Sonoma Land Trust (SLT), San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Ducks Unlimited (DU), Point Blue Conservation Service (Point Blue), Environmental Science Associates (ESA) | May 1st, 2020
The purpose of the Strategy is to provide Sonoma Land Trust and partners with a clear and comprehensive plan that coordinates the protection, acquisition, restoration, and enhancement of diverse baylands habitats (e.g., subtidal, mudflat, tidal marsh, brackish marsh, freshwater marsh, upland-wetland transition), integrates natural processes to increase climate resilience of the Sonoma Creek Baylands, identifies appropriate public access, and provides recommendations for the redesign of SR 37 and increased connectivity under and across the SMART rail line where they pass through the Sonoma Creek Baylands.
