The Mouth That Poured

 

Why do water levels in the lagoon look like they’re always high tide? The lagoon mouth has been closed for some time by a natural sand dam or “sill” formed via wave action.

State Parks tells us that the lagoon mouth has been scheduled to be opened with State operated heavy earth-moving equipment on May 13.  This is great news for all life in the lagoon threatened by eutrophication*—the nasty end result of what most of us would call stagnation.

A Letter to Our Members: Parking Pass Crisis

Dear valued Members,

The California Department of Parks and Recreation's (DPR) decision has been made: We at Torrey Pines Association (TPA) may no longer include parking privileges as part of our membership benefits for our new or renewing members. All existing passes -- annual or lifetime -- will be honored until they expire.
