• Monarch counts Jan. 10-11: Pacific Grove down

    Erica Krygsman (Monarch Alert Field Coordinator for Monterey County) and Carly Voight (Xerces Society Butterfly Conservation Specialist) conducted this week’s Monterey County counts on Jan. 10 and 11. The average number of monarchs counted at the Pacific Grove Sanctuary was 10,270, a decrease from last week’s count. The number of monarchs counted at Andrew Molera State Park increased to 4,814 and at the private property site in Big Sur the number was similar at 6,488. Temperatures were cool to mild both days and winds were calm; there was flying and sunning activity at some sites.

    This is the Heal the Bay Beach Report Card for Monterey Peninsula beaches, which reports water quality grades, or when relevant, weather advisories. An A to F grade is assigned based on the health risks of swimming or surfing at that location. Look at the "dry" grade for all days except those "wet" days during and within 3 days after a rainstorm.
