The region is made up of Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity Counties. Growers have been cultivating cannabis plants in this region since the 1960s (during San Francisco's Summer of Love). The industry exploded in the region with the passage of California Proposition 215 which legalized use of cannabis for medicinal purposes in California.[1] Growing cannabis in The Emerald Triangle is considered a way of life, and the locals believe that everyone living in this region is either directly or indirectly reliant on the marijuana business.[2] Environmental concernsThere is an environmental impact of outdoor cannabis production in the Emerald Triangle, which is largely unregulated. It can include illegal damming, diversion and taking of water from streams (especially during summer); and pesticide-laden runoff, all of which can degrade critical salmon fisheries.[3][4] Clearcutting and roadbuilding for the cannabis plantations can also lead to habitat degradation which also endangers salmon.[5] The activities often occur illegally on public land.[6][7] Surveillance lawsuitIn 1984, Humboldt County residents filed a federal lawsuit claiming they had been subject to illegal surveillance by U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft utilized by the multiagency Campaign Against Marijuana Planting.[8] PopulationThe total population in the Emerald Triangle is 236,250 according to the 2010 census.[9] The majority of the population is widely spread throughout the woody hills that make up the area. In this sparsely populated region, only the city of Eureka has an urban area approaching 50,000 people. The second and third largest cities, by far larger than any other cities in the region, are Arcata, with 17,231 people, and Ukiah, with 16,075 people.[2][10] With an area of 11,138 square miles, the Emerald Triangle population density is 21/mi2.
