The ponds, originally used for salt production, are now a focal point of the largest tidal wetland restoration on the West Coast.\r\n\r\nThe ambitious South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project will eventually transform 15,100 acres of industrial salt ponds back into tidal marshes and other wetlands, while adding recreation areas and providing flood risk management. A group of government agencies, municipalities, and researchers are partners in the effort, including the California State Coastal Conservancy, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife.\r\n\r\nCoordination is important with so many experts involved and a project scope roughly the size of Manhattan. Geography serves as their common language.\r\n\r\nMaps made with geographic information system (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/what-is-gis\/overview\">GIS<\/a>) technology combine the data layers of Bay Area restoration projects into a visual resource. Meanwhile, project managers record milestones in a GIS portal. The technology also supports planning and analysis, as ideas and decisions can be vetted virtually to understand potential impacts on the ecosystem.\r\n\r\nCurrently in the second of three phases, the effort is critical to the long-term health of the San Francisco Bay, <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife.org\/researchers-find-tipping-points-in-salt-marsh-survival\/\">which has reached a tipping point<\/a> as human impacts threaten its natural balance.\r\n\r\n\u201cOver the last 150 years, the San Francisco Bay has lost about 80 to 90 percent of its wetlands. Restoring tidal marshes in that area will be a line of defense against sea level rise and climate change,\u201d said Donna Ball, the project\u2019s lead scientist and senior scientist at San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI). A partner in the project, SFEI is an environmental research institute and nonprofit organization that has been using science to rebuild and sustain the health and resilience of the San Francisco Bay since the early 1990s."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[715642,715652,715662]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3><strong>Monitoring Habitat Changes for Effective Restoration Strategies<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe San Francisco Bay, the largest estuary on the West Coast, protects over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologicaldiversity.org\/campaigns\/san_francisco_bay_area_and_delta_protection\/index.html\">90 animal and plant species listed as threatened or endangered<\/a> under the federal Endangered Species Act.\r\n\r\nCommercial salt production hindered its biodiversity. Some microorganisms can thrive in the ponds. But broader diversity is limited by each species\u2019 ability to tolerate high levels of salinity, which can harm plant growth, alter soil composition, destroy natural vegetation, and change the wetlands' ecological health.\r\n\r\nAlternately, tidal marshes provide an array of vital ecosystem services that mitigate the effects of climate change. Marshes naturally filter water, capture and store carbon dioxide, stabilize shorelines, and provide a buffer against sea level rise and flooding by slowing down stormwater and runoff. They also provide a habitat for a range of species, such as the salt marsh harvest mouse and the Ridgway's Rail, a hen-sized marsh bird only found in the San Francisco estuary.\r\n\r\n\u201cFor us, that\u2019s the goal,\u201d Ball said. \u201cTo create wetlands that are used by the species that need it.\u201d\r\n\r\nScientists use maps to understand this complex landscape. In April, SFEI released a new version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfei.org\/projects\/baylands-change-basemap\">Baylands Habitat Map<\/a> to aid in protection and restoration efforts.\r\n\r\nThe map reveals changes over the past two decades. It includes information about how land use and infrastructure affect restoration and management opportunities. SFEI plans to update the map with new imagery and data every five years to understand habitat changes. This knowledge will be integral to monitoring project outcomes.\r\n\r\n\u201cOne of the things we need to track is the evolution of habitats,\u201d Ball said. \u201cAs we restore habitats, we need to be able to see how they're developing. We\u2019ve been doing mapping every 10 years. But the Baylands Habitat Map is a really promising tool for us because we'll be able to see their evolution on a quicker time frame.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[715592,715632,715622]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"As the project progresses, the ponds\u2019 berms and levees\u2014raised structures used to mitigate flooding\u2014are broken down to restore their historic connection to the rest of the Bay. Some of these areas will be restored naturally to tidal marshes on their own in 10 to 15 years. Other ponds may need more sediment to correct elevation levels. Scientists will continually monitor ecological markers to ensure the project successfully meets restoration goals.\r\n\r\nSFEI\u2019s research reports, which are filled with maps and drone imagery, are integral. A report from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfei.org\/projects\/baylandsgoals\">Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Project<\/a>, for example, identified the importance of building and restoring upland transition zones in marshes, which act as buffers to sea level rise.\r\n\r\nAs restoration projects increase, so does the demand for sediment\u2014it\u2019s unlikely that the Bay\u2019s natural supply can fulfill the needs of every project.

GIS gives spatial context to these natural relationships and reveals priority areas for restoration.\r\n\r\nEcoAtlas layers more than two dozen <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoatlas.org\/data\/\">authoritative datasets<\/a> on top of each other so that users can see how features such as vegetation, species diversity, and soil conditions interact with each other. With this comprehensive picture, scientists and project stakeholders can make informed decisions to benefit the Bay and the people who live nearby.\r\n\r\nBy cataloging California\u2019s conservation projects and maps in EcoAtlas, SFEI and its partners facilitate future restoration efforts. As local governments and other organizations take steps toward climate resilience, they can use the portal\u2019s research and findings to guide their paths.\r\n\r\n\u201cSome decision-makers want a pie chart with the overview of acres of wetlands, and data scientists really want to download the information.
