Bay Nature Spring 2025

Description

In this issue, we swim down to the depths of Monterey Canyon (with our ears, at least) to listen to sperm whales, whose utterances scientists are just beginning to understand. We celebrate 15 years of Local Hero Awards. We visit Molok Luyuk, one of California’s most biodiverse places. We go out with a professional puma-poop-sniffer; we ogle grebes that are looking for love. We look up at our night skies through Ohlone eyes. Plus: why cutting down redwoods is sometimes a good thing, and a disco in a tidepool.
