  2. Basic Conceptual Model e.g., contaminants, suspended sediment, freshwater e.g., juvenile fish, organic carbon, contaminants, detritus Atmosphere Watersheds Wetlands Ocean Bays e.g., salt, anadromous fishes, riparian birds e.g., salt, intertidal fishes, suspended sediment

  3. Working Uphill Bay Tidal Wetlands Non-Tidal Wetlands Focus on Tidal Wetlands

  4. Basic Strategy Set Habitat Goals * Make & Measure Progress

  5. Basic Processto Set Goals Understand the Past, Present, and Change Predict Future

  6. Past Present Change Historical Ecology Bay Area EcoAtlas Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program

  8. Basic Strategy Set Habitat Goals Measure Progress with the WRMP *

  9. Basic WRMP Structure SFEI forms and administers and partners with technical teams to develop indicators, collect data, and report understanding. Physical Process, Bio-Geo Chemistry, Vegetation, Invertebrates, Fish, Amphibians and Reptiles, Mammals, Birds, Landscape Ecology, Information Technology

  10. Current WRMP Projects Wetland Tracking Project Monitoring Special Studies Information Technology Wetland Inventory and Indicator Development Review of Project Data and Reports Ecosystem Effects Research Data Management And Reporting EPA’s 3-tier Approach EAIS Development Montezuma Project CALFED Wetlands Pilot EMAP-Estuaries West Coast Pilot Crissy Field Project UC Davis & Univ.
