SF Bay Tidal Datums (2016)

<font color='#000000'><span style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'>This study is the first comprehensive publication of tidal datums and extreme tides for San Francisco Bay (Bay) since the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) published itsSan Francisco Bay Tidal Stage vs. Frequency Study in 1984 (USACE 1984). The USACE study was groundbreaking at the time of publication, presenting tidal datums and the “100-year tide” elevation for 53 locations around the Bay.  The purpose of this study is to update and expand on the USACE study and to present daily and extreme tidal information for more than 900 locations along the Bay shoreline. Tidal datums, described further in Section 2 , are standard elevations defined by a certain phase of the tide (e.g., mean high tide, mean low tide). A tidal datum is used as a reference to measure and define local water levels, and as such is specific to local hydrodynamic processes and is not easily extended from one area to another without substantiating measurements or analysis. Many industries and activities rely on tidal datums, including shipping and navigation, coastal flood management, coastal development, and wetland restoration. Extreme tidal elevations are estimated for less-frequent extreme tides (e.g., 2-year tides to 500-year tides [tides with a 50.0 percent to 0.2 percent annual chance of occurrence, respectively]). </span></font><div><font color='#000000'><span style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'><br /></span></font></div><div><font color='#000000'><span style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'>Knowledge of the 100-year tide, or the water elevation with a 1 percent annual chance of occurrence, is critical for shoreline planning, floodplain management, and sea level rise (SLR) adaptation efforts. This study presents detailed daily and extreme tide information for the entirety of the Bay shoreline. This data set will support floodplain management efforts;  shoreline vulnerability and risk analyses; shoreline engineering, design, and permitting; ecological studies; and appropriate sea level rise adaptation planning. The goal of this study is to provide data that support a wide-range of planning efforts around the Bay, particularly as communities seek to understand—and begin to adapt to—rising sea levels. </span></font></div><div><font color='#000000'><span style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'><br /></span></font></div><div><font color='#000000'><span style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'>You can access the full report at: </span></font><a href='http://www.adaptingtorisingtides.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/20160429.SFBay_Tidal-Datums_and_Extreme_Tides_Study.FINAL_.pdf' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>http://www.adaptingtorisingtides.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/20160429.SFBay_Tidal-Datums_and_Extreme_Tides_Study.FINAL_.pdf</a>.</div>

Interagency Ecological Program: Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta boat electrofishing survey during the critical drought of 2014

The objective of this study was to assess the relative distributions of non-native resident fishes occurring in littoral habitats during the drought year of 2014 within the western and northern portion of California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta), USA. A number of non-native resident fish species (e.g., black bass, Micropterus spp.) in the Delta have undergone remarkable increases in density in the early 2000s and they are potential predators of endangered native fishes such as Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). The Delta makes up the tidal freshwater portion of the San Francisco Estuary in California; however, the critically dry year of 2014 caused a considerable intrusion of salinity field within this region and may have caused a shift in the resident fish community. To evaluate the response of non-native resident fishes to this salinity intrusion, a boat electrofishing survey was conducted in November of 2014 in the western and northern part of the Delta by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Lodi, California Office as part of the Interagency Ecological Program for the San Francisco Estuary. Replicate sampling was done for each site in this study in order to account for false zeroes through the estimation of capture probability.

Interagency Ecological Program and US Fish and Wildlife Service: Enhanced Delta Smelt Monitoring Program Experimental Larval Survey Data

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Experimental Larval Survey was designed and implemented by the Enhanced Delta Smelt Monitoring Program to assess alternative sampling methods for monitoring the larval life stages of the federally endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) within the San Francisco Estuary, California, USA. From 2018 to 2019, four different sampling methods (Beach Seine, Manta Trawl Net, 20-mm Surface Trawl Net, 20-mm Midwater Trawl Net) nested in time and space were used to estimate the occupancy rate, relative density, and size distribution of larval Delta Smelt across sampling methods and water depth strata within the San Francisco Estuary.

Interagency Ecological Program and US Fish and Wildlife Service: Juvenile/Larval Fish and Zooplankton collections at Liberty Island, California 2002-2005 & 2013-2019

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office (LFWO) Delta Juvenile Fish Monitoring Program (DJFMP) has intermittently sampled Liberty Island with various equipment since 2002. Liberty Island was a reclaimed agricultural island until it flooded in 1997-1998 and we subsequently left to passively restore as a tidally influenced wetland. Larval trawls and beach were the only sampling methods used during both early (2002-2005) and late (2009-2019) sampling periods. The main purpose of the sampling was to gather information about fish presence and abundance in Liberty Island during the passive restoration, with an emphasis on reproductive and early life-stages of native species. Larval trawls, or tow nets, were used to catch larval fish in 2004-2005 and again from 2013-2019. Zooplankton nets were used 2013-2019. Water quality measurements were collected alongside each tow.

Interagency Ecological Program: USFWS Delta Boat Electrofishing Survey

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Delta Boat Electrofishing Survey was designed to estimate spatial and temporal trends in abundance, occupancy, capture probabilities, and related environmental drivers of fish assemblages across nearshore littoral habitats within the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The USFWS Lodi Field Office in collaboration with the United States Geological Survey developed the survey in 2018 to expand fish monitoring and inferences in nearshore habitats not monitored by long-term USFWS beach seine surveys within the San Francisco Estuary. The survey uses a robust statistical framework, including a stratified random sampling design and segmented transects that act as spatial replicates for occupancy modeling.
