Disturbing law enforcement search in #MontereyCounty #California hunts for 14 yr old juvenile #incest #SexAssault victim and her 38-year-old Mexican #immigrant father, Sergio Galvez Perez. The teen girl was apparently forced to give birth by the side of road in #MossLanding where her infant was left to die. The teen incest victim's mother Ofelia Garcia Ortega, 36, is being held behind bars on suspicion of child endangerment. The younger female has a warrant for #murder of her abandoned child.

Our other target was the Sunflower Star laboratory.

95% of California's kelp forests are gone. over a decade ago, starfish wasting disease wiped out the sunflower star, so sea urchin populations exploded, and they wiped out the kelp. So many other species depend on the kelp forests; it's been devestating. This Lab is one of several around the world finding out how to control the disease and maybe one day repopulate the star.

Yesterday had a quick stop in Moss Landing, where I was hoping to see a couple of things I've followed online for a long time. One being the Western Flyer, the newly rebuilt boat the Steinbeck and Doc Ricketts took to the Sea of Cortez. No one was around this day unfortunately.

I was a patreon supporter during the rebuild and feel like I know every plank in the boat. Cool to see her in person at least.

"The Vistra fire in Moss Landing caught everyone by surprise. What we can learn from it?” —David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyWeekly cover story

"On Feb. 13, 2022, a similar incident occurred at Vistra’s Moss 100 facility, and this time, both #Vistra facilities were taken offline.

"Meanwhile, PG&E’s 182.5-megawatt Elkhorn facility came online in April 2022. Unlike both Vistra facilities, the Elkhorn’s batteries were not in buildings – they were in an array of 256 Tesla Megapacks on 33 concrete slabs.

In the early morning of Sept. 20 of that year, just over five months later, a fire broke out in one of #Tesla Megapacks at the facility, prompting the closure of Highway 1 and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. Though the fire only burned for six hours, the orders remained in effect until just before 7pm due to the risk of toxic smoke inhalation.”
