Topic: Alameda Walks: Crab Cove Visitor Center and Aquarium at Crown Memorial Posted: 13.Jul.2018 at 04:00 |
It's Friday, so let's cover something besides Autodesk technology. The Alameda Recreation and Parks Department (ARPD) provides advice, coordination, and guidance on parks and recreational facilities in the city of Alameda. One of the activities they conduct is called Alameda Walks where they invite Alameda residents to lace up their walking shoes, bring family, friends, and neighbors and join them on an hour-long walk on the 1st and 2nd Saturday mornings of each month, May through October. For those who are new to Alameda or have lived there for decades, this is a great way to begin a Saturday morning exploring neighborhoods and learning about the history of Alameda. The walks begin at 9:00 a.m. and last approximately one hour. On Saturday, July 7, I attended a walk that started at Crab Cove. The Crab Cove Visitor Center and Aquarium at Crown Memorial State Beach is a jewel of Alameda. Since the Old Wharf Classroom opened in 1968, the cove has been connecting students of all ages with marine and shoreline life, as well as Alameda history. The entertaining educational opportunities increase students' understanding of the environmental importance of San Francisco Bay. There is strong emphasis on the interdependence of marine life and shore life and on the urgency of preserving the marine and estuarine environment. Hence, it is no surprise that Crab Cove was designated as the first California estuarine marine reserve in 1982. Although the walk is sponsored by ARPD, Crab Cove is part of the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD). EBRPD is a system of beautiful parklands and trails in Alameda and Contra Costa counties to the east of San Francisco. The system comprises 121,397 acres in 73 parks, including over 1,250 miles of trails. They acquire, manage, and preserve natural and cultural resources for all to enjoy now and into the future. Our guide for the Alameda Walk was EBRPD Naturalist, Susan Ramos. Here are some of the fun facts Susan shared with our walking group:
Thanks, Susan, EBRPD, and ARPD. Alameda Walks is a great way to learn about Alameda and get out in the fresh air, and on this particular walk, we learned a great deal. Given that we learned while we walked, I guess you could say that fish aren't the only ones who travel in schools. Walking is alive in the lab. Go to the original post... |
