Find a solution storyboard:
1) Overview of Pacheco Pond. Get footage so that the audience is familiar with the area.
2) Introduce problem #1: Not a lot of water (show footage) Lack of fish/fishing (voice over)
3) Show footage/pictures of non-native plants. (Such as yellow star thistle, medusa head, perennial pepper weed, Italian thistle, purple star thistle, and gorse.)
4) Introduce problem #2: Show current signage. Voice over: need more signage encouraging people to keep their dogs on leashes.
5) More footage of Pacheco Pond, and of the area around it.
6) Introduce problem #3: People need to stay on the trail, talk about possible solutions such as signs and barriers.
7) Show footage of area and invasive species and plants.
8) Conclusion: express the need to fix the problems. Talk about how simple, yet effective the solutions are.

Script:
Voice over #1: Due to over fishing and lack of rainfall, the number of fish are declining in Pacheco Pond. Even though humans can't control the rainfall, humans can stop fishing. The solution is pretty simple, all you have to do is put signs encouraging not the fish. (http://www.cemar.org/pdf/marin.pdf, page 12)
Voice over #2: Dogs also contribute to the harm done to Pacheco Pond. Dogs aren't allowed to go into the pond, and are supposed to be leashed at all times while on the waterfall trail. If more signs were to be put up around the pond encouraging people to keep their dog on a leash, the animals in the ecosystem would be able to thrive.
Voice over #3: Hikers and Mountain Bikers often go off of the trail. If there were a barrier by the main trail, it would force people to stay on the trail.
Voice over #4: All 3 solutions are very simple, yet they are very effective. We want to reduce the negative human impact, and these solutions are a small step towards accomplishing that goal.
