A plan in place to remove a dam for safety reasons near a North Bay beach has raised questions about the impact the removal could have on an endangered frog.
The National Parks Service is proposing to remove a small earthen dam in the Tennessee Valley coastal watershed to eliminate a safety hazard to visitors at the beach downstream of the dam.
But the National Parks Service says there are safety issues with flooding and even the possibility of a breach. Taking down the dam will impact the federally threatened California red-legged frog, made famous in a short story by Mark Twain. The frog has made a comeback. Egg masses will be scooped and transferred to smaller ponds to be built nearby as part of the project. However, there is pushback to the plan.
But Thomas and the Marin Conservation League believe removing the dam will be a win for the frogs, and the right path in continuing to restore the valley as the frog's natural habitat.
