THE MONTEREY BAY NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY
"Today, marine sanctuaries are places in the sea, as elusive as a sea breeze, - as a singing whale. They are beautiful, or priceless, or rare bargains, long-term assets, or fun, or all of these and more. Above all, sanctuaries now and with care will continue to be "special places." Each of us can have the pleasures of defining what that means."
Dr. Sylvia Earle

"From deep within the turquoise waters of this jewel in the nation's crown of sanctuaries, life radiates with the ebb and flow of the tides. Gulls and pelicans soar overhead, slicing through the sea mists on their long, gracefully arched wings. Harbor seals lounging on offshore boulders exhale with audible sighs. Forests of giant kelp undulate in the currents, while silver clouds of fish sweep through the dappled light and darkness of the deep. Thousands of colorful and camouflaged anemones, crabs, shrimp, urchins, and sea stars turn the seafloor into a mosaic of undersea life."

... Help add new subscribers to KnowledgeFarm ... KnowledgeFarm has issued over 70 newsletters since Bill Katavolos coined the name to reflect his vision of small rural learning centers tucked into the interstitial "left-overs" of circular irrigation fields on the great plains. KF subscribership has remained small and friendly - currently a master list of 30. Over the past year, about a dozen people decided it's not for them and dropped off the list while about the same number of new people signed on. For now, it is what it is, a weekly portrait of someone or someplace that seems to be making a difference for the health of the planet mixed with a collection of photographs I take along the way and quotes that I find particularly inspiring. This probably won't change much. I have added the Travelogue as a way to follow Rich Kurczak on his way to Africa and back and this section may grow as others contribute similar adventures. If you have found the KnowledgeFarm newsletter interesting or thought provoking please take a few minutes and forward this page to some friends. In the coming months the newsletter will feature these two fascinating subjects: Bill Katavolos' new work addressing coastal disaster relief planning in the form of self sustaining fish farms that can withstand tidal surges and convert to shelters for evacuees. Peter Ralston's ongoing work at the remarkable Island Institute in Rockland, Maine where they support education, fellowships and housing in the working waterfront islands of the Maine coast.
