San Francisco Estuary Partnership Join us at the State of the Estuary Conference! https://www.sfestuary.org/state-of-the-estuary-conference/

The San Francisco Estuary Partnership brings together resource agencies, non-profits, citizens, and scientists working to protect, restore, and enhance water quality and fish and wildlife habitat in and around the San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary. Working cooperatively, we are able to share information and leverage resources that result in studies, projects, and programs to improve the Estuary and communicate its value and needs to the public.

🏆 Staff Spotlight: Congratulations, Kierstin!

Congratulations to Kierstin on receiving the 2026 COAST Graduate Student Engagement Award! The award recognizes graduate students who contribute to diversity and inclusivity in marine science through research, teaching, and community engagement.

During her time at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Kierstin worked with Dr. Maya deVries to develop and mentor the SJSU Aquanauts program, which provides undergraduate students with hands-on work and research experiences while creating pathways into aquaculture and marine science for students historically underrepresented in these fields.
Congratulations to Kierstin on this recognition and her contributions to expanding opportunities in marine science!

🌿 Exploring Treatment Wetlands for Water Quality Improvement!

On October 6, the Transforming Shorelines Collaborative (TSC) hosted a webinar on treatment wetlands for improving water quality.

The webinar featured Bay Area Clean Water Agencies, which discussed why municipalities care about nutrient loads and why they are turning to nature-based solutions (NBS) to manage them. The San Francisco Estuary Institute shared its analysis of the opportunities and constraints of NBS for wastewater treatment.

Participants also learned about Mt. View Sanitary District's Moorhen Marsh as a case study of a successful treatment wetland. The City of Hayward shared its plans for a treatment wetland, followed by consultants from Sherwood Engineers and Biohabitats, who discussed design considerations for the city's plans.

After the webinar, participants visited Moorhen Marsh, the West Coast's oldest treatment wetland, to learn about its history and role in improving water quality.

Thank you to all the speakers and participants who joined us. Stay tuned for our next Transforming Shorelines Collaborative by visiting our website: https://ow.ly/Z4nI50ZZam5

On Friday, October 9, we joined a San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority (RA) hosted tour of projects with East Bay Regional Park District. The tour, attended by local elected officials, State Coastal Conservancy (SF Bay Restoration Authority) and Estuary Partnership staff, and community members, explored both the Coyote Hills Restoration and Public Access Project and the Hayward Marsh Restoration Project. Attendees learned how RA funds from the Measure AA tax are being invested to restore habitat, provide accessible spaces for recreation, and safeguard green spaces. The cherry on top…the trip was full of animal sightings, including a family of deer, waterfowl, wild turkeys, and more.

💧 Celebrating 54 Years of the Clean Water Act!

On October 18, 1972, the Clean Water Act became law, establishing a national framework for protecting and improving water quality across the United States.

Following decades of water pollution, including Ohio's Cuyahoga River catching fire in 1969, the law helped establish water quality standards, regulate pollution, and improve wastewater treatment.

In 1987, amendments to the Clean Water Act authorized the establishment of the National Estuary Program, which includes the San Francisco Estuary Partnership. Today, we continue working with regional partners to improve water quality, restore habitats, and protect the San Francisco Estuary. 🔗 Learn more: https://www.nrdc.org/stories/clean-water-act-101

Rising sea levels threaten West Oakland, the surrounding area, and the Bay Bridge, which connects millions of Bay Area residents every day. That is why Caltrans HQ District 4 is holding focus groups to invite community members to develop solutions to protect the bridge, surrounding roads, and the communities that depend on them —interested in sharing your input? Attend a focus group happening today or tomorrow.

💧 A New Water Year Has Begun!

Did you know California’s 2027 water year began on October 1, 2026, and will end on September 30, 2027?

Unlike the calendar year, the water year follows California’s seasonal precipitation cycle, helping scientists and water managers track rainfall, snowpack, and water supplies.

As the 2027 water year begins, it's an opportunity to learn more about how precipitation and changing water conditions affect California's watersheds and the San Francisco Estuary.

Over the last two weeks, the Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program (WRMP) team has been on the GO, presenting at both the Restore America’s Estuaries and the Bay-Delta Science Conferences in San Francisco and Sacramento. The WRMP team, comprised of staff from the Estuary Partnership and San Francisco Estuary Institute / Aquatic Science Center, led several dedicated sessions at both conferences, joined five panel discussions, hosted a field trip, and showcased multiple posters. Partners and other organizations throughout the conferences also used the opportunity to highlight and share WRMP findings and products.

Here’s a quick overview of the WRMP team’s presentations:

New from the Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program! 🌿

This summer, the WRMP team conducted a pilot assessment of amenities at 73 wetland public access sites across the Bay Area. CSU COAST interns Ezra Conley-Proia and Gabi Mendez collected data on public access features, including their locations, characteristics, and condition.

Ezra and Gabi brought their work together in a new Wetland Public Access Amenities StoryMap, where you can explore the data, photos, intern reflections, and next steps.
