In 2010 CEDO is proud and excited to be celebrating our 30th anniversary. In 1980 we opened our doors and for three decades now have been working on important research, education and conservation issues in the Northern Gulf of California. Visit our 30th anniversary webpage to learn about the special events we have planned in honor of this achievement, including involvement in Puerto Peñasco's Carnaval, Las Conchas Home Tour (see next blurb), Tucson Festival of Books and a celebration at Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson on May 1. * Logo designed by Margaret Kimball

Las Conchas Home Tour on March 6th
CEDO and the Las Conchas neighborhood in Puerto Peñasco are pleased to announce that we will once again be hosting a Las Conchas Home Tour this year. This annual home tour was begun many years ago as a fun fundraising activity organized by CEDO's docents. People in the Las Conchas neighborhood will open their beautiful homes from 11am - 3pm on March 6th for people to come by and visit.

Tickets to the Home Tour are $15/person (groups of 5 or more are $12/each), and are currently available in the CEDO gift shop. Event day tickets will be available on the main Las Conchas road. All proceeds from this event go to benefit CEDO in its programs and projects. We are very grateful to the Las Conchas neighborhood's continued support in organizing the tour and to the homeowners for opening their homes for CEDO.

CEDO and Partners Push for Wetland Conservation in the Gulf of California

CEDO participated in the Second Forum on Regional Development and Sustainability: Coastal Wetlands - Threats and Opportunities in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. The forum was organized by ALCOSTA, the Alliance for Sustainability in Coastal Northwest Mexico, a group of 22 organizations including CEDO, with the goal of strengthening local capacity and sharing the regional perspective of coastal wetlands with researchers and non-profit organizations working on these issues.

Alejandro Castillo, assistant director of CEDO shared the experience in Puerto Peñasco with the talk "Threats and opportunities for non-mangrove wetlands" presenting an integral model of legal conservation tools, environmental education and ecotourism. Exequiel Ezcurra, former director of the National Institute of Ecology in Mexico and current director of the Mexico/U.S. Institute at the University of California, gave the major conference speech, sharing his view on global warming and wetlands where he outlined the importance of changing the current coastal development model to a more sustainable and integral one. The results from this forum will be shared with the Mexican Congress to encourage legislation for wetland protection and for tourism development regulation.

Staff Spotlights: Jenny Aranson and Alan Berman

Jenny Aranson
jenny_snorkel.jpgQue tal fellow sea farers! My name is Jenny Aranson, and I am volunteering for CEDO's NaturArte program. I am continually intrigued and inspired by salty aquatic ecosystems. I hope to encourage a similar range of emotions for the environment, exploration, learning, and conservation, using experience, education, and fun as a catalyst for this connection. I earned a degree in Adventure Education with a focus in Marine Exploration from Prescott College in Arizona. Through this degree I first came to the Gulf of California. I immediately fell in love with this sea and all its inhabitants. After graduation I moved to other waters (Caribbean Sea, Bay of Fundy, and Long Island Sound) instructing sailing and environmental science, but returned to Mexico in pursuit of exploration and adventure. I return to the Gulf this year in efforts to educate, learn, explore, conserve, and as always, to have fun.

Alan Berman
alan_picture.jpgHello CEDO E-Newsletter readers! My name is Alan Berman. I graduated from Prescott College, too, with a degree in marine studies and visual art, and have since worked at sea turtle nesting beaches in Costa Rica with the Programa Restauración de Tortugas Marinas, and as a naturalist with the CT DEP.  I have spent my best moments in and around the ocean, and want to help keep it healthy for future generations.   

I have a dream to become an integral part of an ecological renaissance, where nations and individuals work together to protect and understand our planet and fellow species, and where conservationists become an empowered majority.  I will contribute to this dream with my art, creative writing, passion for adventure and love of teaching, and look forward to a great year at CEDO.
