About the Bolinas Lagoon Foundation
The mission of the Bolinas Lagoon Foundation is to promote the conservation, protection and restoration of Bolinas Lagoon in Marin County, California, and its natural surroundings as a unique natural resource; to support scientific study of Bolinas Lagoon; to encourage an active concern for Bolinas Lagoon to the public; and to work with and assist other non-profit and charitable agencies concerned with the welfare of Bolinas Lagoon.
During 1994 two local residents of Stinson Beach noticed that Bolinas Lagoon appeared to have more exposed "bottom" at low tide than had previously been the case. They were concerned that, if the trend continued, the lagoon could fill with sediment. The Bolinas Lagoon Technical Advisory Committee had already become alarmed. After a comparison and analysis of 1968, 1978 and 1988 bathymetric surveys by its U.S. Geological Survey members, the mathematical comparisons indicated a serious, exponential increase in sediment deposition.
In December 1994, the Bolinas Lagoon Foundation commissioned a study of the physical condition of the lagoon, followed by preparation of a "white paper" to outline the physical problems of the lagoon and creation of a plan of action to take the problem to Congress, the Community, the County and the State.
