Clapper Rail Along the Entire Length of Proposed Monster Sports Complex
Oct. 21, 2006. Federally endangered California clapper rail filmed along entire length of Shekou proposed soccer complex
Video, shot by John Parulis of brightpathvideo.com, on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2006 clearly shows a California clapper rail feeding and plying the shoreline directly in front of the area set aside as a giant indoor soccer complex. The clapper rail is on the federal endangered species list. Recently, one of the developers, Andrew Rawley, refered to the lengthy enivironmental review preocess for this complex, as a "bump in the road". There are a considerable number of people living near Gallinas Creek who think saving an endangered species and its habitat is much more than a "bump in the road". It is a national and a sacred duty. Some research biologists fear the complex would negatively impact the rails' habitat, in this, the largest concentration of clapper rails in the San Francisco Bay region.
