Tidal Marsh Extent Webinar: Wednesday, April 16, 1:00 – 2:00 pm
How much tidal wetland do we have in San Francisco Bay?
The Baylands Habitat Map 2020 provides a critical foundation for calculating tidal wetland extent and wetland restoration progress. The latest habitat monitoring from the Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program (WRMP) reveals that San Francisco Bay’s tidal wetlands cover 53,700 acres as of 2020, marking an increase from previous estimates. This growth highlights the success of regional restoration efforts despite nationwide tidal wetland declines. Please join us for presentations and discussion to learn about how far our region has progressed towards having 100,000 acres of tidal wetland, and how the Baylands Habitat Map 2020 and Project Tracker can be used as tools for tracking progress.

This webinar is intended for those who track and/or communicate about regional progress in wetland restoration, those who want to use the Baylands Habitat Map and Project Tracker for their own habitat tracking in the Bay, and anyone else interested in the new products and findings. We hope to see you there!
