Orange background with text: I’m frustrated and deeply concerned by the repeat fire at Moss Landing. 

Early this morning I received initial briefings on the Moss Landing battery energy storage fire.

Although initial cleanup and battery removal, under the supervision of the federal EPA, were completed two weeks ago, 1,500 hard-to-access batteries remain in the damaged area of the facility.

This incident is ongoing, and we don’t yet know all details.

I strongly ask surrounding communities to follow all safety instructions from emergency services.

As California celebrates Biodiversity Week, we point your attention to the coast redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains as an awe-inspiring example of our state’s natural abundance.🌲Redwood forests create microclimates under their towering canopies where an intricate web of life flourishes.
A scenic view of the Santa Cruz Mountains with text overlay about the coast redwood forests being examples of natural abundance. Foreground includes a raven and a butterfly illustration. Text at the bottom reads "California Biodiversity Week.

A lush redwood forest with tall trees is shown. Text explains how redwood forests create microclimates by capturing fog and cooling the air. In the foreground, there are images of a bird and a bobcat. The bottom text reads "California Biodiversity Week.

🚨Coral City Bleaching Report🚨 The Summer of 2026 is on track to have the warmest local sea surface temperatures since the bleaching event of 2023. However, the impacts on coral health appear to be considerably less severe compared to the devastating impact 2023 had on our reefs.

Scarface checks in. The injury from a fight with a fisherman continues to heal from last year when the corners of his jaw was completely shredded. Sadly his jaw may never heal. He’s a bit skinnier than we’d like to see but he must be eating well enough to keep on swimming ✅🍋🦈 #coralcitycamera
