SUMMARY:Community Resilience Day: Welcoming the Palisades Fire Map to Heal the Bay
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 1\,2025 | 12–4 PM |  \nHeal the Bay Aquarium\, Santa Monica PierFree admission for this special occasion | All ages welcome \nJoin us for Community Resilience Day at Heal the Bay Aquarium as we welcome the powerful new Palisades Fire Map to the Bay. This large-scale installation honors the loss\, resilience\, and recovery surrounding the 2025 LA Fires and will be temporarily displayed at the Aquarium under the Santa Monica Pier. \nFor this special occasion\, the Aquarium will be free and open to the public. Come by for a one-time chance to experience the map in its debut setting and to take part in a meaningful day of reflection and connection. \nGrab a warm cup of coffee by the beach\, connect with neighbors\, and explore the stories behind the fire. The 8’ x 16’ freestanding map provides space for remembrance and community healing\, especially for Westside residents who saw the disaster transform their homes\, schools\, and coastline. It also illustrates how fire impacts cascade downstream to the ocean\, revealing our deep connection to water\, land\, and one another. \n☕ Complimentary coffee and refreshments🌊 Learn how wildfire affects ocean health and coastal communities📍 Map created with support from LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath🔗 On-site QR code with resources\, fire relief info & ways to get involved \nLet’s remember\, reconnect\, and commemorate the resiliency of our region—together. \nMapping Our Way Through an Unprecedented Disaster\n \nSince the devastating fires of January 7th\, Heal the Bay has been discussing how we could create a place for the community to express thoughts and feelings about the collective loss from the fires.  All Angelenos have borne a loss in the days that followed that frightful night. Gathering and sharing in the wake of any disaster is a way of honoring what once was.  \nThe Altadena fire map project\, created by Noel McCarthy\, has proven to be a powerful tool for community healing. People stand in front of it\, and the storytelling begins. Some stand in silence\, some share a story about a friend’s loss\, and some point to where their house once stood. It’s a vulnerability that brings intimacy and builds community. \nThe Westside community took a massive hit\, losing 6\,822 homes\, businesses\, houses of worship\, and schools. There are rings of loss\, like those that no longer have a workplace to return to. The Westside community\, not directly impacted by the Palisades Fire\, has had limited opportunity to mourn the loss and express fears about the damaged coast.  \nThe Palisades Map is made possible by support from Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath.  \nThe Artist’s Statement: Noel McCarthy\nHealing is a process. \n It’s best to begin by acknowledging what has happened. \nSometimes words and photographs fail at communicating events\, and that can be frustrating. \n It matters for both those who experienced the event when it happened and for those in the wider community who weren’t here because the next step is crucial—understanding. \nUnderstanding that each little red house represents much more than a structure\, it represents a person\, a family\, a community member\, a culmination of (sometimes many lifetimes)… so many ideas…so many dreams.  \nThe next step is lengthy and often messy\, especially when the story is complex as this. We often never get there\, and that has Meaning. \nMeaning is often elusive\, especially with pain associated with the inevitable isolation that usually occurs following a tragedy. These days\, people move on. They do. We do. We’ve been trained for it\, but for those on the inside\, tragedy is a verb. It starts with an event\, followed by a long\, often disorderly period of transitions. It is made all the more difficult by uncertainty\, the unknown outcome that prolongs the pain. \nThere are people still dying from the attacks on 911. There are those who still need caring for. Think of all the conflicts that never really resolve. History isn’t really history. It’s quite active and subject to near-constant reinterpretation – based on ever-changing social norms\, etc.  \nNew pressures on old problems — old tragedies. \nEffective historical records only begin with objective truth.  \nThey are then colored and informed by the individual experience. That is what makes them real. The gravity or the insight that numbers can’t ever show —  the human costs… This is where our work starts. Healing is much more than forgetting. \nA memorial is exactly what it sounds like — Memory in an accessible context. \n In any event\, context often needs time to achieve the longer-term goal of Meaning. The best we can do in the meantime is take notes and Listen—listen to the stories and pay attention to the facts\, especially now that we’re still at the beginning. \nThe scab is yet to form. \nEventually\, all of these red houses will be black again. \nBut at this moment\, it’s crucial to catalogue (however painful) what happened here.  \nThis fire.  \nSo we can someday find meaning and then move on to the important work of creating and nurturing a thriving society.

SUMMARY:May 2025 eDNA Sampling Community Science Event
DESCRIPTION:Dive into cutting-edge science and meet fellow volunteers at our monthly community science event in Malibu. Discover the fascinating world of eDNA water testing\, which helps track biodiversity and monitor our Marine Protected Areas. \nSIGN UP \nMay eDNA Sampling Event Safety Information\nAlthough our Malibu eDNA sample sites are accessible\, there are many unknown factors that could pose risks to your health and safety. Following the January 2025 fires\, there is limited data on how water quality and sand conditions may have been impacted\, making it difficult to determine whether these beaches are safe. To prioritize your safety\, our eDNA team has implemented the following precautions: \n\nAvoid swimming in these areas.\nWear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)\, including masks\, while surveying.\nVolunteers entering the water will be provided with gloves\, waders\, and goggles.\nBring spare socks if you plan to enter the water.\nClosed-toed shoes are required\, especially in this area due to potential hazards.\nDo not handle fire debris without gloves.\n\nAs community scientists\, we trust you to make informed decisions based on the evolving data and understanding of these conditions. Please do not put yourself in any situation where you feel unsafe. If you have any questions or concerns\, don’t hesitate to reach out. And for updates as new data become available\, check out our Ash to Action page. \n**You must sign our Heal the Bay eDNA Waiver before attending our event. Volunteers under 17 must have their parent(s) (or guardian(s)\, if any) sign the waiver. \n**A previous Heal the Bay Volunteer Orientation MUST be attended and completed before you can attend the eDNA event. The orientation occurs bimonthly. Learn about our next orientation here. \nPlease contact the MPA Watch Team at mpawatch@healthebay.org with any questions.
