WRMP Administrating Entities

San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) – One of WRMP’s administrating entities, SFEI is a regional scientific research organization working to advance the health and resiliency of the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary and beyond. In addition to the WRMP, SFEI also administers the Bay Regional Monitoring Program (monitoring Bay water quality) and the Nutrient Management Strategy (monitoring nutrients and algal blooms in the Bay).

San Francisco Estuary Partnership (Estuary Partnership) – One of WRMP’s administrating entities, the Estuary Partnership  is a regional collaborative program working to protect, restore, and enhance water quality,fish and wildlife habitat, and the local communities that depend on them in and around the San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary. The Estuary Partnership is housed under the Metropolitan Transportation – Association of Bay Area Governments, and is responsible for the Estuary Blueprint and the State of Our Estuary reporting.

Other Regional Partner Organizations

In addition to the WRMP’s administrating entities, there are regional nonprofits and organizations working to conserve, protect, and restore the Estuary’s wetlands through their own programs and reports. The work of these organizations is in parallel to the WRMP and does not directly overlap with the Program’s monitoring.

For organizations whose efforts  link more directly with the WRMP’s work, see Indicator Alignment.
