Thank you to the scientists from SFSU’s Estuary and Ocean Science Center in Tiburon for your hard work restoring eelgrass in Richardson Bay!

Early evidence for establishment of a Chinook salmon population in a restored watershed As fish populations face compounding pressures under climate change, highly modified rivers are receiving increasing research and conservation attention as important sites for restoration. Across the....

Salmon returning to Lower Putah Creek (in Solano County) has to be one of my favorite recent stories of environmental "wins" following habitat restoration.

I have so much respect for organizations willing and able to proclaim their values against a backdrop of efforts to be silenced.

I don't know if this science is real, but I can tell you I never felt worse after hanging out with plants.

Thank you for elevating James' story. He has been so depersonalized in all of the City's communications. The fact that the encampment sweep happened on Christmas Eve makes this tragedy all the more heartbreaking.

There’s got to be a foundation out there, or state agency, or /something/ that can help.

I know countless amazing scientists who got their start at the EOS Center (formerly called the Romberg Tiburon Center). Center staff and students are on the forefront of the most important habitat restoration projects in the region, and their science improves conservation work around the globe.

Only marine lab on San Francisco Bay to close amid budget shortfall San Francisco State University will close its Estuary and Ocean Science Center, an important site of climate change research, due to lack of funding.

If SFSU's Estuary & Ocean Science Center closes it would be a monumental loss - not just to the Bay Area but to everyone working to protect wetlands, bays, and estuaries throughout the state.

How can we stop this from happening?

At this point, you'd think I'd know better than to EVER put the word "Final" in a file name.

Just put the date. Or the version number. Adding "Final" just guarantees it will not be.

Huge thanks to Congressman Huffman for your environmental leadership! US Fish and Wildlife Service's Coastal Program is an important partner in protecting and restoring the California coast for people and wildlife.
