PBS newshour coverage of the
South Bay Salt Pond Project!
Maybe you were listening to NPR on Thursday, October 9th and heard Gwen Ifill start talking about the impacts of climate change on wildlife and how a "major habitat restoration project in San Francisco Bay is trying to address that very issue." Then Cat Wise, PBS newshour reporter, spent 8 minutes on national radio covering the story. The voices of partners John Bourgeois, Executive Project Manager for the South Bay Salt Pond project as well as John Krause, Associate Biologist with the California Department of Fish & Wildlife were heard along with others, and aside from calling our signature mammalian poster child of tidal marsh restoration the "harvest salt marsh mouse," Cat Wise did a great job with the story. As Julian Wood from Point Blue Conservation Science said in response, "well I suppose it does harvest salt in a way." If you missed it, you can listen to the story here!  We would also like to draw your attention to our new featured project, and in this case, funding partner - the Wildlife Conservation Board - recently posted on our website. If you want your organization or project featured, please pitch it to Caroline Warner.
