Topic: Algodones


In the News (Sun 27 May 12)

  
  Rare and endangered plants of the Algodones Dunes
The name “Algodones” derives from Spanish and English corruptions of the name of the Yuman tribe that once dwelt on both sides of the Colorado River in the vicinity of the nearby delta and the dunes.
The Algodones are believed to be among the oldest California dunes, possibly dating back to the latter part of the Pleistocene epoch 10 to 20 thousand years ago.
In the United States, the plant is known only from the Algodones Dunes, and in nearby Mexico from a limited area of dunes within the southern Gran Desierto, in the northwestern portion of the state of Sonora.

The name is taken from Spanish and English manipulations of the name of the Quechan (Yuman) Indian tribe that historically dwelt, and still does in limited numbers, on both sides of the Colorado River in the area of the nearby dunes and delta.
The Algodones are an active dune system that harbors many rare, threatened, and endemic species such as the Peirson’s Milkvetch, Sand Food, Algodones Dunes Sunflower, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard, Andrews Dune Scarab Beetle, Colorado Desert Fringe-toed Lizard and at least 9 endemic beetles.

 Algodones Dunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Algodones Dunes are located southeast of the Salton Sea in southern California at the border with Arizona and Baja California del Norte, Mexico.
The dunefield is a wilderness area, with the only significant human structures being the All-American Canal that cuts across the southern portion from west to east and the Coachella Canal on the eastern border of the dunefield.
The name "Algodones Dunes" refers to the entire geographic feature, while the administrative designation for that portion managed by the Bureau of Land Management [1] is the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (also sometimes called the Glamis Dunes).

 In Algodones, prostitution occurs on smaller scale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
LOS ALGODONES, Baja Calif. — As the commercial sex industry has blossomed in San Luis Rio Colorado, Son., the opposite is true here.
Now there's a fraction of the cantinas that there once were in Algodones, he says, but the demand for sex persists.
Though the growth of strip clubs and cantinas in San Luis have been fueled by American tourists, it was an increase in American tourists in Algodones that prompted the town to close many of the cantinas where prostitution occurred, according to Gonzalez.

 The Algodones Dunes, southeast California
There are few roads and very little settlement, but one substance that is abundant is sand, which collects in the wide valleys between isolated mountain ranges and blows around in the strong, prevailing westerly winds.
The largest accumulation is an area of 8 by 40 miles called the Algodones Dunes, a vast pile of pure, golden sand, center of which has absolutely no vegetation and presents a stark, elemental scene of just two components - cloudless blue sky above and unbroken sandy mounds beneath.
Roads to the Algodones Dunes: For a closer view, take S34 north at exit 166 then turn left at Ogilby along the unpaved, dead straight Ted Kiph Road which runs close to the eastern foothills.

 Algodones Dunes monitoring studies, BLM California
Because the abundance class approach used in the 1998-2002 monitoring did not result in actual estimates of density and population size, that approach was ended with the 2002 monitoring.
In spring 2003 a pilot monitoring program was initiated to estimate the density and population size of Peirson’s milk-vetch, Algodones Dunes sunflower, and sand food in the Wilderness and Gecko management areas of the Algodones Dunes.
Density and population size were estimated for Peirson’s milk-vetch, Algodones Dunes sunflower, and sand food for each management area and the Dunes as a whole.

 Carroll Canyon Business Park Alert, San Diego Chapter, Sierra Club
Protection in the North Algodones Wilderness is not enough to protect the diverse habitat types represented dunes-wide.
No vehicles should be allowed in the old "South Algodones Dunes Wilderness Study Area." The BLM's first mistake was its decision in 1980 to leave this Wilderness Study Area open to off-roading, despite the clear mandate of the Federal Land Policy and Mangement Act to avoid impairment of wilderness values in WSAs.
Whether this goal is achieved through limiting the number of people who visit the dunes, or accommodating all of them in the remaining open areas, the goal should be to make law enforcement at the dunes self-sustaining.
