"The sea surrounding Marin on three sides is one o "The sea surrounding Marin on three sides is one of its most beautiful features. And yet, estimates predict that in 25 years the ocean will be about one foot higher than it is today.

But this isn’t a future problem. Anyone living east of 101 or biking the Mill Valley path or driving in Corte Madera knows Marin is flooding now. 

The Transportation Authority of Marin has identified 19 areas of vulnerability in the county. Mikaela Hiatt, an associate planner at TAM, says they are looking at a timeline of solutions and options, recognizing that some roads, such as evacuation routes, may need attention sooner. 'Raising a road 6 inches won’t allow for long-term protection but it could provide access in the near-term,' she said. 

We’re all connected by roads, many of which are on the county’s bay side, said Anne Richman, TAM’s executive director. Keeping roads passable is a safety issue.

'An impasse or a failure in one area can affect people who don’t live nearby,' she said. 'Even if you live further inland, your ability to get around will be impacted.'

Predicting how high the water will rise or when is less important than preparing, according to Chris Choo, assistant director of the Marin County Community Development Agency. 'We need to plan for that water — whether it comes as storm surge or king tides or sea level rise.'

Planning for what some perceive as a 'long-term emergency' is hard, Choo said, but it’s been getting easier. 'When you see water rising and rising, waves crashing against your home… it’s humbling and frightening,' she said. 'It hits at a gut level.'

Marin County Supervisor Stephanie Moulton-Peters agrees. 'No one should be surprised about this anymore,' she said, and our changing climate 'is an invitation to co-create the future.'”

"A chapter has closed in the long-fought battle ov "A chapter has closed in the long-fought battle over land use in Point Reyes National Seashore. In January, 12 out of 14 ranches in the national seashore agreed to cease operations in 2026, in a settlement with the National Park Service and environmental groups. Fences will be torn down, cattle relocated and ranchers compensated. Of about 18,000 acres previously designated as agricultural land, 16,000 will be rezoned as a 'scenic landscape zone.' In all, the park is 71,000 acres.

Ranching in Point Reyes predated its establishment as a national seashore in 1964. In the years following the park’s founding, ranchers sold their properties to the National Park Service and have since leased the land from NPS. Litigation has surrounded land use in the park for decades, as concerns arose about ranching’s impact on the environment, especially for endemic tule elk that graze the land. 

What are your thoughts on the balance of conservation and ranching in Point Reyes?"

"When Chantelle Paige-Mulligan and her family want "When Chantelle Paige-Mulligan and her family wanted to bring a new furry friend into their lives, Mill Valley-based nonprofit SaveABunny was the perfect fit, and it wasn’t long before they adopted Pop-Tart the bunny to accompany their mini pig and rescue mutt. 

True to SaveABunny’s mission, Pop-Tart was a legally released lab rabbit they took under their wing in hopes she would find a loving home just like Paige-Mulligan’s. 

'She hops up and bumps her nose on us for cuddles constantly and has far more personality than I thought a bunny could,' Paige-Mulligan says.

While many bunnies are taken in by SaveABunny, Pop-Tart’s transition from a lab to a family is what the nonprofit considers 'a beautiful example of the healing, hope and inspiration that SaveABunny embodies and champions regarding rabbit welfare.'

Fellow bunny lovers have plenty of ways to support this mission as well and get a dopamine boost through SaveABunny’s opportunities. Browse their website to see rabbits eligible for adoption or fostering, or sign up to volunteer if you can’t commit just yet."

Believe it or not, that’s 240 issues, around 27,840 produced pages and 835,200,000 total reader impressions for our print product over 20 years — a lot of ink and paper. In that time we’ve covered Marin County’s reaction to a nationwide pandemic and dove into important issues with award-winning articles on race equity, homelessness, climate change and more. We hope you enjoy this trip through the last 10 years as we look back at notable stories.”

"For many families and individuals, adoption is th "For many families and individuals, adoption is the chance at a new narrative, a new future, a new path. In most cases biological parents put their children up for adoption when they know they are not able to care for them sufficiently, while adoptive parents seek to adopt children when they cannot or do not wish to have children of their own.

Many adoptions unfold through systems that protect the identities of people on both sides of the family equation. Sometimes, however, adopted children do whatever they can once they reach adulthood to track down their biological parents and other family members and establish grown-up relationships.

Here in Marin County, these reconnections happen all the time."
