VIDEO. From Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) Director’s meeting on Thursday, August 15th, 2024 at 7:30pm, as a hybrid meeting.
Since 2009 the MWSD has been hosting High-Definition-Radar units used for Scientific Research at the office property. A system of similar radar units is installed around San Francisco Bay and the California Coastline. The radar units are monitoring ocean currents in real time and are helping to understand regional current patterns. The data is also used by the California Coastguard in search and rescue missions.
In 2015 the responsibility for the project was transferred from the Romberg Tiburon Center to the Bodega Marine Center. The current agreement allowing access to the MWSD property was extended in 2019 and is expiring in December 2024. The Bodega Marine Center requested a further extension of the
agreement.
