(703.29 KB)WRAMP Training and Outreach Plan. SFEI Contribution No. 1136. p 39.
2023. (5.8 MB)The goal of this Training and Outreach Plan is to increase the overall awareness and use of the WRAMP datasets and tools in support of wetland resource planning, management, and project performance tracking in California. Specifically, a near-term goal is to develop modular training sessions that can be linked together in different ways to customize how the datasets, monitoring methods, and online tools might be used for different purposes.

1995. Sports and urban biodiversity. . SFEI Contribution No. 1028.
2020. SFEI collaborated with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to create a guide to incorporating nature into urban sports, from the development of Olympic cities to the design and management of the many sport fields throughout the urban landscape. We applied the Urban Biodiversity Framework developed in Making Nature’s City to the world of sports, with case studies drawn from international sport federations, Olympic cities, and individual sport teams and venues around the world. The guide is part of IUCN’s ongoing collaboration with IOC to develop best practices around biodiversity for the sporting industry.

2004. (1.15 MB)Novato Creek Baylands Vision: Integrating ecological functions and flood protection within a climate-resilient landscape. SFEI Contribution No. 764.
2015. (21.5 MB)This report explores the potential for integrating ecological functions into flood risk management on lower Novato Creek. It presents an initial vision of how ecological elements could contribute to flood protection, based on a broad scale analysis and a one day workshop of local and regional experts. The Vision is not intended to be implemented as is, but rather adapted and applied through future projects and analysis. Other actions (e.g., floodwater detention basins) may also need to be implemented in the interim to meet flood risk objectives.
