Presentations highlight structured decision making, collective action on invasive species, and a scoring system for restoration projects Adaptive management is a strategy for making management decisions under uncertain conditions using the best available science rather than repeatedly delaying action until...
Studies show fall water temperatures may play more of a role in Delta smelt survival than flow augmentation Managing freshwater outflow in late winter-early spring to maintain the Low-Salinity Zone in Suisun Bay has been one of the primary management...
Once not all that long ago, the prevailing thought was that if tidal marsh remnants were protected and carefully managed, they would persist for the foreseeable future, providing sanctuary for tidal marsh species that are at-risk due to habitat loss...
The Delta Reform Act requires ‘taking into consideration the physical changes that have occurred in the past and the future impact of climate change and sea level rise’ for restoration planning. Re-establishment of tidal marsh is critical to restoring food...
As part of its charge to review science activities that support adaptive management in the Delta, the Delta Independent Science Board (DISB) has completed a review of the scientific basis for assessing water quality in the Delta. The review focused...
