State of the Estuary Report is a report that describes the existing state of the Bay/Delta estuary and how the estuary is influenced by local and regional activities. It is based primarily on the Estuary Project's technical reports. It contains valuable information on the Bay/Delta estuary's physical characteristics, its development and uses by humans, status and trends of its habitats, fish, wildlife and information on wetlands, freshwater flows, pollutants, dredging and waterway modifications.

This report is a part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). It will be updated biennially. Future State of the Estuary reports will evaluate the effectiveness of CCMP and will identify any additional actions needed to meet its goals.
