Programs and Projects
|
CMR is a multifaceted program of monitoring and research that contributes to the understanding of contaminant loadings, fate, and effects in the Estuary. |
RMP monitors contaminant concentrations in water, sediments, and fish and shellfish tissue in San Francisco Bay and Delta. |
|
A monitoring program is needed to evaluate wetland policies, programs, and projects in the Region. Wetlands need to be compared to one another and over time, relative to ambient conditions, to assess the status and trends of the wetland ecosystem, measure the progress of wetland projects, measure the effects of the projects on the larger ecosystem, troubleshoot problems, assess the efficacy of management decisions, and otherwise account for the public investment in wetlands. |
The aim of the Watershed Program at SFEI is to provide Bay Area environmental managers with quality science information in the context of the whole system. |
|
Biological invasions—the introduction and spread of exotic organisms in regions outside of their native range—has emerged as a major environmental, economic and public health problem tied to the rapid, ongoing expansion in international trade and travel. |
The Historical Ecology Program studies how the Bay Area landscape has changed since native times, guiding environmental restoration and management efforts throughout the region. |
|
The EcoAtlas will provide public access to a large collection of objective scientific data and information about the San Francisco Estuary and its watersheds.
• Wetland Project Tracker
• Ecoatlas (test site)
• PCBs in the Bay
• EcoAtlas Baylands Maps |
The purpose of the APMP is to provide information on the effects of chemical and non-chemical aquatic pest control methods. |
