San Pablo Bay Switchboard Keeping tabs on all the restoration work steaming ahead in the North Bay got easier on December 8, when a new Web site went on line. The site is a "swtichboard for programs and contacts" for the San Pablo Bay Watershed Restoration Program, a planning and coordinating program for North Bay restoration efforts organized by the Army Corps, the Coastal Conservancy and The Bay Institute. The site documents existing ecological resources on San Pablo Bay, describes restoration opportunities, lists resources for funding and technical support, provides links to other activities and programs, and offers over 300 references. "Doing this project is a sea change for the Corps," says Marc Holmes of The Bay Institute, referring to new acknowledgement at the Corps' S.F. District that flood control can be achieved not only with dams and culverts, but also through environmental restoration. The new Web site will also offer technical support with permits, for example. "If someone doesn't know a section 404 from a 911, we can help," he says "Finally there's going to be one place to go to find out what's going on in restoration."
