As mask mandate lifted, Omicron continues to surge By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Triplicate
At the state of California begins lifting COVID-19 mandates, the Omicron variant was still raging in Del Norte County. On Monday, the county reported 81 new COVID cases, bringing the case count over the last two weeks to 481. Del Norte County Public Health reported 276 active COVID cases with nine people in the hospital. Del Norte County did report one new death in the last week, bringing
the death count since the pandemic began to 43. There was also a new outbreak reported at Pelican Bay State Prison, with 13 new cases in the last week. Cases at the prison are not included in the community case count. Since the beginning of the pandemic almost exactly two years ago, Del Norte County has reported 5,727 COVID cases. Just more than half have been among men with 76% of cases in people under age 50. After weeks of high case
counts and low hospitalizations, the number of people in the hospital has ticked up in the last week. A week ago, four people were hospitalized, but that number has ranged between eight and 11 for the last six days. As of Monday, Del Norte County reported 54.9% of residents 12 and over are fully vaccinated with another 7.1% partially vaccinated. Del Norte County Public Health did announce due to the Presidents Day holiday, the COVID-19 vaccine site behind
Sutter Coast Hospital will be closed from Friday through Monday. The clinic will re-open at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The clinic offers vaccines and booster shots. At Del Norte County schools, masks are still required, but the district is making some changes due to changing recommendations from the California Department of Public Health. Superintendent Jeff Harris explained the changes in a message to parents this week. “In response to changing COVID guidelines, we hosted a webinar last Wednesday that
provided an update on the recent changes made by CDPH,” Harris said. “During that webinar, we let families know we have transitioned to a group-tracing approach for students exposed to COVID-19 in a K-12 setting. As a result, students who are exposed to a positive case may still attend school as long as they are asymptomatic. CDPH recommends but does not require that the student test within 3-5 days after their last exposure, regardless of vaccination status. This means that whole class quarantines have basically ended.”

Youth Art Contest rallies Californians to unite to fight invasive species The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is pleased to announce the ninth annual California Invasive Species Youth Art Contest. This year’s theme, “Unite to Fight Invasive Species,” reflects the need for all Californians to work together to prevent the spread and impacts of invasive species. “The Youth Art Contest is
an opportunity for students to combine science with artistic expression while learning about an important environmental issue,” said Elizabeth Brusati, an environmental scientist with CDFW’s Invasive Species Program. “We want young people to look for ways to stop the spread of invasive species. Helpful actions could include choosing
Livermore native Sue Crow Griffin’s image of affection displayed by a mother bobcat to her offspring along an Alameda County walking path has earned the 2021 grand prize in the 10th annual California Wildlife Photo of the Year contest. In a virtual celebration today, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director Charlton H. Bonham named Griffin’s photograph the best among all entries in the yearlong contest. The contest is presented by California Watchable Wildlife and CDFW’s Outdoor California magazine and sponsored by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and Out of This World Optics. “When you see this image, your jaw will drop,” said Bonham. “What’s special about this particular image is the way it shows emotion. There’s caring here, love and a sense of tenderness. And on top of that, it’s just
a super cool photograph.” California Senator Steve Glazer (D–Contra Costa) joined Bonham to present Griffin with a Legislative Resolution for her accomplishment. Traditionally the winner’s legislative representative invited him/her to the floor of the California Legislature to announce and honor the winning photo. For the last two years, the presentation has been virtual as a result of pandemic restrictions. Griffin recalled how she captured the shot. She said the adult bobcat had just called the youngster to her to offer a fresh caught ground squirrel. The pair greeted each other on the limb of a felled tree before the youngster accepted the squirrel and disappeared into the wooded background. “I know we’re not supposed to put human emotions on the cats, but it was just so tender,” she

which will be June 4-12 this year. There are three age divisions for youths in grades 2-4, 5-8 and 9-12. All types of media are welcome and encouraged, including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, animations, comic strips, videos and public service announcements.

Sand County Foundation and national sponsor American Farmland Trust present the Leopold Conservation Award to private landowners in 23 states for extraordinary achievement in voluntary conservation. In California the $10,000 award is presented with state partners: Sustainable Conservation and California Farm Bureau Federation. Given in honor of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, the award recognizes landowners who inspire others with their dedication to land, water and wildlife habitat management on private, working land. In his influential 1949 book, “A Sand County Almanac,” Leopold called for an ethical relationship between people and the land they own and manage. Nominations may be submitted on behalf of a landowner, or landowners may nominate themselves. Applications are reviewed by an independent panel of agricultural and conservation leaders. The application can be found at www.sandcountyfoundation.org/ ApplyLCA. The application deadline date is July 18, 2022. Applications can be emailed to award@sandcountyfoundation.org. If mailed, applications must be postmarked by July 18, and sent to: Leopold Conservation Award c/o Sustainable Conservation 98 Battery Street, Suite 302 San Francisco, CA 94111 “As we grapple with another year of potential drought, our collective conservation ethic must guide how we build a climate-resilient future for our state,” said Ashley Boren, Chief Executive Officer of Sustainable Conservation, which has co-sponsored the award since its California launch more than a decade ago. “California landowners are on the front lines of environmental stewardship. The Leopold Conservation Award celebrates these inspiring individuals and families, and we hope farmers, ranchers and other private landowners come forward this year to be recognized.” “The Leopold Conservation Award provides outstanding recognition of farmers and ranchers who take steps every day to realize significant gains in managing their farms in a sustainable and profitable manner,” said Jamie Johansson, California Farm Bureau Federation President.

OBITUARIES
From page A1
Edward Culver Hughes III Ed was beloved by his wife Janiece Hughes and 6 children Ronnie, Christy, Jamie, Scott, Apollo, Tonya, and Cyndole as well as his 15 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Ed was a tough man with a tender heart. Ed never hesitated to help those in need especially his family. Ed will always be known for loving those he did not have to. Ed loved fishing and working on anything that had a motor. A lifelong fisherman, you
said. “The mom had brought back the food; the kitten had eaten and then they were sharing some time on this log and then they butted heads—it was just precious.” Griffin began walking as a way to improve her health and eventually started taking pictures of what she would see on her journeys. Griffin discovered all sorts of wildlife on her daily outings, ranging from bald and golden eagles to coyotes, foxes and a wide variety of birds. But the bobcats are what did it, she said, noting that she didn’t have any experience with photography prior to her walks. Director Bonham selected the grand prize winner from 17 contest finalists. The contest had a record 741 entries this year. Contest sponsors this week presented the finalists’ entries across social media, offering viewers a chance to see all the top images and build anticipation for today’s announcement. Additionally, the images are currently being showcased in an indoor digital display in the lobby of the new California Natural Resources Building in downtown Sacramento. In addition to Griffin’s bobcat photograph, the finalists on display include: Long-tailed Weasel races across field (Douglas Croft) Pacific Forktail Damselfly (Andrew Lincoln) Black-tailed Jackrabbit at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge (Larry Whiting) Urbane Digger Bee pollinating in white cosmos (Andrew Lincoln) Bald-faced Hornet verses California Yellowjacket (Robin Agarwal) Osprey catches morning meal (Douglas Phillips) Bald Eagles in the Angeles National Forest (Andrew Lee) Yellowed-bellied Marmots in Yosemite National Park (Vishal Subramanyan) Coyote leaping for food in Yosemite
could always find Ed the happiest on the ocean or in an area where he could hone this passion. Ed was born is Crescent city California on the 21st of March, 1958 and joined his daughter Jamie on his eternal fishing trip on the 9th of February, 2022. Ed will be missed by both those who reside in Crescent City, CA and Congress, AZ. Most of all Ed will be missed by his family as there was none like him and never could be.
McGuire’s climate Emergency Declaration moves forward The dire impacts of the climate crisis are taking hold across the planet and right here at home in the Golden State. It’s clear that climate change has made California, and the American West, significantly warmer and drier over the past 30 years and scientific predictions for the next half century are downright startling. That’s why Senator McGuire is moving forward a critical resolution – which was a policy proposal brought forward by student leaders from Sonoma Academy – that would declare a climate crisis emergency here in the State of California. Senator McGuire’s SCR 53 passed overwhelmingly and with bipartisan support in the State Senate, 30-4. “Californians have historically led this nation on emission reduction efforts and we must redouble our focus to combat this growing crisis,” Senator Mike McGuire said. “This crisis is evolving faster than anticipated and we couldn’t be more inspired by these dedicated student leaders for demanding immediate action. We agree with them: The time to act is now.”
Last year, Senator McGuire met with high school students from Sonoma Academy who were deeply concerned about the worsening climate crisis conditions and how it will impact their future. Their passion was inspiring. “Declaring a climate emergency is a big step in the right direction and will pave the way for new and bold climate legislation,” said Izzy Weaver, who is a junior at Sonoma Academy. “California has also been a very influential leader in climate change so we hope this can be a call to action for states everywhere because the time is running out to save the planet and create a livable future for generations to come.” “This type of resolution, declaring an official climate emergency, has been passed in lots of communities, counties, and regions,” said Talulah Juniper, also a junior at Sonoma Academy. “It makes it easier to take real action. When we started working on this, no resolutions had been passed at the state level. California has been a leader and role model to other states on these issues, so it just makes sense that we would eventually pass one.”

“The awarded families are great examples of the generational appreciation farmers and ranchers have for their land. The stewardship they employ at their farms and ranches is reflective of California farmers’ and ranchers’ commitment to the environment.” “As a national sponsor for Sand County Foundation’s Leopold Conservation Award, American Farmland Trust celebrates the hard work and dedication of farmers, ranchers and forestland owners,” said John Piotti, AFT President and CEO. “At AFT we believe that conservation in agriculture requires a focus on the land, the practices and the people and this award recognizes the integral role of all three.” “Recipients of this award are real life examples of conservation-minded agriculture,” said Kevin McAleese, Sand

Although older adults are at most risk, COVID-19 can also make children and teens sick. Once the vaccine is available for children, it will be the best way to protect them.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren GRANDMOTHER ISN’T SHY ABOUT PLAYING FAVORITES
DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of three wonderful children. My oldest boy (who is from a previous marriage) is 11. My two younger ones are 2 (a girl) and 7 months old (a boy). My mother-in-law, “Nancy,” is the grandma of my two younger ones. She is good to all of my children, except for one thing. Nancy had two daughters and a son, and she has mentioned that she preferred her girls over her boy. Other family members have also mentioned how she plays favorites. She had a favorite child and grandchild before my kids were born. I believe my daughter has now become Nancy’s new favorite. She has said it repeatedly, and other people have referred to my daughter as “the new favorite.” Nancy used to bring little toys and clothes over for her all the time, but stopped when I told her she needs to bring gifts for all my children if she’s going to continue to bring things. She still buys things for my daughter, but leaves them at her house so when I take the children over there, it’s filled with little girl clothes and toys. Nancy has been in my life for more than two years now, so that’s two years of birthdays and holidays with her. I am noticing that she buys my daughter double what she gets for my other children -- double the items and twice the money she’s spending. I have considered buying extra things for the boys to make up the difference, but I don’t want my daughter to think I am favoring them. Luckily, they aren’t old enough yet to really notice this. Is this something I should address or let go? I have had to address things in the past with Nancy when it comes to the children, and she doesn’t
take it well. I’m worried that if I do, it will cause problems. -- EQUAL LOVING MOM DEAR MOM: Your thinking is correct. It WILL eventually cause problems -- unless another child is born who becomes her next “favorite.” Talk with your husband about this. If you do, perhaps he will talk to his mother and get her to change her ways. If, however, it doesn’t help, you will have to lay down the law. Repeat what you have already told her and make clear that the children will not be visiting her if they are not treated equally. DEAR ABBY: My niece met a guy. Two months later they got engaged. A week after that, she married him. Now, a year later, she wants to have a wedding. Is this proper? Does she just want a big show and gifts? People are laughing about it, and it is not what I was raised to do. Am I wrong in thinking this is an embarrassment to our family? -- PROPER LADY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR PROPER LADY: This is not an embarrassment to your family. It is an embarrassment to your niece. The ship has sailed as far as her fantasy about a “big show and gifts” is concerned. If she wishes to throw a party to celebrate her first anniversary (once the rules about gatherings and social distancing have eased), she should go ahead and do it. But I doubt she will receive anything in addition to warm congratulations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

This time last year, I was doing a legal “water drop” on public land close to our border with Mexico, visiting as an unofficial and self-funded reporter to learn more about this local effort. What I found is that volunteers here are the unsung, unseen heroes doing the real work of humanitarian aid — and who, by the very nature of what they do, often prefer to remain silent. We hiked in a remote region of southern Arizona on Bureau of Land Management land, all of us weighted down with backpacks filled with water, and equally weighted with the sorrow of the reality here. More people die in this region than in any other place along the border. The UN agency International Organization for Migration reported that 650 deaths occurred border-wide in 2021, making it the deadliest year they’ve ever recorded. Nothing indicates that 2022 is going to be any better. We placed gallon jugs of water under a plastic tub held down with rocks, and when I stood up, feeling lighter, I still felt weighted by the contradictions of this place. Sure, I know: Living in contradiction and the ability to hold opposing thoughts and emotions simultaneously is a hallmark of maturity, but still, sometimes the contradictions are so extreme that the brain shorts out. Cases in point: Nearby, there’s the hyper-ugly Barry M Goldwater Range, used for bombing practice, and the hyper-beauty of the nearby Organ Pipe National Monument. There’s the beauty and silence of the desert, despite the roar of military fighter jets above. There’s the nearby artsy, colorful town of Ajo, flanked by an enormous open pit copper mine, tailings pile looming alongside. There are the beautiful skeletons of saguaros in the desert, and the very-not-beautiful skeletons of humans. An area of such diverse life. An area of such death. And perhaps the most surreal contradiction of all: The assault on basic human kindness. How did we get to a place where offering shelter or a ride is a crime? A federal crime, with a prison sentence no less? A friend told a story in which she came across a young man on foot on a borderlands back road, and could not drive him to a medical facility, despite his request for her to do so, because she knew she could be arrested for transporting an illegal immigrant. She was already on the Border Patrol’s radar. She could give him water and food and a blanket—legal—but could not give him the ride he asked for— illegal. “You can’t imagine what that’s like,” she said. “To look into another human’s eyes and say, ‘No, I can’t help you.’”
Laura Pritchett There were tears in her eyes—she had, perhaps, left this man to die, but if she had allowed him in her car, she could have ended up in prison and jeopardized her other work helping migrants, which might result in other lost lives. My head hurt. My heart hurt. This place felt overwhelming. So are the related questions: Was I providing humanitarian aid? Or littering? Should I spend my time doing this small physical act? Or working to elect better politicians? Should I focus on this place so far from my home, or stay local? Why is this crisis on the border so ignored? Why do North Americans seem willing to support refugees from other countries—which I applaud—yet seem so resistant to helping those closest to us, who are also fleeing serious violence, political persecution, drought and hurricanes? Then there are the related issues: aquifers drained near the border wall, wildlife migrations interrupted, the Tohono O’odham peoples split apart, with relatives on the U.S. side not easily able to visit relatives in Mexico as they have since time immemorial. Such a clearly bad situation on so many levels. As I walked back to an old Subaru, my pack much lighter now, my shoulders still felt the weight. I wondered if anyone was watching me—waiting for me to be gone. Waiting for a simple, clear, uncomplicated moment to continue a journey.

Crammer, an unmarried woman Recorded: 10/1/2003 as Instrument No. 20037198 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California; Date of Sale: 3/4/2022 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the stairs of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn County Administration Building located at 981 H St, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $71,758.47 The purported property address is: 190 REDWOOD ROAD, KLAMATH, CA 95548 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 141- 172-17 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-881564-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939- 0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA20- 881564-JB to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Leading water conservation group IDs top five obsolete dams to remove in California Curtis Knight, Executive Director of CalTrout. “This removal project, which will be the largest dam removal in US history, is also a social justice issue. Salmon are central to the cultures and livelihoods of Klamath Basin Tribes.” More than 1,400 dams block California rivers, creeks and streams. Many of these structures block access to salmon and steelhead spawning and rearing habitat. Studies have shown access to upstream habitat is critical for promoting self-sustaining populations of migratory fish. While a great number of the state’s dams provide critical water supply, flood control and hydroelectric power, many others have outlived their functional lifespan and could be removed without impacting human health and safety. “Klamath Basin fish populations are hanging on by a thread. Removing these dams would go a long way toward ensuring resilient populations of salmon and steelhead native to the Klamath River system,” continued Knight.
Fish and watershed conservation non-profit organization California Trout (CalTrout) released a new report today detailing the top five dams ripe for removal in the Golden State. The lower four Klamath Dams are on the list. Removal of the dams named in the Top 5 California DAMS OUT Report would support the recovery of California’s native migratory salmon and steelhead populations, many of which are at critical risk of extinction; improve the health of watersheds, which benefits both people and wildlife; and provide economic, recreational and safety benefits to local communities. The dams identified in the report were carefully selected: dams that provide the least benefit for people and cause the greatest harms to imperiled native fish rose to the top. “Removing the lower four Klamath Dams is a big and important step toward restoring the health of the entire Klamath River watershed, benefitting native fish and local economies,” explained
Many dams create public safety concerns, lower water quality, and degrade watersheds, which hold cultural and economic importance for many Californians. Among other harms, dams block sediment from flowing downstream to the ocean. Sediment is critically important to support beaches and reduce coastal erosion. To learn more about the history of dams and dam removal in the U.S. and gain a deeper understanding of how CalTrout picked these top dams, see this StoryMap. CalTrout’s 2022 Top Five California DAMS OUT · Klamath Dams (Iron Gate Dam, Copco Dam #1, Copco Dam #2), Klamath River (Siskiyou County) Four aging hydroelectric dams, three of which are in California, block salmon and steelhead from reaching more than 300 miles of spawning and rearing habitat. Dam removal is expected to move forward in the coming years.
· Matilija Dam, Matilija Creek, tributary to Ventura River, near Ojai (Ventura County) Built in 1947 for water storage and flood control, Matilija Dam is now physically deteriorating and essentially non-functional due to excessive sedimentation. There is widespread support for removal among locals and public agencies. · Scott Dam, Eel River, in Potter Valley (Lake County) One of two dams in PG&E’s Potter Valley Project, which provides hydroelectricity, water storage and diversions into the Russian River. Scott Dam blocks 150 miles of salmon and steelhead rearing habitat. The future of the Potter Valley Project facilities is currently unknown, as PG&E has opted against pursuing a new license. · Rindge Dam, Malibu Creek, in Malibu (Los Angeles County) Located in Malibu Creek State Park about three miles upstream from the coastline, Rindge Dam was completed
in 1926 to provide water for irrigation and household use. The reservoir filled entirely with sediment by the 1940s. Removal would provide access to high-quality steelhead habitat and allow much-needed sediment to reach the ocean and reduce coastal erosion. · Battle Creek Dams, North Fork and South Fork Battle Creek, tributary to Sacramento River, near Red Bluff (Tehama County) This complex of 8 dams virtually eliminated access to 42 miles of migratory fish habitat as well as connectivity for resident fish populations. Removal of several dams is already underway. Currently owned by PG&E, the remaining dams will likely be decommissioned. CalTrout identified these dams as priorities for removal by reviewing a collection of scientific studies with the goal of assessing the overall benefits that removal would present to native fish and people.
Ask the DMV – Take care of your DMV business the safest and fastest way: online Did you know that most things you need to accomplish at the DMV can be done online? The DMV is encouraging Californians to access its expanded online services portal amid the surge of the omicron variant of COVID-19. In addition to providing more services online, the DMV has accommodated customers in many ways during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, the DMV announced the extension of commercial driver’s licenses, learner’s permits, endorsements and special certificates expiring between March 2020 and February 2022, through February 28, 2022. Q1: I have a commercial driver’s license that is
about to expire; how can I get it renewed? A1: Renewing a commercial driver’s license previously required a visit to a DMV office. However, the DMV is now offering most commercial driver’s license renewals online. Those who are eligible can simply renew their license at www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/ dmv-virtual-office/commercial-driver-license-renewal. Eligible commercial drivers can upload the necessary documents, pay the required fee by credit or debit card, and then receive their new card within a few weeks. While most commercial drivers can renew their driver’s license online, some exemptions may require an appoint-
ment at a local field office. Q2: I would prefer to visit the DMV in-person, is that an option for me? A2: California DMV offices are still open for business. To protect the health and safety of DMV employees and customers, the DMV requires everyone in its offices to wear face coverings, keep their distance, wash hands frequently, and stay home if they are sick. Customers are also asked to limit the number of family members who accompany them to an office to those who are necessary to complete a transaction, and to be patient while waiting to be served. Additionally, Californians can use a DMV
kiosk, with locations throughout the state that often offer extended hours. At a kiosk they can complete their vehicle registration renewal and print tags on the spot, submit

Oregon State research uncovers key insight for restoration of globally important kelp forests water, where they form large aquatic forests that provide essential habitat, food and refuge for many species. Their sensitivity to certain growing conditions means climate change and a warming ocean are particularly problematic for them. Kelp are often harvested for use in products ranging from toothpaste and shampoos to puddings and cakes, and they also help support nutrient cycling, shoreline protection and commercial fisheries such as rockfish. Economists place kelp’s value in the range of billions of dollars annually. Looking for a connection between seafloor structure and kelp forest health, Randell and collaborators at Oregon State and the U.S. Geological Survey Western Ecological Research Center looked at decades of data from subtidal monitoring around San Nicolas Island. The island is the farthest offshore of the Channel Islands off the Southern California coast, and the data came from nearly 40 years of biannual surveys by scientific SCUBA divers. The research group that also included OSU’s Mark Novak and the USGS’s Michael Kenner, Joseph Tomoleoni and Julie Yee is the first to demonstrate a link between substrate complexity and kelp forest dynamics, Randell said. The scientists found that relatively flat seafloor locations showed abrupt transitions between kelp forests and urchin barrens, and from urchin barrens to kelp forests. “But sites with a lot of physical structure along the seafloor showed resilience – the forested state was able to persist, even when similarly disturbed compared to the flat locations,” Randell said. “The seafloor connection needs further study given recent kelp
By Steve Lundeberg Guest Article
Restoration efforts for kelp forests may be most effective in areas where the bedrock seafloor is highly contoured, research by Oregon State University suggests. The findings, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are important because kelp, large algae with massive ecological and economic importance around the world, are under siege from environmental change and overgrazing by urchins. The study, led by recent graduate Zachary Randell when he was an Oregon State doctoral student, shows that kelp forests in areas with ocean floor ruggedness – scientifically termed substrate complexity or surface rugosity – tend toward stability. There were urchins in kelp forests growing in areas of high substrate complexity, but those urchins did not cause widespread destruction of kelp forests. One hypothesis is that substrate complexity retains “drift algae” – detached pieces of kelp and other algae – which urchins prefer to eat over live kelp, Randell said. “Kelp forests are declining worldwide due to different combinations of environmental change and lower numbers of the predators that control urchins, like sea stars, cod and sea otters,” Randell said. “More and more kelp forests are transitioning into what are known as ‘urchin barrens,’ an alternative arrangement of the ecosystem with dramatically fewer species, including species of recreational, commercial and conservation interest.” Kelp are a foundation species that occupy nearly 50% of the world’s marine ecoregions. They especially thrive in cold
declines and a push for restoration efforts like outplanting or urchin removal. Understanding the factors behind tipping points and switches between states, which many types of ecosystems are subject to, is key to effective management.” The research suggests restoration efforts could target areas with abundant substrate complexity to create “hotspots of resilience,” Randell said. Where complexity doesn’t exist naturally, it could be manufactured – for example, via artificial reefs – he added. “Those artificial reefs could also be the focus of outplanting recovery efforts of sea urchin predators, such as the captive rearing and release of sea stars,” he said. “The reefs could be constructed as optimal environments for urchin predators and also for urchins and the drift algae Contributed photo that urchins eat.” Kelp forests have been declining for a number of years, but research by Oregon State University could help Another interesting return to the forests to healthy status. component of the findings, Randell noted, is that urchin density in a healthy kelp forest was often similar to that of an urchin barren; thus the animal that often gets a bad rap as a destroyer of kelp forests may actually be just one piece in a much larger puzzle, he said.

Low-carbon cement approved for California highway projects
STEVEN LUNDEBERG
Guest Article
Caltrans has approved the use of low-carbon cement following testing by the Oregon State University College of Engineering. Caltrans is the agency responsible for more than 50,000 miles of highways and freeways in California, The use of portland limestone cement, or PLC, will help reduce the carbon footprint of California’s transportation system by as much as 10% annually compared to ordinary portland cement, according to the transportation agency. PLC has a higher percentage of limestone, which results in the carbon savings. Portland cement, developed in England in the
early 1800s, is the most common type of binder used in concrete. According to Caltrans, in 2017 alone, the agency used 325,000 tons of cement to upgrade the California highway system. Shifting to low-carbon cement can potentially reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 28,000 tons a year – the amount produced by 6,000 cars. The PLC approval was based on Caltrans-funded research by Oregon State University’s (OSU) Jason Weiss, professor of civil and construction engineering and the Miles Lowell and Margaret Watt Edwards Distinguished Chair in Engineering. The research concluded that PLC will work just as
well as portland cement for Caltrans projects, while being more climate friendly and costing a bit less. Globally, the production of portland cement is estimated to be responsible for as much as 8% of the carbon released into the Earth’s atmosphere. “Cement accounts for such a high level of emissions because of how extensively it’s used around the world,” Weiss said. “We use 10 times more concrete than any other building material, and it is becoming more and more urgent in the face of climate change that we reduce the carbon footprint of infrastructure materials.” Weiss explains that cement is usually produced by
mining, grinding and heating clay and limestone in industrial kilns to temperatures as high as 2,820 degrees Fahrenheit. The process alters the materials’ chemistry and creates “clinker,” cement’s main component, and also generates large quantities of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. The PLC process uses more limestone – up to
15%, or 10% more than ordinary cement – and results in less clinker, with the environmental upshot being a smaller amount of carbon emissions, Weiss said. “Our goal is always to produce better, more sustainable and longer-lasting concrete,” Weiss said. “We don’t want to do research that sits in a book on a shelf.
We want to impact standards, specifications and construction practices that move the civil and construction engineering profession forward.” Steve Lundeberg is a researcher and writer for Oregon State University Relations and Marketing. He may be reached at steve.lundeberg@oregonstate.edu
