Rivers & Delta
The Bay Institute is a leader in the effort to win and implement protections for native Delta and Central Valley aquatic species.
Our efforts help provide a healthy ecosystem where native species can flourish and be resilient.
Land retirement, source control and alternative land uses are the basis for future water management.
The Bay Institute is the first organization to use scientific indicators to measure the health of the Bay.
We have identified high priority rivers to protect and restore throughout the watershed.
Even though salmon populations are small fraction of historic numbers, there are still places where you can view them spawn.
The Bay Institute’s Rivers & Delta program employs scientific and policy expertise to promote reforms in the way California manages its water resources and protects the ecological values of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary and its watershed.
Building on The Bay Institute's original, core mission of using research and advocacy to secure increased freshwater flows to the Bay, the Rivers & Delta program staff work to protect the estuary's endangered aquatic species, restore a healthy estuarine ecosystem, reconnect the estuary to its watershed, stop agricultural water pollution, and measure how the ecosystem is responding to human activities.
