Featured Projects
 | Alameda Creek Historical Ecology StudyThis 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 ForumAlameda 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. |
 | Atmospheric Deposition StrategyThe RMP is developing a strategy for assessing atmospheric loads of contaminants to the Estuary. |
 | Bay Area Aquatic Resource Inventory (BAARI)BAARI is a base map of the Bay Area's aquatic features: wetlands, open water, streams, ditches, tidal marshes and flats, and riparian areas. |
 | California Wetland and Riparian Area Protection Policy Technical SupportThrough 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 PortalComprehensive information on California wetlands |
 | Central Valley Watershed Monitoring DirectoryAn online resource that promotes and facilitates coordination of water monitoring across the Central Valley basin. |
 | Critical Coastal AreasPhase II of the CCA Program is designed to build on the preliminary assessment conducted under Phase I, which was completed in 2007. A key goal is to demonstrate the validity and applicability of various predictive tools to local government and other implementers of Best Management Practices (BMPs) under each set of applicable Management Measures. |
 | East Contra Costa County Historical Ecology Studya historical ecology assessment of natural resources in East Contra Costa County |
 | Historical Ecology of Miller CreekThis project provides an introduction to the historical land use and landscape changes in the Miller Creek watershed in eastern Marin County. |
 | Historical Wetlands of the Southern California Coast: An Atlas of US Coast Survey T-Sheets 1851-1889This project is the first regional assessment of the relative distribution and abundance of different wetland habitat types along the historical Southern California coastline. |
 | Napa River Watershed ProfilePast and Present Alluvial River Function in the Napa River Watershed and Implications for Future Management and Essential Ecological Services |
 | Napa Valley Historical Ecology Atlasa richly illustrated tour of the iconic Napa Valley landscape from 200 years ago to the present and future |
 | Re-OakingBringing Native Trees Back into the Bay Area’s Suburban Landscapes. |
 | Relative Sensitivity of Terns to PBDEsSan Francisco Bay is critical habitat for many birds including several rare and endangered species such as the Least Tern. This egg injection study will develop thresholds for hatching, pipping and survival for the east coast common tern, a surrogate for the San Francisco Bay area Least, Caspian and Forster’s terns. |
 | Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Historical Ecology StudyThis project will document the ecological and hydrogeomorphic characteristics of Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta prior to significant Euro-American modification. |
 | South Baylands Mercury Project (SBMP)2008 was the third and last year of a project to characterize and monitor bio-available mercury and its uptake into local food webs of the South Bay managed ponds and intertidal habitats, focusing initially on Pond A8 and Alviso Slough. |
 | Urban Stormwater BMPs - (Prop 13)Nonpoint source pollution has been identified nationally, in the State of California, and in the Bay Area as the leading source of degradation of natural waters. |
 | Ventura County Historical Ecology Studythe historical ecology of the lower Santa Clara River, Ventura River, and Oxnard Plain |
 | Wetlands Regional Monitoring ProjectThis Prop 50 - funded project is a three-year effort to monitor and track changes in Bay Area wetland condition using the EPA's three-level monitoring framework. |
