Projects

Filter Projects By SFEI Program:

Alameda Creek Historical Ecology Study

This study will assess watershed conditions prior to significant Euro-American modification, as a basis for understanding subsequent changes in watershed structure and function, and potential options for future environmental management.

Alameda Creek Watershed Sediment Forum

Alameda Creek is the largest watershed in the Bay area draining approximately 650 square miles of the East Bay interior hills and valleys, including the Livermore-Amador and Sunol valleys.

Assessment of Removal of Creosote-Treated Pilings and Structures from San Francisco Bay

The Creosote Piling Project assesses the potential removal of creosoted pilings from San Francisco Bay.

Atmospheric Deposition Strategy

The RMP is developing a strategy for assessing atmospheric loads of contaminants to the Estuary.

Ballona Creek

The Ballona Creek project supports historical research conducted by the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project and CSU-Northridge on the historical ecology of the Ballona Creek watershed

BayBoards

Forgotten landscapes reappear on commercial billboards

Baylands and Creeks of South San Francisco Bay

A map of historical habitats and channels in the South Bay.

Bird Egg Monitoring

The RMP conducts triennial monitoring of cormorant and tern eggs for mercury, selenium, and trace organics.

California 401/WDR Wetland Project Applications in California Wetlands Portal

This project is intended to enable California Wetlands Portal to be the common data management system for the State’s primary wetland protection policies and programs.

California Coastal Water Quality Monitoring Inventory

Water quality monitoring provides important information to environmental managers, regulators, and citizen groups about the condition of the State's Coastal Waters. However, since there are many individual programs which currently exist, each providing information, it has been difficult to find who is monitoring what, and where.

California Wetland and Riparian Area Protection Policy Technical Support

Through the ASC, SFEI is working with a team of technical advisor to provide the breadth and depth of scientific understanding about wetlands and riparian areas needed to assure the scientific credibility of the new state policy to protect California's Wetlands.

California Wetlands Portal

Comprehensive information on California wetlands

California Wetlands Portal (Wetland Tracker)

Where are California's wetlands? The California Wetlands Portal is a tool designed to answer this question.

Central Valley Monitoring Inventory

SFEI developed an interactive inventory of water quality monitoring activities in the Central Valley.

Central Valley Watershed Monitoring Directory

An online resource that promotes and facilitates coordination of water monitoring across the basin.

Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP) Phase 6

In 2007, the CCMP was updated to reflect continuing and new needs and opportunities for protecting and restoring valuable ecosystem components, to more strongly link the Estuary itself to its surrounding watersheds, and to refine and adjust education, outreach, and progress tracking activities

Conceptual Model for Bioaccumulation

The Estuary is listed as impaired for many contaminants as a result of elevated concentrations observed in biota. This project will develop a conceptual model of contaminant uptake by biota.

Coyote Creek Watershed Historical Ecology Study

Historical condition, Landscape change and restoration potential in the Eastern Santa Clara Valley, California
