A lot is going on in the world of wetlands that surround San Francisco Bay. In this August program series, we hear from three key Joint Venture partners about local birding hotspots, current wetlands restoration projects and the release of the first regional State of the Birds Report. Birding Around the Bay With Beth Huning: The first program in the series features San Francisco Bay Joint Venture Coordinator Beth Huning who shares a plethora of Bay Area birding spots, with some birding identification tips, what you are likely to see and when, as well as other natural history events happening here in the coming months. What is Going On? With SFBJV Conservation Delivery Chair Marc Holmes: On the second program in this series, Marc talks about some of the Joint Venturersquo;s more current wetland restoration projects that are turning the tide on a history of wetland destruction and bringing back wildlife habitat around the Bay. The SF Bay State of the Birds Report with SFBJV Outreach Chair Melissa Pitkin: In 2009 the first State of the Birds Report was distributed nationally. This September, PRBO Conservation Science and the SFBJV, along with over 20 contributing bird conservation scientists, are releasing the first regional State of the Birds Report for the Bay Area. (This is the final report in the Summer on the Wetlands series.)

 San Francisco Bay’s Subtidal Habitat | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:01:01

San Francisco Bay is said to be the most studied estuary in the world but most of that effort has been focused on the shoreline and tidal wetland areas. On this report, Marilyn Latta, Project Manager with the California State Coastal Conservancy, tells us about the newly released "San Francisco Bay Subtidal Habitat Goals Report." It focuses on restoration needs and opportunities for the subtidal habitats in the bay which includes all of the submerged area beneath the waterrsquo;s surface: mud, shell, sand, rocks, artificial structures, shellfish beds, over 3,700 acres of eelgrass beds, macroalgal beds, and the water column itself.
