Steelhead Smolt Outmigration and Survival Study: Year 2 Stream Surveys Final Report
The New Almaden Mercury Mining District, established 1845 in the hills south of San Jose, California, was the first mercury mine in the state (Snell 1964).
Tidal Marsh Restoration Benefits Leopard Sharks in South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project Ponds. Final Report
The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project (SBSPRP) is one of the largest tidal marsh restorations in the United States.
Steelhead Smolt Outmigration and Survival Study: Pond A8, A7 & A5 Entrainment and Escapement.
The New Almaden Mercury Mining District, established 1845 in the hills south of San Jose, California, was the first mercury mine in the state (Snell 1964). It was located at the headwaters of the Guadalupe River which flows into the Alviso Marsh at Guadalupe Slough and Alviso Slough.
Vegetation Management in SBSP’s Alviso Unit seeding high marsh and upland transitional habitats
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 South Bay Mercury Project: Using Biosentinels to Monitor Effects of Wetland Restoration for the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project
The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project plans to convert 50-90% of the former salt evaporation ponds of South San Francisco Bay into tidal marsh habitat. This large-scale habitat restoration may change the distribution, bioavailability, and bioaccumulation of methylmercury.
Monitoring the Response of Fish Communities to Salt Pond Restoration: Final Report
The goal of this project is to document the species assemblages within the restored salt ponds and to design a monitoring program to assess the effect of pond restoration on fish assemblages inside newly breached ponds and adjacent sloughs.
South Bay Salt Pond Restoration—Fish Monitoring Summary Progress Report for January–June, 2012
Five otter trawl surveys were conducted in fulfillment of Task 1 (Alviso Complex Sampling) and Task 4 (Bair Island Sampling)
Benthic invertebrate community assessment as a phytoplankton consumer and fish and bird prey source before and after the start of the restoration
We analyzed spatially-intensive benthic samples collected during three seasons in each of three years prior to the restoration project (1993-1995) and after the restoration activities started (2006-2008).
