You might know that dragons are symbolically/traditionally the gatekeeper of the environment. Here's the Ugly dragon with lettering designed by one of the first surf artists in the industry, Terry Lamb. I constructed the lines and colors.

I'm sharing this insightful article on my great friend Mark with you because you, my friends here, might want to know a little bit more about who he was and what he did for all of us.

Abramson was instrumental in the cleanup and restoration of the Malibu Creek watershed, the preservation of Ahmanson Ranch, and other efforts.

Sadly, my best friend and business associate, Mark Abramson, passed away last night, according to his brother Jeff. He leaves behind his wife, Margo, and an enormous family and friends, many of whom worked with him.

He was a true environmentalist and called himself a waterman. Urban EcoScapes was his most recent business venture, in which he mainly provided environmental restoration services. He was also the vice president and treasurer of the nonprofit EcoMalibu.

Working in stream and wetland restoration for 15 years, he created the highly successful Malibu Creek Watershed Stream Team program for Heal the Bay. He was the Stream Team’s Captain for the first ten years before joining the Santa Monica Baykeeper in 2007 and becoming their Director of Watershed Programs. While employed by the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation, he managed the Malibu Lagoon restoration project for the Santa Monica Bay Commission, the State Coastal Conservancy, and State Parks. He is also engaged in stream restoration on Stone Creek at the UCLA campus and Arroyo Sequit Creek.

As recognition for his great work and many accomplishments, the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) in Washington, DC, honored Mark Abramson on May 8, 2014, with the prestigious National Wetland Award for his conservation and restoration efforts in Los Angeles County.
