2021 RMP Annual Meeting The 28th RMP Annual Meeting will be hosted on Thursday, October 14th, 2021. Trees, Hydrology, Urban-Greening, and Nature-Based Solutions Two key reports support nature-based solutions. Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and enhancements to the urban tree canopy offer benefits to stormwater management, urban ecological improvements, and complementary urban greening activities.On... Science for Solutions Our 50-plus scientists conduct research in three programs: Clean Water, Resilient Landscapes and Environmental Informatics Promoting Healthy Aquatic Ecosystems We produce independent aquatic ecosystem science for the public and decision-makers Pursuing Innovation We supply science and technology for watershed and aquatic resource management Our Watersheds, Our Future We help decision-makers identify cost-effective options for protecting and restoring natural resources Studying the Past to Shape the Present and Future of Californias Watersheds Our pioneering work in historical ecology promotes a more resilient, ecologically sustainable landscape Water, Land, People SFEI connects people and policymakers to the waters and lands we all share Collaboration Comes Naturally We work across boundaries and partner with leading organizations to drive smart environmental outcomes Our Programs

Bay Regional Monitoring Program The Regional Monitoring Program (RMP) is SFEI’s largest program and monitors contamination in the Estuary. It provides water quality regulators with information they need to manage the Estuary effectively. The RMP is an innovative collaborative effort between SFEI, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the regulated discharger community. Read More... New Nutrient Science Initiatives SFEI is the science lead for the San Francisco Bay Nutrient Science and Management Strategy, which is developing the science needed for informed decisions about managing nutrient loads and maintaining beneficial uses within the Bay. Two recent products highlight key initiatives of this Program. Read More... Emerging Contaminants: A Success Story The SF Chronicle features a story describing how scientists have found evidence of widespread and rapid declines in flame retardant pollution in many San Francisco Bay species, according to a new study released by the San Francisco Estuary Institute.

EcoAtlas California's EcoAtlas provides access to information for effective wetland management. The maps and tools can be used to create a complete picture of aquatic resources in the landscape by integrating stream and wetland maps, restoration information, and monitoring results with other information important to the state’s wetlands. Read More... RipZet: A Tool for Estimating Riparian Zones The Riparian Zone Estimator Tool (RipZET) is a GIS-based decision-support tool under development for estimating riparian zones at the watershed and/or project scale. The tool provides reach-scale functional riparian width estimates based on average height of mature riparian vegetation, the steepness of hillslopes adjacent to the channel, and the floodplain inundation extent for large storm events. The appropriate width estimate for a reach is then determined based on the riparian functions associated with different channel types, which range from steep headwater channels to low-gradient, meandering channels with broad floodplains. Read More... Contaminant Data Display Download (CD3) Contaminant Data Display and Download Tool or CD3 is an innovative visualization tool that enables users to perform spatial queries for water quality data from the San Francisco Estuary and Delta. Data can be dynamically mapped and downloaded as an Excel file. New datasets are regularly made available through this tool. Read More...

A Delta Transformed A Delta Transformed: Ecological Functions, Spatial Metrics, and Landscape Change in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta provides the first analysis of landscape ecology metrics in the pre-disturbance and contemporary Delta to help define, design, and evaluate functional, resilient landscapes for the future. Read More... San Diego County Lagoons Historical Ecology The Northern San Diego County Lagoons Historical Ecology Investigation draws on hundreds of historical documents to analyze and reconstruct historical landscape conditions for six northern San Diego County estuaries prior to the major modifications of the late 19th and 20th centuries. This study shows that the lagoons experienced highly dynamic, variable environmental conditions and supported a diverse array of habitats and native species in the recent past. Though the lagoons have experienced widespread transformation over the past centuries, elements of the lagoon ecosystems have persisted. Read More... Flood Control 2.0 Flood Control 2.0 is an ambitious regional effort aimed at helping restore stream and wetland habitats, water quality, and shoreline resilience around San Francisco Bay. The project leverages local resources from several forward-looking flood control agencies to redesign major flood control channels so that they provide both future flood conveyance and ecological benefit under a changing climate. Read More... Our Team The San Francisco Estuary Institute comprises over sixty scientists, technologists, and designers who offer a wide range of expertise. Each team member, in her or his own way, helps to define environmental problems, advance public debate about them through sound science, and support consensus-based solutions that improve environmental planning, management, and policy development.All Staff
