Program areas at San Francisco Estuary Institute

CLEAN WATER PROGRAM: Our Clean Water Program is one of the Nation's premier water quality science supporting aquatic resource protection. Clean Water anticipates and meets the water quality information needs of managers and the public. The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay is the flagship of the Clean Water Program.
REGIONAL MONITORING PROGRAM (RMP): The RMP is a subset of the Clean Water Program. Chemical contamination in San Francisco Bay is governed by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (the Water Board). The Water Board has a well-articulated framework for managing contamination in the Bay contained in the Water Quality Control Plan (Plan). The Plan classifies the valued attributes of the Bay as "beneficial usesX and establishes water quality objectives that are protective of these beneficial uses. The RMP is an innovative collaborative effort between the Institute, the Water Baord, and the regulated discharges community. This program for contaminants of concern in the San Francisco Estuary is the primary source of information and is used to evaluate beneficial use impairment in the Bay due to chemical contamination.
RESILIENT LANDSCAPE PROGRAM: Resilient Landscapes develops ecosystem restoration and landscape management strategies that sustain key ecological services. We rigorously evaluate management alternatives using innovative visualization and design.
