Local piers impacted by crashing waves

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:53:07 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- The surf slammed into the piers across the county, spraying and soaking locals and tourists all trying to get close, but not too close to the powerful swells. “You are feeling it right now, it shakes it wobbles… it’s kind of exciting, but scary,” said Trisha Baglioni, a manager for a restaurant on the Imperial Beach Pier.  The surf was a solid eight to 12 feet, with sneaker sets even bigger and more swell is on the way. The Ocean Beach Pier and Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach were shutdown due to the heavy surf, but the Oceanside pier stayed open throughout the biggest surf.

Most money for endangered species goes to a small number of creatures, leaving others in limbo

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:53:07 GMT

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Since passage of the Endangered Species Act 50 years ago, more than 1,700 plants, mammals, fish, insects and other species in the U.S. have been listed as threatened or endangered with extinction. Yet federal government data reveals striking disparities in how much money is allocated to save various biological kingdoms.Of the roughly $1.2 billion a year spent on endangered and threatened species, about half goes toward recovery of just two types of fish: salmon and steelhead trout along the West Coast. Tens of millions of dollars go to other widely known animals including manatees, right whales, grizzly bears and spotted owls.But the large sums directed toward a handful of species means others have gone neglected, in some cases for decades, as they teeter on potential extinction.At the bottom of the spending list is the tiny Virginia fringed mountain snail, which had $100 spent on its behalf in 2020, according to the most recent data available. The underground...
