San Francisco Bay

The San Francisco Bay was stumbled upon by Spanish soldiers in 1769. Upon the time of its discovery, the Bay and the San Francisco Estuary traversed 500 square miles consisting of open water as well as another 850 square miles of fresh and salt water marsh. There was beautiful scenery along with the existence of various species in the beginning of its discovery. Various types of species included sea otters, whales, large salmon, mussels and oysters, large flocks of geese and duck, as well as shorebirds

the San Francisco Bay would not be affected by climate change of global warming? The short answer is no. Scientists believe that in the future that the sea level of the San Francisco Bay will rise and flood several of the San Francisco Bay Area’s populated areas and landmarks such as the San Francisco and Oakland International Airport. How could we prevent or slow down the bay from taking over our landmarks and populated areas? Around 10,000 years ago the San Francisco Bay was once not a bay. The

pollution that exists in far away countries, could happen right here in the San Francisco bay- and its effects would be devastating. Recall the last time you drove across the Golden Gate Bridge; looking to the sea and seeing the whitecaps break against the rocks, and then looking at the bay and seeing the shimmering aqua colored water filled with sailboats. But now, try and imagine a very different picture, you look towards the bay and see oil slicks, floating tires, and islands of trash as the smell

Coastal Area I live less than a mile from the San Francisco Bay and Estuary (SFBay). I wrote about this bay’s environmental issues in the Unit #1 Learning Journal assignment and have decided to use this opportunity to elaborate on two specific environmental issues challenging the SFBay. To summarize this ecosystem: It’s the largest bay and estuary on the Pacific coast and has been damaged by industrial activity, starting in 1850 with the Gold Rush and quickly followed by the logging, railroad and

the city of San Francisco is an area I’ve been meaning to write about since I started this blog. Mostly because as an outdoor enthusiast I feel thrilled and somewhat obligated to provide highlights for the conservational efforts that help preserve and protect the natural world that I love. The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is one such area. Founded in 1974, by the congressman who is its namesake, this preserve spans 30,000 acres of salt ponds, marshes, and open bay. It’s notable

2. BACKGROUND The San Francisco bay was one of the best natural harbours in the world and it was also the gateway to the Pacific Ocean. (Loomis, 1958) This fact meant that its bay would become a leading trade centre. A rush of people were attracted to San Francisco because of its port, the natural beauty and the gold rush, where thousands of people were brought in by ship. This lead to a shortage in water in all areas and transportation services had to be improved to provide enough water to all places

December 1968, two bodies of young teenagers were found at San Francisco Bay. The teenagers were one female and one male between the ages 16 and 17. They were found dead outside of their car when the crime scene unit arrived on the scene they examined the vehicle as well as the vicinity. All to no avail the crime seemed to be lacking a sexual component. Investigators assumed that the young couple were victims of robbery but that was not the case. All of their possessions including the money had been

per thousand), and in this region freshwater organisms can live. Near the mouth of the bay, the salinity level can be as high as 36 ppt, which is as salty as the ocean. Since this estuary is located in a temperate zone, the average daily temperature of the water changes with the seasons. More than 350 species of fish live in the Chesapeake bay, this bay provides rich fishing opportunities for fisherman. This Bay supports more than 3,600 species of plant and animal life altogether. Now picture, how

Over the last thirty years, in the San Francisco Bay Area, below-market housing mandates have resulted in the production of only 6,836 affordable units, an average of 228 per year (Powell and Stringham, 2004).( I’m looking for this reference). Currently, there is more demand for BMR units than there are units available, leaving the diversity of new development projects inadequate. With the increased demand for units, approximately 200 new affordable rental units have been developed each year in 2013
