About the Book

A thoughtful, historical and richly illustrated work on conservation approaches for San Diego Bay

Review :
"San Diego Bay: A Call for Conservation achieves a perfect balance of warning, encouragement, lament and celebration. The authors unflinchingly detail the errors of their elders, but give plenty of ink to their successes, equally valuable as lessons. This brilliant, elegant volume is at once a source for our present and a prescription for our futurea future which, thankfully, is in the hands of the authors themselves and young earth advocates like them." -- Ted Williams, Editor-at-Large "Audubon magazine" "This fourth book on San Diego Bay by the students of Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High is a worthy follow-up to its highly acclaimed predecessors. This inspiring work takes an even more in-depth look at the astounding range of biodiversity that makes up San Diego Bay, and the intricate conservation challenges facing this vulnerable ecosystem. Through careful research and a series of thoughtful interviews, students explore causes of decline and propose solutions for the recovery of a number of threatened and endangered species. Part history, part politics, part biology, part artistic reflection, and all heart, this compilation is a remarkable testament to the power of project-based learning in a complex and changing world." -- Allison Alberts, Director of Conservation and Research "Zoological Society of San Diego" "Most people are amazed that such important results can be achieved by high school students. I am not one of those! I know this group of studentsthe "High Tech High Roots & Shoots" teamand have become familiar with their high standard of excellence. Each year they design innovative ways of working within their communities to improve the lives not only of wildlife but also the human population of San Diego. One of my reasons for hope is the growing number of young people who care about the future of Planet Earth. These students exemplify the kind of informed, passionate, determined and active young people who can, together, create a more harmonious future, which is immensely reassuring since they are the future stewards." -- Jane Goodall , Ph.D., DBE "Jane Goodall Institute"
