The Carquinez Strait is a narrow tidal strait in northern California. It is part of the tidal estuary of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers as they drain into the San Francisco Bay. The strait connects Suisun Bay, which receives the waters of the combined rivers, with San Pablo Bay, a northern extension of the San Francisco Bay.
The strait is named after the Karkin ("los Carquines" in Spanish), a linguistic division of the Ohlone Native Americans who resided on both sides of the strait.
The strait forms part of the border between Solano (to the north) and Contra Costa (to the south) counties, and is approximately 15 mi (25 km) north of Oakland. The cities of Benicia and Vallejo lie on the north side of the strait, while Martinez, Port Costa, and Crockett sit on the southern coast. The Napa River joins the strait, via the short Mare Island Strait, near its entrance into San Pablo Bay.
Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline, part of the East Bay Regional Park District, comprises 1,415 acres of bluffs and shoreline along Carquinez Scenic Drive between the town of Crockett and the hillsides overlooking Martinez. This parkland provides a gateway to the river delta region along the northern edge of Contra Costa County. The coastal hills rise steeply up to 750 feet above Carquinez Strait. From the highest elevations the view includes the marshland of Benicia State Recreation Area to the north across Carquinez Strait. From atop Franklin Ridge along the Franklin Ridge Loop Trail and the California Riding and Hiking Trail, the horizon is pierced by the peaks of Mt. Tamalpais to the west and Mt. Diablo to the east. Looking south from this high point are the ridges of Briones and Las Trampas regional parks.

This is a close-up photo of seaweed submerged in a tidal pool that is reflecting overhanging blades of grass. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.

Tidal Trap finds hero Jefferson Parker quickly embroiled in an international chase of global proportions. When invited to visit his friend at a Naval station in Maine, Parker is recruited to undertake a covert mission. At first he refuses, but after an attack on the station and the disappearance of his friend, Parker accepts his role. From the North Atlantic to the Coast of Maine, from Iceland to Spain, Parker and his schooner crew are drawn ever deeper into intrigue and betrayal.
At stake, the security of America’s submarine force and the lives of countless people. Behind the obvious conflict arises a secret past for both Parker and Taylor Stephenson, a seemingly innocent bystander. Not to be so easily pushed aside, there’s Carla Gianni too, who is a crewmember on Parker’s schooner. She too is very much in love with Jeff and isn’t about to let Taylor walk away with the prize.
Join Parker and the US Navy, as they struggle to find solutions to a third-world rogue submarine, hidden agendas that reside within Congress and the CIA, and environmental issues revolving around dolphins used as weapons. Through it all, Parker must come to terms with a mission marred by court martial, a crew to lead and protect, and a choice between two women he professes to love.

An experimental design. The blades are 21 feet across and go into the water where the tidal flow turns them, thus generating electricity.
