SFBAY NERR

San Francisco Bay NERR

The San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) encompasses over 3,700 acres of tidal marshes and undeveloped uplands that serve as research sites, outdoor classrooms, and recreation destinations. Reserve staff work to restore tidal marshes and strengthen the coastal community through research, monitoring, training, and education. As a staff we are working to be strong allies and provide stewardship for our local frontline communities around our reserve sites and throughout the Estuary.

What's the health of the San Francisco Estuary — and how do we measure it?

In this webinar, hosted by the SF Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, environmental scientists from the San Francisco Estuary Partnership and the San Francisco Estuary Institute walk us through a newly updated reporting tool tracking key indicators of estuary health, from freshwater flow to fish populations to tidal marsh birds. Panelists also discuss what the data reveals about ecosystem resilience and the growing fingerprints of climate change on the Bay.
