44% Caucasian. <strong>The</strong> City of Watsonville is only 24.9% Caucasian (75.1%<br />
Hispanic) and the town of <strong>Pájaro</strong> is a mere 3.7% Caucasian (94.2% Hispanic).<br />
Both the towns of Watsonville and especially <strong>Pájaro</strong>, which was<br />
evacuated during the flood of 1995 and again in 1998, are strongly affected by<br />

could devastate their livelihood.<br />
