2018 Regional Monitoring Plan (RMP) Bird Egg Monitoring Sampling and Analysis Plan

San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) | March 5th, 2018

The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) monitors concentrations of contaminants in bird egg tissue as an indicator of water quality.

The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) monitors concentrations of contaminants in bird egg tissue as an indicator of water quality. In 2018, the RMP will collect bird egg samples from various locations in the Bay as part of routine Status and Trends Monitoring. The target species will be Double-crested Cormorants and Forster’s Terns.

This report describes activities associated with the 2018 bivalve deployment cruise of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP). Measurement of contaminant concentrations in transplanted bivalves accumulated during dry season deployment is designed to provide long-term data on the bioaccumulation of select trace elements and trace organic compounds in tissue throughout the Estuary.

This report outlines details from the annual Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in the San Francisco Estuary (RMP) sediment cruise, conducted August 14 – 21, 2018. The Regional Monitoring Program conducts routine monitoring of water, sediment and biological tissue. The current study design calls for monitoring of water and bivalves every two years and sediment every four years. Bird egg monitoring (cormorant and terns) is conducted triennially, while sport fish are monitored on a five-year rotation.

The Salton Sea Management Program (SSMP) made progress in 2020 toward reducing exposed lakebed and creating habitat at the Salton Sea (Sea). Even amid challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, delivering projects that improve conditions for residents as well as wildlife at the Sea remains a key priority for the Newsom Administration. The SSMP worked closely with local, State, Tribal and federal partners to advance important work in 2020 and is poised to build on that momentum in 2021.

2022 was a year of visible progress and momentum for the Salton Sea Management Program (SSMP) and partners. The first large-scale restoration project in the Sea’s history achieved major construction milestones, while community-oriented projects and vegetation enhancement made headway around the Sea in collaboration with state, federal and local entities.

The Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program (MLRP) increases regional capacity for repurposing irrigated agricultural land to uses that reduce reliance on groundwater while providing community health, economic well-being, water supply, habitat, renewable energy, and climate benefits. The program provides funding for regional block grants, tribal grants, and a Statewide Support Entity to provide technical assistance to block grantees and support progress toward program goals.

Significant, measurable progress continued at the Salton Sea (Sea) over the last year. The largest restoration project in the Sea’s history neared completion, suppressing dust and restoring habitat across thousands of acres at the south end of the Sea. In other areas along the Sea, hundreds of acres now host native vegetation recently planted to suppress dust over coming decades. These plants have taken root, are growing and are beginning to serve their purpose. This year also witnessed the first major investment by federal agencies to stabilize the Sea; the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) granted $70 million to accelerate local restoration projects.

The State's Salton Sea restoration and management efforts continued to show significant, demonstrable progress in 2024 – achieving key milestones and accelerating the pace of critical project delivery functions. With new federal funding, the Salton Sea Management Program (SSMP) broke ground to expand what was already the largest restoration project in the Sea’s history, and further expansion is being initiated to suppress dust and restore habitat on up to 9,000 acres at the south end of the Sea. In other areas along the Sea, over 1,300 acres — spanning roughly five miles of shoreline — now host native vegetation recently planted to suppress dust over the coming decades.
