...acres of ancient redwoods that will be off limits to all logging and protected as habitat for the threatened marbled murrelet. The company is also required to set aside an additional 11,000 acres in no-cut buffers next to streams critical to the survival of the endangered coho salmon. It is unfortunate that you characterized what we achieved as saving a few "scraps" of wildlife habitat.

Like the appetizers, entrees embrace the traditional and the atypical alike. Even the often prosaic burrito exceeds expectations, however, laced elegantly with chile sauce, stuffed with grilled salmon, whole black beans, and brown rice and served on a bed of shredded lettuce and salsa fresca ($10.95). Grilled catfish ($10.95) is crusted in cornmeal and rests on a bed of rice pilaf, accompanied by a salad whose dressing is vaguely reminiscent of peanut sauce. The dish holds together well as a lighter option that remains flavorful and coherent. Chile rellenos ($9.95) sound unusual as well, advertised as Anaheim and Poblano peppers...
Most beautiful and mysterious to me is the Vampyroteuthis infernalis, the vampire squid from hell. Its body is salmon colored, its eyes blue--no ordinary blue, but blue that defines the color, the first blue, the blue open eye of the sea. Once thought extinct, it can turn inside out, and hide in a cloak of itself. If one doubts the range of nature's imagination--or sense of humor--picture a Vampyroteuthis staring into a self-created darkness, 3,000 ft. below the surface, while nearer shore, an otter snacks...
...wildlife. Not to say that we didn't try. We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature." Her worry now is that people are altering the ocean. If you want to eat fish, grow them, she argues, offering support for the burgeoning aquaculture industry--in which such delicacies as salmon and trout are raised in aquatic pens--as long as the pens themselves do not despoil the coastline...
...rainmakers. And the other 4,000 acres paid for by the Deal, though they have some big trees, are too fragmented to be an effective wildlife habitat for murrelets, Pacific giant salamanders and the spotted owls that loggers love to hate. In particular, they offer little protection for coho salmon, listed as threatened in the state. Salmon need cool, shaded, clear streams for spawning. Aggressive, steep-slope logging cuts shade and pours down sediment. This is no secret, but the state has not enforced regulations to protect salmon streams, and the new Headwaters legislation, say critics, stipulates buffer zones...
