Local Challenges and Possibilities in the South Coast Bioregion
In this short paper I address the main environmental concerns in the South Coast Bioregion. Drought, wildfires, air pollution, and oil spills pose major threats to the South Coast Bioregion’s biodiversity. By reflecting on the statics presented in this paper, I call for a change to be made which will transition the South Coast bioregion to be more sustainable and a healthier region.
Southern california climate resilience
The U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit has determined 5 key steps to climate resilience. These steps include: (1) identifying possible threats and exposure, (2) analyzes risk and vulnerabilities, (3) proposes possible solutions, (4) analyzing the capacity and plan to implement the potential solutions, and lastly (5) to take action. I relate these steps back to climate impacts and cases in the South Coast Bioregion.

This short paper address the history and threats that the Eastern Pacific Green Sea Turtle (C. Mydas) has faced and continues to face. I specifically focus on the population in Southern California and call on specific stakeholders to take action on possible solutions that will protect C.mydas and their habitat.
Eastern Pacific Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia Mydas)
Throughout my conservation biology course, I spent the entirety of the course studying the Chelonia mydas Southern California population. This paper looks over all my research and analyzes studies that have already been conducted and concerns we should be aware of moving forward. If you have 2 minutes to spare, skip to the “Individual Impact and Next Steps” section to find out how you can directly save the sea turtle population.
