The Friends of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve acknowledges that the Reserve is located on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone Peoples. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from the beauty and diversity of this land and seashore. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors and relatives of the Ramaytush community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples to govern their communities and preserve their cultures. Finally, we seek to honor the Ramaytush community’s sacred relationship with ocean and marine ecosystems by educating the Reserve’s visitors and protecting the Reserve for future generations.
