Sound has always been at the core of my work but never at this level, he explains. If a reef is alive with sound it's most likely to stay alive right? And repopulate.

The transformation of Pacheco Marsh from a scarred dumping ground into a pristine wetland represents a significant achievement in environmental restoration, showcasing the potential for nature to reclaim industrial sites.

The perk of a lush garden? Hidden spots to tuck a table.

"The most successful wildlife trips follow animal patterns and seasonality," says Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist Josh Geller of Embark Beyond.

At his home in Pasadena, high schooler Atticus Jackson frantically shoved his belongings into his car as the sky turned a deep orange. A few hundred feet away, the fire climbed up the mountain and a cloud of red and gray smoke obscured the view.

Recovery from the Hermit's Peak-Calf Canyon Fire has been daunting, with residents waiting for disaster relief payments while floods contaminate drinking water downstream.

"They didn't even try to fly away. They just feebly made noise," a woman told the Santa Barbara Independent on Saturday after spotting over two dozen dead or dying cormorants near Goleta Beach. "A few were on their stomachs, wings spread [and] gasping for breath.... Heartbreaking."

"Not only are acts like that illegal, but it's really harming a very important, like, a biodiversity hotspot that we have right out here," Brent Fish, an aquarist with Birch Aquarium, stated.

For Staller, foraging is a "precious" and "simple" activity that one can do to connect with nature.

"We are returning to the most basic part of being a human, which is eating food and celebrating it," Staller said. "It's a lost artform."

If you enter the amounts of different types of plastic that you clean up into the Wildlife Impact Calculator, it will tell you how many animal lives would have been at risk, had those items made their way into the ocean and been ingested.

She looks really good for what I can see through the window,

The question of how to protect fish and the ecological health of rivers that feed California's largest estuary is generating heated debate in a series of hearings in Sacramento, as state officials try to gain support for a plan that has been years in the making.
