The ghost town of Jewell located in West Marin was once a tourist destination, but is now abandoned and in disarray. The houses are old and dilapidated, and impacting the nearby creek ecosystem that is home to the last remaining run of endangered Central California Coastal coho salmon. SPAWN is working to restore the 1-mile area back to its natural state.
Turtle Island Restoration Network and Kurmalliance, our partners in Southern California, were honored to be featured in Mantra Magazine for our work to phase our deadly California driftnets. Pick up the magazine at Whole Foods and health stores nationwide.
SPAWN is hard at work restoring the abandoned Readimix concrete plant on Black Mountain Ranch. The goal of the project is to restore the existing parking area back into a natural riparian forest, one that existed before the cement plant was built.

New data from George Mason University has revealed that shark meat sold in San Jose and Heredia food markets contain high levels of toxic mercury. The levels are so high that three shark species tested exceed U.S. federal health guidelines.
