Woke me from a dead sleep. Sounded like 6 or 9 gun shots north of Melrose on Maitland DR.

APD said they found no evidence of gun shots and suspect fireworks.…Read More

So sad to see. Did you report this to East Bay Regional Park District? I provided the number in your…Read More last posting.

Yes, I reported it to the EBRP staff who happened to be nearby at the beach. I also reported it to…Read More the warden of Fish and Wildlife in Sacramento and the warden of the local territory. The local warden told me yesterday that he will be patrolling the area, but I did not get to speak to him today (only left both wardens a voicemail message).

Nice, thanks for the update, and sharing these posts with us, Lorraine. If it is a person behind all…Read More of this, hopefully he/she will get caught soon.

Leaving a note to them is a bad idea if it really is a illegal operation. So many ways that can go…Read More wrong. Just call the police dept. Leave a tip. Simple and safe.

Agree with Carol. Perhaps an anonymous tip to Alameda Fire or Alameda Police.

My condolences to Mort's family. This was a man who had a rich, full life. Thank you for sharing.

Given the targeted harvesting of parts, this is not a "times are hard and food is scarce"…Read More issue. It's greedy, ignorant, and yes it's disgusting and disrespectful to nature. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/2012/01/17/manta-rays-endangered-by-sudden-demand-from-chinese-medicine/

Thank you both (Nay and Analisa) for the information. Maybe I got the name of the park service…Read More mixed up. It was the beach area around Grand St.

I contacted Crown Beach (part of the EBRP). They checked into the matter with Fish and Wildlife…Read More (previously Fish and Game), to see if there was any wrongdoing. On the surface of things, it seems the wings (fins) are the edible part of the ray. And apparently, the way regulations are written it may not be even be considered littering! So, however inhumane, disrespectful, selfish, gruesome it may seem, there may not have been any fishing laws broken. Although, when I spoke with the warden of Fish and Wildlife he said he will be looking into the matter. To voice your opinion and propose changes to regulation, you can write a letter to and attend a Fish and Game Commission town hall meeting here is the link: http://www.fgc.ca.gov/contact/ and http://www.fgc.ca.gov/meetings/2013/index.aspx I plan on writing to suggest regulation against polluting public beaches with unused portions of the catch from fishing and also ask for recommendations on limiting the catch on fish that only have small percentage of edible parts (such as the rays). I would welcome any help in a letter writing campaign, the contact information is listed on the link provided above. Many Thanks.
