California Wetlands Portal (Wetland Tracker)
Where are California's wetlands?
The Wetland Tracker provides free public access to information about the location, size, sponsors, habitats, contact persons, and status of wetland restoration, mitigation, creation, and enhancement projects in the San Francisco Bay Area. It also provides information on the location and condition of wetlands around the state.
What type of information is available?
- Projects: Planned and completed wetland projects are displayed on an interactive regional map. Information about the project's habitat and size can be found on project information pages. Projects have project libraries containing reports, data, photos, videos, or maps
- Base maps: Modern wetland habitats, historic habitats
- Wetland condition: Results for wetlands that have been assessed using the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM)
The San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board has integrated the Wetland Tracker into its regulatory process, and completion of the Wetland Tracker form is now a condition for 401 permitting. The Wetland Tracker has been integrated into the wetlands portion of the State Water Resources Control Board water quality web portals.
