The Our Estuary Online Hub is Now Online

Register for the next Transforming Shorelines Collaborative
The Transforming Shorelines Collaborative invites you to an in‑person meeting focused on groundwater rise and contaminated sites in the Bay Area. While new data and modeling have expanded our understanding of these emerging threats, major questions remain about how to interpret the latest projections for vulnerability assessments and how to design effective, technically sound responses.
This event will be held May 29, 9:30am–12:30pm at the Bay Area Metro Center.
About the Estuary Partnership
The San Francisco Estuary Partnership is a collaborative regional program of resource agencies, non-profits, citizens, and scientists working to protect, restore, and enhance water quality and fish and wildlife habitat in and around the San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary. Working cooperatively, we share information and resources that result in studies, projects, and programs that improve the Estuary and communicate its value and needs to the public. The Association of Bay Area Governments is the home agency for Partnership staff and finances. Our offices are located at the Bay Area Metro Center in San Francisco. Please see our Implementation Committee meeting dates and materials here.
