The WRMP has launched full scale data collection of tidal wetlands around San Francisco Bay to answer key management questions that will enable more successful wetland restoration and more cost-effective permit driven monitoring.
The SF Estuary Wetlands Profile tool in EcoAtlas presents a compilation of metrics about tidal wetlands based on the Baylands Habitat Map 2020, Project Tracker Tidal Wetland Restoration Map 2020 layer, and Tracking Tidal Wetland Extent in SF Bay, including tidal wetland extent, restoration status, unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), and elevation capital. The purpose of the Profile Tool is to support public policies and programs that protect aquatic resources and track regional progress towards meeting restoration targets.
This webinar will give a step-by-step tutorial on using the WRMP Profile Tool (https://sfei.li/wrmp-lp) to access and explore WRMP data.
When: Wednesday, January 14, noon – 1:00 pm
Speaker Bios:
Cristina Grosso: is the Managing Director for the Environmental Informatics Program at the San Francisco Estuary Institute. She manages the overall development of the EcoAtlas toolset that integrates wetlands and coastal habitats mapping, tracks restoration progress, and visualizes regional environmental data.
Lisa Beers: is a Lead Scientist for the Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program and senior scientist with the San Francisco Estuary Institute’s (SFEI) Resilient Landscapes program. Lisa is a tidal wetland ecologist, focusing on vegetation dynamics, carbon cycling, biogeochemistry, and greenhouse gas inventories.
Christina Toms: is an ecological engineer and senior scientist with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board with over 18 years of experience in the protection and restoration of aquatic ecosystems, especially tidal wetlands within the San Francisco Estuary and bar-built estuaries along the Pacific Coast. Her work at the Water Board focuses on the planning, permitting, and regional monitoring of estuarine wetland restoration and climate change adaptation projects.
