Description
Tunitas Creek Beach is a hidden gem to the South of Half Moon Bay that due to it’s secluded and challenging location, has historically been pretty badly polluted by visitors. Being such a long stretch of beach with a steep cliff at one end and long hike along and creek crossing at the other it makes collecting and removing trash and debris even more difficult. We need all hands on deck for our monthly clean-ups to keep this beach beautiful and its sea life safe and healthy. This is a great opportunity for groups of friends, families, co-workers, school groups, athletes, clubs to come together, have fun and really make a difference!
What to bring:
BYOB (bring your own bucket and gloves). . . we do have buckets and gloves in limited supply, but they go quickly!
Water is provided, but we do ask you bring a reusable bottle to fill-up.
We also have zero-waste snacks, Bananas / Tangerines / Pistacios, hand sanitizer and sunscreen at all events.
Change of shoes/socks is highly recommended as certain times of year the creek and lagoon on the beach may need to be crossed.
Other considerations:
Most clean-ups run from 9-11* on the 4th Sunday* of the monthand then we sort and stage the trash for pick-up at the Hwy Entrance to the South until 11:30am.
*Note: our April and September events will fall on a Saturday and will coincide with Pacific Beach Coalition’s Earth Day of Action / EcoFest and SMC’s CA Coastal Clean-Up Day
There are no age restrictions and is a GREAT event for families.
Parking and clean-up check in will be at the Highway 1 turn-out (south of Tunitas Creek Rd) on the West side of the HWY – there will be signs posted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are currently NO facilities/bathrooms at Tunitas. The nearest bathrooms are in HMB proper (9mi North) or San Gregorio State Beach (6mi South)

Shortcourse: Introduction to groundwater, watersheds, and the nuts and bolts of sustainable groundwater plans
2020-09-21 - 2020-09-23 | UC Davis-Walter A. Buehler Alumni Center, 530 Alumni Lane, Davis, CA, 95616, United States
Understanding the fundamental principles of groundwater and watersheds and how we monitor, assess, and sustainably manage these resources with climate change and variability is critical and integral to Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) and other water-related programs. Whether at the local, state, or federal level, these programs are designed for sustainable development, management, and protection of water resources in California among competing users.

As Groundwater Sustainability Agencies in California develop and implement their GSPs, professionals, decision makers, executives, agency employees, and stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and in a wide variety of private, non-profit, and government responsibilities at local, state, and federal levels, become directly or indirectly involved in the sustainable management and assessment of groundwater and surface water to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Yet, many participants find themselves lacking the multidisciplinary background and expertise to meaningfully participate in the technical and regulatory efforts related to water resources management. The amount of technical information available often seems overwhelming.

This shortcourse will review the fundamental principles of groundwater and watershed hydrology, water budgets, water quality, and water law and regulation in an intuitive, highly accessible fashion. Through real world examples, participants will learn about the most common tools for measuring, monitoring, and assessing groundwater and surface water resources.

The course will then review the key elements of a GSP. Case studies are used so participants learn about
• Development of conceptual models, water budgets, and GSP sustainability criteria;
• Designing minimum thresholds and operating targets (measureable objectives) for GSPs and how to link those to monitoring networks;
• Methods for addressing climate variability and climate change;
• Recharge as a tool to enhance groundwater supplies;
• GSA governance; and
• Available online planning resources.

The course is specifically geared towards an audience that is or will be involved in the management, assessment, and protection of groundwater and surface water resources under SGMA, but also engages with, e.g., source water assessments, urban water management plans, and integrated regional water management plans. Course attendees, who may have some experience with but no formal training in hydrology or related engineering or science fields, will benefit from the basic and intuitive, yet comprehensive approach of this course.

Coastal Cleanup Day
2020-09-19
Coastal Cleanup Day is an annual waterway and land cleanup held on the third Saturday of every September. It’s California’s largest volunteer event and brings community awareness to cleaning up our streets and protecting our marine environment.

San Mateo County Environmental Health Services coordinates the event in partnership with the California Coastal Commission, the Ocean Conservancy, and many Statewide and local partners (view here).

2019 Coastal Cleanup Day Results

5,245 volunteers participated in the event.
35,111 lbs of trash and recyclables were picked up.
106 miles of San Mateo County was canvased by volunteers looking for litter.
For more information on Statewide results, click here.

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in Coastal Cleanup Day 2019 to help protect our bay and ocean from litter pollution. The State is a much cleaner and healthier place today because of all your work.

The next event is scheduled for Saturday, September 26th, 2020. Sign up for a reminder email!

2020 CASQA Annual Conference
2020-09-14 - 2020-09-16
The 2020 CASQA Annual Conference is Going Virtual
The 2020 CASQA Annual Conference, previously scheduled to be held September 14 – 16, 2020 at the Paradise Point Resort in San Diego, California, will be migrated to a virtual platform. As we are all well aware, physical distancing restrictions will be slowly modified in California over time, but what that looks like for large gatherings, and the timeframe for such modifications, is unknown.

One of the core components of who we are as CASQA is leadership. Therefore, CASQA has opted to lead through these challenges by providing certainty in these uncertain times. Part of CASQA’s mission is to educate and this virtual platform will maximize access and opportunities for learning together in 2020. We will develop an outstanding conference experience, albeit a new one, and are choosing to use these next few months to plan ahead and migrate our typical conference components into an interactive virtual platform.

We are rapidly developing the format and will provide further details in the next few weeks. But, the conference will be interactive and include the outstanding content and program that we are known for, as well as opportunities for sponsors, exhibitors, and even virtual networking. We are excited to see just how innovative we can be and, as always, we are #CASQAtogether.

Virtual Conference Overview
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
The CASQA Annual Conference offers a unique opportunity to interact with professionals in the stormwater field. Each year the conference draws leading members of the stormwater community including local, state, and federal decision makers, stormwater program coordinators, contractors, consultants, engineers, lawyers, scientists, and planners. Join fellow stormwater practitioners and exhibitors for in-depth training and discussions addressing a wide range of challenges and opportunities facing stormwater professionals in California and beyond.

CASQA 2020: Envision the Future
“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.”
Joel A. Barker
CASQA’s Vision Statement recognizes Sustainable Stormwater Management as a vital component of California’s water resources. Stewardship of our stormwater resources must balance human and ecological needs including protecting water quality, enhancing and restoring waterways, and providing an additional source for water supply. With this in mind, we ask you to envision the future of stormwater. At the conference we will explore ways to incorporate sustainable solutions for our water quality challenges, integrate the best science and technologies to ensure future generations can enjoy our waters, provide equity by engaging in all communities, drive consensus building with multi-benefit solutions, and explore funding for the future we envision.
