Habitat Use by Breeding Waterbirds in Relation to Tidal Marsh Restoration in the San Francisco Bay Estuary
Abstract
The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project aims to restore many former salt production ponds, now managed for wildlife and water quality, to tidal marsh.

Coordinated phalarope surveys at western North American staging sites, 2019-2020
Wilson’s and red-necked phalaropes (Phalaropus tricolor and P. lobatus, respectively), have
poorly understood conservation statuses. These species breed in northerly latitudes of North
America to migrate to staging areas at saline lakes in western North America, before migrating to
Breeding Waterbird Populations Have Declined in South San Francisco Bay: An Assessment Over Two Decades
In south San Francisco Bay, former salt ponds now managed as wildlife habitat support large populations of breeding waterbirds. In 2006, the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project began the process of converting 50% to 90% of these managed pond habitats into tidal marsh.
