Climate Ready Estuary Project Workshop

SFEP and BCDC hosted a day-long workshop to launch the EPA's Climate Ready Estuary Project on October 9, 2008. Scientists from around the region presented findings reflecting the current, best understanding of the potential impacts from climate change on the San Francisco Bay Estuary. The lectures highlighted the importance of how likely changes in the sediment and hydrological regimes will impact the Bay, including its wetlands and mudflats as well as key species of fish and birds. Links to the presentations are provided below.
