Suisun Marsh Habitat Restoration and UC Davis Fisheries Lab Tour
Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Tour Coordinators:
Paul Garrison, California Department of Water Resources
Lisa Thompson, UC Davis
Suisun Marsh
Suisun Marsh is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America and is a critical part of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta (Bay-Delta) estuary ecosystem. The Marsh encompasses more than 10% of California’s remaining natural wetlands and provides important habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammalian species, 16 reptile and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species.
Over 60 researchers are affiliated with the UC Davis Center for Aquatic Biology and Aquaculture (CABA), working across a wide range of aquatic specialties, with results that inform the management of ecosystems like the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh. After the marsh tour, participants will have a short indoor presentation on CABA projects, then a walking tour of the main CABA facility.
