In this episode, we talk about the loss of bull kelp along the Northern California coast and the efforts underway to restore the ecosystem,and about the first annual Kelp Festival May-June 2024 with the Mendocino Film Festival, Above/Below, and the many organizations, chefs, and people who came together to raise awareness about this critical issue and the positive things people are doing about it. Sheila has led the development of the Noyo Center from its inception in 2015. She has worked in coastal and marine conservation for more than twenty-five years, most recently with the California State Coastal Conservancy where she served as senior staff to the California Ocean Protection Council. Sheila’s experience developing highly collaborative programs like the California Seafloor and Shoreline Mapping Program or the Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program has enabled her to work with all of California’s marine labs, with local, state and federal agencies, and with academic and industry leaders conducting leading-edge marine research. The Noyo Center has a 3-pronged approach to development, supporting an innovative research program, creating an integrated education program and building a world-class facility for research, education and tourism.
