Regional Monitoring Program

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

San 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.
