Tel Aviv, Israel and Woodbury, New York., Sept. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR) and Israel-based material science company Gauzy Ltd. announced today that Gauzy has lead a group that has invested $2 million in SPD-SmartGlass technology company Research Frontiers. The investors purchased 2,173,916 shares of common stock of Research Frontiers at a price of $0.92 per share (the market price for Research Frontiers common stock at the time the transaction was entered into) and also received warrants expiring September 30, 2023 to purchase 1,086,957 shares of Research Frontiers common stock at an exercise price of $1.10, $1.20 or $1.38 per share depending upon the exercise date.

The shares purchased by Gauzy are subject to at least a one-year lock-up period with incentives including certain standstill and other exclusive rights, with the further possibility of up to a five year lock-up period. The shares issued to the other investors in the group are not subject to a similar lock-up and will be covered by the company’s existing registration statement on Form S-3.

Gauzy also has the ability to purchase up to $1 million worth of additional common stock from Research Frontiers at market prices at the time of purchase (at a minimum price of $0.92 per share and a maximum of 150% of that price), and will also receive one warrant for every two shares purchased.

Gauzy Ltd. is a licensee of Research Frontiers, the inventor of patented SPD-SmartGlass technology. They are licensed to develop and manufacture SPD-Smart light control emulsion and film, as well as making SPD-Smart end products.

Eyal Peso, Founder and CEO of Gauzy, noted: “Our business has been rapidly growing, and SPD-SmartGlass film technology and our relationship with Research Frontiers is an important part of our expansion strategy. We have been working with Research Frontiers closely and see great opportunities and synergies between our companies. This investment will help increase and accelerate our collaboration together, and allow us to bring the best-performing and most innovative technologies to our customers worldwide.”

Joseph M. Harary, President of Research Frontiers noted: “This is a substantial investment for Gauzy, and is in addition to their already substantial internal investment in people and equipment relating to SPD-Smart light control technology. It is also the first time in our company’s history that we have accepted an investment by one of our licensees. As a material science company, Gauzy is particularly strong and focused in the architectural smart glass industry, and the automotive industry with many companies, and even has established a facility in Stuttgart Germany to better service these customers. Research Frontiers’ SPD technology is particularly strong in transportation industry applications, such as smart windows and sunroofs for cars, trains, aircraft and boats. Gauzy employs over 65 people and over the past twenty one months, we have worked closely with the talented and highly professional team at Gauzy, and welcome the energy, experience, creative innovation and results-based culture that they bring to benefit the entire SPD-SmartGlass industry and its customers.”

The smart window market is an established market with broad coverage worldwide. Research Frontiers has licensed over 40 chemical, film, and glass companies which are selling products for the automotive, aircraft, marine, train, museum, and consumer electronics industries. Gauzy’s established and growing network of over 55 glass fabricators worldwide brings additional synergies, infrastructure, and growth opportunities to the smart glass industry.

Research Frontiers patented SPD-SmartGlass technology is the same best-selling smart window technology that can be found on various car models from Daimler. The MAGIC SKY CONTROL feature, which is now in use on tens of thousands of Mercedes-Benz SLs, SLC/SLKs, Maybach and S-Class models around the world, uses patented SPD-SmartGlass technology developed by Research Frontiers to turn the roof transparent by electrically aligning tiny particles in a thin film within the glass. With the touch of a button, drivers and passengers can instantly change the tint of their roof to help keep out harsh sunlight and heat, and create an open-air feeling even when the sunroof is closed. Glass or plastic using Research Frontiers’ patented SPD-SmartGlass technology effectively blocks UV and infrared rays in both clear and darkly tinted modes, helping keep the cabin cooler, and protecting passengers and interiors while also enhancing security inside the vehicle. These benefits become even more important when a car uses large surface areas of glass, especially in warm climates.

Some of the other benefits of SPD-SmartGlass include significant heat reduction inside the vehicle (by up to 18ºF/10ºC), UV protection, glare control, reduced noise and reduced fuel consumption. Independent calculations also show that use of SPD-SmartGlass can reduce CO2 emissions by four grams per kilometer, and increase the driving range of electric vehicles by approximately 5.5 percent.

Shortly after its introduction into serial production in the automotive industry, SPD-SmartGlass has become standard equipment on many different aircraft, and is also used in residential and commercial architectural applications, in trains, yachts and other marine vehicles, in display applications, and to protect light-sensitive artwork and documents in major museums around the world.

Along with a best of breed R&D team, Gauzy also has an on-site production line with custom machinery for high quality products with on time delivery. Gauzy’s technology is featured in notable projects worldwide, including automotive collaborations with leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, hotels, corporate offices, luxury residences, retail chains and consumer electronics.

The giant garbage vortex in the Pacific Ocean is over twice the size of Texas — here's what it looks like

The giant garbage vortex in the Pacific Ocean is over twice the size of Texas — here's what it looks like· *The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive area measuring more than 1.6 million square kilometers, but it's just part of the North Pacific Gyre, an ocean region where currents collect plastic.*
· *Researchers from the Ocean Cleanup foundation conducted a survey of plastic in the area, using planes to observe from the sky and boats to trawl the water.*
· *They found that the amount of plastic there seemed to be increasing exponentially and that there could be 16 times as much as previously thought.*

--------------------

There's far too much plastic in the world's oceans, and the problem continues to build up.

Every little bit of plastic that gets tossed into the ocean or swept downstream out to sea either sinks or is picked up by currents. Much of it is eventually carried into one of five massive ocean regions, where plastic can be so concentrated that areas have garnered names like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

On Saturday, the Ocean Cleanup Foundation plans to deploy a massive plastic-collecting array with the hope that it can remove plastic debris from this part of the ocean. Some ocean researchers who study plastic pollution have questioned the plan, saying it may not be able to effectively remove enough plastic to be worth the cost and that it may harm marine life. But until it's out in the water, we won't know how much of an impact it'll have. If they deem it successful, the foundation hopes to launch a whole fleet of similar devices.

While "garbage patch" might make you think of something you pass by on the side of the road, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the North Pacific Ocean is less like a patch and more like a massive swirling vortex more than three times the size of Spain and more than twice the size of Turkey or Texas.

And it's growing and collecting more plastic rapidly, according to a study published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports by researchers associated with the Ocean Cleanup Foundation.

There may be more than 16 times as much plastic in the vortex than previous studies have estimated, according to the researchers behind the study.

An aerial view of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch might at first appear to be open water. But inside there's debris from all over the world — debris that traps or is eaten by marine animals, filling up their bodies to the point of being fatal and tainting our food supply.

More than 320 million metric tons of plastic are produced every year — and a disturbing amount ends up in the ocean, with much of it accumulating in places like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

-Much of the Ocean Cleanup foundation's data on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from a 2015 expedition involving 18 vessels.-

The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch organization started by a young entrepreneur named Boyan Slat, wants to launch a somewhat controversial effort to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and has conducted research about the scale of the problem.-The ships trawled the waters using manta trawl nets outfitted with mesh to catch as much plastic as possible.--The area they focused on is a particularly concentrated part of one of the five global gyres where ocean currents collect plastic from around the world.-

A 24-year-old is going ahead with a controversial plan to trap plastic floating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Some experts are worried.· *There's a mind-boggling amount of trash in the world's oceans, with much of it collected in five regions known as gyres.*
· *On September 8, a group called The Ocean Cleanup plans to deploy a plastic-cleanup system to the largest of those gyres, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.*

· *Several experts argue that the cleanup system won't work and will do more harm than good.*
· *The best solution might be stopping plastic before it gets into the water. *

--------------------

On September 8, a massive and controversial plastic-cleanup system will be launched into the Pacific Ocean.

The goal of the system — created by The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, a 24-year-old Dutch innovator — is to remove plastic debris from the now-famous marine area known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Located in the North Pacific Ocean, it's actually less of a patch and more like a swirling vortex more than three times the size of Spain and more than twice the size of Turkey or Texas.

By 2050, the amount of plastic in the oceans is expected to outweigh all the fish there. That garbage kills marine life, destroys ecosystems that people depend on to live, and even makes its way into the food supply, causing fish to absorb chemicals that contaminate the seafood we eat.

But while dealing with plastic pollution is urgent, several experts say that The Ocean Cleanup's plans are unlikely to be effective and could cause more harm than benefit.

Last year, Slat told Business Insider that he believed the project's cleanup arrays, once fully deployed, would allow the group to "clean up 50% of the patch in five years."

The system will eventually consist of at least 60 arrays, and the group is inviting corporations and private groups to sponsor their own arrays as well.

"Our goal is to have a full-scale operation running by 2020," an Ocean Cleanup representative said via email.

*The Ocean Cleanup's ambitious, shifting solution*

A survey of 15 experts in ocean plastic pollution by the shark researcher David Shiffman found that it is unlikely that massive floating devices could clean up a significant amount of plastic without harming marine life or adding more garbage to the situation.

Most of those experts had concerns about The Ocean Cleanup's project.

Over the years, The Ocean Cleanup's plans have changed dramatically. Slat's original concept involved mooring a massive plastic-collecting trap to the seabed almost 3 miles below — something many scientists said was unlikely to be possible. One massive multi-mile trap evolved to become a series of smaller, long, U-shaped floating arrays. These were designed with underwater anchors that would allow them to move slowly through the water, so faster-moving plastic would run into the arrays and get trapped by underwater screens.

The organization now says it has realized the underwater anchors won't be stable, so the new array features a different design: A nearly 2,000-foot-long U-shaped boom will float atop the water unanchored, with a 10-foot screen to trap plastic below.

This should allow the system to more effectively trap plastic so that boats can pick it up every few months and take it to shore for recycling, according to The Ocean Cleanup.

But since the design has changed several times, it's hard to know how well the latest system will aggregate plastic once it is fully operational.

"As with any novel technology, success is not guaranteed, but this is exactly why we test, test, and test again. Until the final risks and uncertainties have been mitigated, System 001 is still labeled a 'beta system,'" a representative for the group told Business Insider. The design could continue to change in the future as well.

*A serious plastic problem in the ocean*

No matter how you measure it, there's a mind-boggling amount of plastic in the world's oceans.

More than 320 million metric tons of plastic are produced every year. Every little bit of plastic that gets tossed into the ocean or swept downstream out to sea either sinks or is picked up by currents. Much of it is eventually carried into one of five massive ocean regions called gyres. Enough plastic converges in these regions that many refer to them as "garbage patches."

The area targeted by The Ocean Cleanup is often referred to as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — it's the best-known of these patches and is often referred to as the largest gyre, though the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says there's no reliable measurement of the size of any of these regions.

The Ocean Cleanup researchers have estimated that there are at least 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in the water, weighing 79,000 metric tons. According to their research, 1.7 trillion pieces are tiny microplastics, but more than 90% of the overall plastic mass comes from larger pieces of plastic — frequently from lost fishing nets — that has yet to break down into smaller pieces.

New plastic debris is constantly streaming into the oceans from coastlines, with much of it eventually arriving at one of these five gyres. Along the way, plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces. The Ocean Cleanup's team is mainly focused on larger pieces of plastic near the surface.

"The plastic that reaches the patch all the way from land is of certain density and buoyancy," the representative said. "This plastic is floating within the top few meters of the water column, as found in our vertical distribution research."

Some researchers who have studied the problem say most of the plastic in the region is already broken down and found deeper underwater. That would make cleaning the plastic out of the water a far more complex task, if it's possible at all.

"To make the claim, as The Ocean Cleanup Project is, that they will 'clean the oceans' by 2040 or whenever is disingenuous and misleading, when it will, at best, clean a very small percentage of what's found on the surface," Eben Schwartz, the marine-debris program manager at the California Coastal Commission, told Shiffman.

*
*

*Major questions about safety*

Some researchers also worry that a large floating system will aggregate marine life, which may feed off the plastic and get trapped in the debris.

The Ocean Cleanup says that it has designed the system to move slowly, giving creatures time to swim away, and that since the screen is impenetrable, it can't trap creatures like a net could. The current should flow under the screen, carrying drifting organisms below it.

Plastic will be removed periodically, and people will always check for marine life before doing so, according to the organization.

The nonprofit recently conducted and released an Environmental Impact Assessment, concluding that the system posed mostly low risks of environmental harms (with a medium risk of sea turtles feeding on collected plastic).

But all the researchers Shiffman spoke with said the system would either probably or definitely kill marine life.

Whether the system will even be able to effectively trap plastic at the ocean's surface is still an open question, Kim Martini, an oceanographer, recently told the Canadian Broadcasting Company. It's likely that once things start to grow on the structures, they could be weighed down enough that plastic just flows over them, she said.

It's possible that storms or waves could eventually turn the arrays into debris, though The Ocean Cleanup says it has designed them to withstand large weather systems.

Even if The Ocean Cleanup can capture some amount of plastic, recycling it will still be a problem. Unlike with glass and aluminum, plastic recycling doesn't work well in the first place. Plastics break down into more degraded, lower-quality materials over time and may not be able to be recycled at all. Materials that have been degraded by ocean water and sunlight are even less likely to be turned into anything useful.

The group said samples collected on past expeditions were still recyclable and of "surprisingly good quality." It is still investigating recycling methods to figure out the best way to use the plastic.

*Solving the plastic problem*

By questioning whether The Ocean Cleanup's system can effectively remove a significant amount of plastic from the ocean, critics aren't saying that dealing with plastic pollution is hopeless — they're arguing for more effective solutions.

Most of these solutions involve stopping plastic from making its way out to sea.

Martini has argued that the group's arrays should be placed off the shores where most plastic enters the ocean.

The Ocean Cleanup says its goal is to focus on the gyres for now since there's already plastic there that "must be removed to prevent it from photodegrading and breaking down into microplastics, making it harder to remove and making it easier to mistake for food by sealife."

But the group does acknowledge that without stopping the flow of plastics from the shore, there's no way to keep the gyres plastic-free. "It would be nothing short of disheartening if we had to go back out to clean up again after a few years," the representative said. The Ocean Cleanup says it is considering other cleaning systems closer to shore in the future.

Other groups are also attempting to collect plastic before it goes out to sea. The Ocean Conservancy has collected more than 200 million pounds of trash from beaches, and Baltimore has a trash-collecting water wheel that has trapped more than 1.8 million pounds of trash in the Inner Harbor since May 2014.

As Rick Stafford, a professor of marine biology and conservation, wrote for The Conversation, local governments could incentivize proper disposal of plastic and eventually phase out disposable single-use plastics overall.

Eliminating single-use plastic waste would be a massive transformation for society — think of how many wrappers you tear off food products every day. But creating products meant to be used only once means that much of that waste is getting piled up somewhere. Since it's hard to effectively recycle plastic in the first place, much of that waste eventually makes it out to sea.

If we really want to stop that, the best way is probably to cut it off at the source and reduce our use of plastic overall.

KEMP, Texas, Sept. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leader in industrial lighting, Larson Electronics LLC, has announced the release of an explosion proof motion sensor approved for Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, and Class III locations. This motion sensor has adjustable sensitivity and time delay after motion, able to power lights and other equipment in hazardous areas.The EXP-MS-N4X-AT-HV-V2 is an explosion proof motion sensor from Larson Electronics that provides up to 52.4 feet by 49.2 feet of coverage with a maximum distance of detection of 98.4 feet. This sensor features cutting-edge microwave sensors, which are known for high performance in unstable climates. The sensors send out waves, which are reflected by surrounding walls and objects. These sensors are not affected by line of sight which provides a wider and more accurate coverage of the area. These sensors can penetrate any non-metallic object including glass and plastic.

This explosion proof unit features disable and sensor modes. For motion detection, the sensor can detect movement at a rate of 0.5~3m/s. When connected to a fixture, the sensor keeps the lamp off when sufficient ambient light is in the area. At night, when the sensor detects insufficient ambient light in the environment, the device engages the fixture to turn on when motion is detected. During operation, the sensor adheres to the configured hold time when motion is detected.

The EXP-MS-N4X-AT-HV-V2 is constructed of non-sparking aluminum and has a glass window where motion is detected through. The unit is wall-mounted via an integral mounting bracket that can be vertically adjusted after installment, allowing users to pinpoint the exact target area they wish the device to detect motion in.

This explosion proof motion sensor is rated for Class I, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups B, C, D, Class I, Zones 1 & 2, Groups IIB+H2, IIA, Class II, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups E, F, G, Class III, Divisions 1 & 2, features IP66 rated and NEMA rated 3, 4, 4X, 7 (B, C, D) and 9 (E, F, G). The unit operates on 120V, 220V-240V, or 277V AC electrical circuits.

“This motion sensor is perfect for turning on lights in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and other flammable worksites because of the high-tech microwave sensors,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “Microwave sensors are known for being extremely reliable in unpredictable conditions, which you would find in an explosion proof industrial environment. They provide more accurate coverage and detect objects, instead of only heat and light like traditional infrared motion sensors do.”

*About Larson Electronics LLC: *Larson Electronics LLC is a manufacturer of industrial lighting equipment and accessories. The company offers an extensive catalog of industry-grade lighting and power distribution products for the following sectors: manufacturing, construction, food processing, oil and gas, military, marine and automobile.

The Truth-o-Meter says: Half-True | New attack ad twists McGrath stance on welfare work requirementsHannah Thornton, a single mom, sits in her kitchen and praises the GOP tax plan in a new ad running in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District. As the screen cuts to a sepia-toned image of the U.S. Capitol building, Hannah says, "I don’t understand why Amy McGrath ... wants to fund more welfare for people who can work, but don’t." Amy McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot, is the Democratic candidate running against incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr in what is expected to be a November toss-up race. The two have sparred on the role that welfare, and specifically ...

I drove a $130,000 BMW M5 and had my life completely transformed by speed and power

I drove a $130,000 BMW M5 and had my life completely transformed by speed and power· *The 2018 BMW M5 is the latest V8-powered beast to emerge from the horsepower addicts of Bavaria.*
· *We spent a week putting the BMW M5 through its savage paces — and it scared us. A lot!*
· *The M5 is a mighty monster of a machine that provides a four-door alternative to some supercars.*

--------------------

Let's face it, people like to hate on BMW. 

This is depressing because for decades, the Bavarian motoring giant has proven again and again that the whole "ultimate driving machine" thing was utterly, totally, completely legit. BMWs are unquestionably among the most thrilling cars a human can drive and have been for ages. 

Blame the yuppified 1980s, when BMWs became status-mobiles. Then throw in some aggressive leasing deals that meant every new Hollywood agent or junior law partner could slip into a 3-Series.

Thankfully, BMW's M Sport performance division doesn't care about young agents or tyro lawyers and continues to focus on taking cars such as the 2018 5-Series, a perfectly brilliant luxury sedan, and turning them into terrifying beast-machines designed to alter the movement of entire planets.

You think that's an overstatement. OK, fine, but you didn't just spend a week driving around in a 2018 BMW M5.

What is this car like? Remember that scene in "Avengers: Infinity War" when Thor arrived in Wakanda via bifrost express and slung his hefty new hammer, Stormbreaker, to devastating effect? BOOM! 

The M5 is about 1,000 times more exciting than that. And you can have the same one I did in your driveway for $130,000. 

Yep, that ain't cheap. But considered in terms of a cost-to-motoring-nirvana ratio, it's a magnificent bargain. Plus, you don't have to unleash hell with the M5 every time you start it up. The car can be dialed back to relative calm — calm enough, sort of, for daily commuting. True, you'll be buying a lot of premium fuel; the M5 gets 15 mpg city/21 highway/17 combined, adding a $1,000 gas-guzzler tax to the sticker price. But pleasure such as this car delivers cannot be entirely quantified.

Let me go into greater detail about why the 2018 M5 is basically the baddest four-door in our realm:

-The 2018 M5! Our test car came in a Marine Bay Blue Metallic paint job and benefitted from a $4,000 Executive Package, including rear sunshades, wireless-device charging, and a WiFi hotspot.--We checked out the un-M'd 5-Series last year. The 5-Series in now in its seventh generation.-

Read the review »-BMW's M cars always up the burliness factor, design-wise. The normal 5-Series looks stately and executive, while the M5 looks bold and aggressive.-

SAINT MICHAEL, Barbados, Sept. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Royalton Luxury Resorts announces its adoption of two new waste-reduction initiatives to strengthen its commitment to environmental sustainability. Effective October 1, 2018, all Royalton Resorts, Hideaway at Royalton and CHIC by Royalton hotels will have phased out single-use straws and significantly reduced plastic bottle waste with the roll out of a new eco-friendly water filtration system across bar and restaurant facilities in partnership with Vero Water^®.The effects of plastic on marine life are devastating and every year millions of straws end up in our oceans. This new initiative will reduce the negative impact on marine life by eliminating tens of thousands single-use plastics, including straws and plastic stirrers from entering the ocean. Guests staying at Royalton Resorts will be encouraged to support this cause by using eco-friendly alternatives.

In partnership with OneLink Global, an organization that provides efficient, reliable, sustainable, and eco-friendly solutions, Royalton Luxury Resorts has incorporated the innovative Vero Water^® technology into the total guest experience at resort bars and restaurants. The Vero Water^® purification system removes impurities, chemicals, and imperfections in water while leaving a clean signature taste every time, regardless of the destination. At the end of purification, the water is perfectly chilled and delivered still or sparkling to a signature, reusable 1-liter glass bottle in a matter of seconds, eliminating an estimated 2,149,844 plastic water bottles. OneLink Global has also introduced sustainable industrial cleaning practices to various Royalton Resorts, combining ecologically green technology with an award-winning Green Chemical Program.

“We operate in some of the World’s most picturesque locations and are proud of our continued investment to keep them this way,” said Mauricio Zarate, Corporate Director, and Operations.  These new implementations are an exciting addition to Royalton Resorts’ sustainability program, which includes: recycling programs, solar energy utilization, dedicated on-site composting area, donations of surplus food peels to local farmers, light bulb updates to energy-saving LED lights, reduction of paper consumption, energy use reduction plans, and towel re-use programs in guest rooms.

The entire length of the coast of Fort Bragg, CA is finally open to the public for the first time in more than 100 years. The central section of the five-mile Noyo Headlands Park and Ka Kahleh Coastal Trail, finished this summer, joins two sections of the trail completed over the past three years, from Glass Beach in the north to the Noyo River in the south.

FORT BRAGG, Calif. (PRWEB) September 07, 2018

The entire length of the coast of Fort Bragg, CA is finally open to the public for the first time in more than 100 years. The central section of the five-mile Noyo Headlands Park and Ka Kahleh Coastal Trail, finished this summer, joins two sections of the trail completed over the past three years, from Glass Beach in the north to the Noyo River in the south. The multi-use area includes 8-foot wide ADA-accessible paved trails, beautiful ocean views, and handmade redwood benches crafted by local artists. On the northern end of the trail, a parking lot with a public restroom is located at the west end of Elm Street adjacent to Glass Beach. The trail leading south from Glass Beach extends along carefully restored coastal bluffs, allowing visitors to experience an awe-inspiring stretch of coastline—part of the California Coastal National Monument—that was hidden behind a chain link fence for the past century. Harbor seals, sea lions, and a wide variety of seabirds and wildlife enjoy the diversity of habitats provided by the ocean and rocks, with beautifully illustrated interpretive panels all along the trail to enrich the hiking experience.

Otsuchi Point Commemorates Fort Bragg's Sister City

Highlights along the trail include the magnificent Otsuchi Point, a promontory named for Fort Bragg's sister city in Japan, Otsuchi, which was decimated by an earthquake and Tsunami in 2011. Otsuchi Point is the site of a beautiful compass rose and a handmade bench that commemorates the sister city relationship between the two communities. One side honors Fort Bragg's iconic Pudding Creek Trestle and the other Otsuchi's Tori Gate.

Fort Bragg Landing, The Crow's Nest, and Noyo Harbor

The newest mile of trail at Fort Bragg Landing connects the north and south trail around the Georgia Pacific mill pond, with stairs to the beach. On the southern portion of the trail, The Crow's Nest Interpretive Center, a branch of the Noyo Center for Marine Science, offers exhibits focusing on marine and environmental education, including projects like the Help the Kelp Initiative.There is an off-leash dog park, with viewpoints including Johnson Rock, the Noyo Headlands Preserve, Skip's Punch Bowl, Noyo Bay, Frontier Cemetery, and Noyo Harbor. Parking and trail access on the south end of the trail is at Cypress Street, north of Noyo Harbor on Shoreline Highway (Highway 1). Midpoint trail access will soon be available from the center of town at Alder Street. Bikes, strollers, roller blades, hikers, runners, and dogs on a leash are welcome on the trail, which connects on its north end to MacKerricher State Park and on its south end to the Noyo Harbor and Pomo Bluffs Park.

The Coastal Trail Collaboration

The Fort Bragg Coastal Trail has come into being as a collaborative effort of the California Coastal Conservancy, the California Coastal Commission, the Mendocino Land Trust, the Mendocino Coast Recreation and Parks District, Caltrans and the volunteer organization Coastwalk, with support from Noyo Center for Marine Science, the City of Fort Bragg, and other organizations. The vision for the California Coastal Trail is to build a continuous interconnected public trail system along the California coastline as close to the ocean as possible. Fort Bragg Coastal Trail joins this state initiative, which now includes nearly 50% of California’s 1100 miles of coastline in developed trails. Reported by PRWeb 1 day ago.
