of students(based on the needsof the lndivldual tenoher). We encourage some form of consistent monitorlng at eachclass’ chosen she, and the resulting data’s entry into the web site. Protocols formonitoring, and program guIdeMe and resources for teachers are being establishedthis year so that soon we will have a model program which can be used by otherwatersheds and other communities.

September 21,199~

To whom it may concern;

1 would Iike to express my appreciation for the important work beingundertaken by the San Lorenzo River Restoration Institute (Sm), as well as myplans to work collaboratively with them on one of their exciting young projects.

I am a science teacher of 12 years al San Lorenzo Valley High School inSanta Crux County and one of the originators of the award-winning River Projectin use at all of the 7 district schools. The River Project has received approximately$20,000 in grants and a California State Golden Bell award for excellent programsin 1995

.

This year as a 1997/98 recipient of the Christa McAuliffee Fellowship, Ihawe been awarded $40,000 to support my work in developing a K-14 careerpathway in Environmental Technology. This pathway, using the San LorenzoRiver watershed as its focus, will train students in the use of technologies(Geographic Information Systems mapping - or GE, Multimedia, ImageProcessing, environmentaf analysis equipment) to monitor, analyze andcommunicate data and solve problems in theit watershed. I will be collaboratingwith SLRFU in several aspects of this work.

There is a definite need for watershed-related educational opportunitiesfor local kids, and for support for teacher implementation of these projects withinthe San Jbrenzo Valley school District and beyond. As a teacher I appreciateSLRRJ’s emphasis on education as a key part of the strategy for restoration of ourriver. And one of the River Institute’s newest projects - the Picture Dictionary ofThor San Lorenzo River Watershed - dovetails with my work and will augmentand enhance the resources available to teachers.

The Picture Dictionary project is very relevant to the work I am doing thisyear, as well as to the efforts of the San Lorenzo River Caretakers (a coordinatedresource management planning group), the Coastal Watershed Council, theSalmon and Trout Education Program and the MC&e&y Bay National MarineSanctuary (MBNMS).

m/30/1998 1 5 : 3 2 4884261970 WM JAMES ASSN PAGE 86

r 427--

The Picture Dictionary shows great promise of advancing watershedmonitoring efforts and public awareness, as well as providing a valuableresource for local teachers and kids.

For these reasons I will be using the Picture Dictionary as a teaching toolin my ciasses in the upkoming year, My students will be involved in developingcontent and data for the Picture dictionary - by photographing andcommunicating our river field work. I will also be sharing information and ideaswith !XIcRI for how best to utilize the new technologies, and the data generatedby my students. We will be collaborating on how best to incorporate them intothe Picture Dictionary to make it a versatile and functional tool with a wide scopeand relevance to this community’s ability to meet its environmental goals..

In using the river in our backyard as a basis for their studies, students gaina context for what they are learning and a sense pf involvement and purpose.They ap able to touch, explore, analyze, and even influence, the life of theirwatershed. This method of learning creates motivated and empowered studentswho will become better stewards of our environment in the future.

I have seen the many positive results of the River Institute’s efforts overthe last five years, including: the River Festival in 95, SLNU’s River Forums, andthe Water Quality Data Entry Form they developed on the Internet. I haveworked with Bruce Van Allen, SLRJWS Founding Dire&x, since 1986.

I have been very impressed by their vision, the degree of expertise theybring to their work, and their strong working relationships within ourcoxnrm~nity; especially considering their volunteer staffing and a very limitedbudget,

I hope you will look favorably on the Picture Dictionary project which, inits infancy, is already being enthusiastically received by teachers at many schoolsin our county. 1 have every confidence in this organization’s ability to accomplishtheir goals for the future. I am looking forward to offering my support to theirefforts and being involved in what I am sure will be a significant and meaningfulcontribution to our schools and OUT Monterey Bay community~

Sincerely,
