Episode Details

Alameda’s hidden hero? The California least tern, a tiny, endangered seabird making a stunning comeback at Alameda Point—with a 43% nest surge to 797 this year. Once down to just 225 pairs statewide, these pint-sized birds (weighing just over an ounce) are thriving thanks to smart conservation: donated oyster shells provide shade, camouflage, and protection from predators. A sanctuary born from naval history, this success story proves that targeted efforts can turn the tide for species on the brink.
