endangered species

In 2005, PRBO Conservation Science led a multi-partner effort to develop standardized survey protocols and determine population size and trends for the endangered California Clapper Rail in the San Francisco Bay Estuary. Partners contributing to the standardized protocol dataset included the U.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District’s (SCVWD) Healthy Creeks and Ecosystems’ Environmental Enhancement Grant Program funded the planning and implementation of tidal marsh-upland transitional plant community restoration at former salt pond A6 (Figure 1 below).

The California Gull (Larus californicus) population in the South San Francisco Bay has increased from fewer to 200 breeding Gulls in 1982, to a peak of 52,172 in 2012. Specific to this study there were 46,030 breeding Gulls in 2010 and 37,716 breeding Gulls in 2011.

This report serves as a data summary and preliminary, coarse-scale assessment of waterbird and water quality monitoring efforts at Coyote Hills, Dumbarton, and Mowry salt pond complexes in the South San Francisco Bay.

In 2011, we recorded Snowy Plover numbers, site use, nest success, fledging success, use of habitat enhancement project sites, species of nest predators and avian predator numbers throughout the Snowy Plover breeding season.

In 2010, we recorded Snowy Plover numbers, site use, nest success, fledging success, use of habitat enhancement project sites, species of nest predators and avian predator numbers throughout the Snowy Plover breeding season.
