Priority Landscapes: San Francisco Bay-Delta

The San Francisco Bay-Delta PES is one way that USGS continues to provide science for the restoration and conservation of the SF Bay and its watershed.  USGS research topics range from wetland restoration in the Bay to restoring habitat for anadromous fish (e.g., salmon) in the uplands.   USGS has made several important discoveries critical to the fundamental understanding of this system and continues to conduct critical work necessary to improve the restore of a system faced with multiple pressures including climate change.  Within the PES we combine our capacities in the multiple disciplines necessary to conduct the research to provide information needed by decision makers across various agencies.
