Bay Delta Science Conference
Get ready for the 2016 Science Conference in Sacramento! The theme this year is Science for Solutions: Linking Data and Decisions. Abstracts are due June 3 and the conference will take place Nov 15th - 17th. Follow the link to visit the conference website for more info.
The Bay Institute's newly released report examines the effects of reduced freshwater inflow on the Bay's ecosystems and the viability of fish and wildlife.
We are excited to announce the release of the Estuary Blueprint (2016 CCMP), SFEPs banner document. The Estuary Blueprint is the collaborative vision for the future of the Estuary.
The San Francisco Bay-Delta is named in the federal Clean Water Act as one of 28 “estuaries of national significance." For over 20 years, the San Francisco Estuary Partnership has worked together with local communities and federal and state agencies to improve the health of California’s most urbanized estuary.
Partnership News
The San Francisco Estuary Partnership is pleased to announce its release of the Green Streets and Stronger Safer Shorelines outreach brochures! These pieces are built for elected officials as well as city planners. They review the advantages associated with Low Impact Development and Green Infrastructure, provide information on why cities and counties should consider these elements as the region moves forward with protecting coastlines and water quality, and provides information on projects that have successfully implemented these concepts.
