A project team at the San Francisco Bay NERR is working with various stakeholders to design a road modification project in China Camp State Park. Road modification is necessary for the community to maintain road access to and through the park as sea level rise continues to threaten low-

China Camp State Park is one of the few remaining ecologically intact landscapes of the San Francisco Estuary, but the region is becoming increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise.

These data encompass the nearshore fish surveys conducted by the Kachemak Bay Reserve as part of a 2020 catalyst project that expanded research collaborations and completed proof of concept activities to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations.

Staff from the Kachemak Bay NERR expanded research collaborations and completed proof of concept activities to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations– an increasing concern after statewide seabird die-offs and
