Habitat Evolution Mapping Project Decadal Update 2019 & 2021 Final Report
Despite fluctuations in acreages between years, the marshes and mudflat south of the San Mateo bridge appear relatively stable between the period 2009 – 2021, in that the relative proportions between different habitat types have not changed significantly. Within a number of restored ponds (e.g.,

Establishing baseline conditions to inform adaptive management of South San Francisco Bay salt ponds: A comparison of waterbird abundance from the 1980s to the 2000s
The 30,000 acres of wetlands within the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) provide critical habitat for over one million waterbirds annually (Page et al. 1999, Warnock et al. 2002). These wetlands consist largely of tidal marshes and open water ponds.
Tidally-Induced Limits to California Clapper Rail Ecology in San Francisco Bay Salt Marshes
The state and federally endangered California clapper rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus) has declined in abundance and been reduced in range and now occupies fragmented intertidal saltmarsh only within San Francisco Bay.
Merging tidal datums and Lidar elevation for species distribution modeling in South San Francisco Bay
Because high tides increase in elevation across South San Francisco Bay, and because tidal inundation structures tidal salt marshes plant zonation, species distribution models (SDMs) of salt marsh plants require integrated, spatially continuous measures of tidal patterns and elevation.
Identifying Limonium ramosissimum populations using a species distribution model and ground searches in tidal marshes of South San Francisco Bay
Early detection of invasive species is required for cost effective management of plant invasions, but finding nascent populations often requires extensive field surveys
