1 WETLANDS WORK AT SFEI

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

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

4 Basic Strategy 1.Set Habitat Goals * 2.Make & Measure Progress

5 Basic Process to Set Goals Understand the Past, Present, and Change Predict Future

8 Basic Strategy 1.Set Habitat Goals 2.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
