The event will raise funds for the conservancy’s efforts toward island conservation and preser- vation. In the main event, participants can

SD Coastkeeper releases king tides time-lapse video
SAN DIEGO —In response to the king tides that hit San Diego earlier this year, San Diego Coastkeeper released time-lapse footage of December’s king tides turning the Kendall-Frost Mission Bay Marsh from a muddy field into a flowing
in San Diego, Remedios Gomez Arnau, Director of Mexico Tourism Board San Diego Alejandro Santander and “Our Silences” artist Rivelino in the unveiling ceremony. The artwork consists of 10 large bronze
figures, each standing 11 ½ feet tall and weighing approximately 1 ton. Each figure has a metal plate covering its mouth, rep- resenting the importance of freedom of expression. “The Port of San Diego is extremely
honored to host the temporary install- ment of ‘Our Silences’ on the tidelands,” said Chairman Malcolm. “This artwork will draw residents and visitors to the water- front to enjoy a world-class public art experience and to discover the many wonderful amenities and attractions along San Diego Bay.” The artwork has been exhibited in 14
countries, including Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom and Mexico. This is the first time it has been exhibited in the United States. “Our Silences” will be on display at
wetlands. The goal, says Coastkeeper, is to show-
case how San Diego’s undeveloped coastal areas play a critical role in protect- ing existing infrastructure, especially given the king tides will eventually be the new normal.
“San Diego’s remaining wetlands play a
vital role in keeping this week’s king tides at bay,” said Travis Pritchard, program manager for Coastkeeper. “And this also gives us a crucial look at how future development in the region should protect them and also plan more sustainably for sea-level rise.” Key wetlands in San Diego County to
observe rising tides are Tijuana River Valley; San Diego Bay Wildlife Refuge Complex; San Diego Bay Wildlife Refuge; Paradise Point; San Diego River Estuary; Famosa Slough; Kendall-Frost Marsh; Los Penasquitos Lagoon; San Dieguito Lagoon; San Elijo Lagoon; Batiquitos Lagoon; and San Luis Rey Estuary.
