November 14, 2025 Interview with Tom Ginsburg: 3720 Capitola Road Project; Interview with Nina Beety: MBARI's harmful sonar mapping project

from Community Matters · host communitymatters

Hour One: Interview with Capitola Resident Tom Ginsburg: how the Bulb Ave. neighborhood has come together to present reasonable, fact-based discussions to the Capitola City Council as large, dense development projects are proposed (philosophy of BRIMBY...Be Respectful In My BackYard).  The Capitola City Council's actions were responsive.   Hour Two: Interview with Nina Beety, local Resident and Researcher, discusses the harmful sonar geophysical mapping work in the Monterey Bay Canyon that MBARI continues to do in the name of science, using sound waves at 191db-221db but now increasing to 237db with the new David Packard research vessel.  The US Air Force has determined that inaudible sound is lethal at 150db.  Why is MBARI harming our marine life for the sake of mapping that could be done with other, non-harmful methods??? This work is permitted by the California State Lands Commission...please protest! https://www.slc.ca.gov/meetings/
