San Francisco Bay and the Delta combine to form the West Coast's largest Estuary. The Estuary conveys the waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers into the Pacific Ocean. The Estuary encompasses roughly 1,600 square miles, drains over 40 percent of the state, contains about 5 million acre-feet of water at mean tide, and redistributes about 160 million cubic yards of sediment every year. Its Delta and watershed provide drinking water to 18 million Californians, and irrigation water to 4.5 million acres of farmland. The Estuary also hosts a rich diversity of aquatic life. Each year, two-thirds of the state's salmon pass through the Bay and Delta, as do nearly half of the waterfowl and shorebirds migrating along the Pacific Flyway. Finally, Estuary waters enable the nation's fourth largest metropolitan region to pursue shipping, farming, fishing, recreation, commerce and other activities. In the Bay area about 90% of tidal wetlands have been lost. Major causes are conversion for farmland, salt ponds, and garbage dumps, while other areas are filled to create land for building. Wetlands provide invaluable habitat for fish and wildlife, improve water quality, protect urban and agricultural areas from flooding, and serve many other vital functions within the San Francisco Estuary. Preserving wetlands is one important key to the environmental health of the San Francisco Bay and Delta. Another vital key is restoration of wetlands to ensure the quality of aquatic systems, plants, animals, and human life.

The establishment of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) in 1965 was a watershed event in the history of environmental protection, representing one of the first crucial steps taken anywhere to protect and manage coastal resources on a large and complex scale. It has also proven to be one of the most successful, providing the nation and the world with a model of regional resource management that has been emulated in varying forms.

The Bay Area has been at the forefront of wetlands restoration with projects completed in the past few years and many restoration projects are underway or planned. PEMA as arranged a panel of experts who have hands-on experience with wetlands issues and will share the challenges, successes and considerations for the future of this vital environmental topic.

Jim will present a summary of the technology market place in major international markets such as Southeast Asia, South America, and Europe.

How can you or your client evaluate the use of environmental technology?
