San Francisco Bay/Inland Delta Biological Case Study Public 
Workshop

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the San Francisco Bay/Inland Delta 
Biological Case Study Public Workshop. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service is funding three biological case studies in fulfillment of the 
Biological Study requirements of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance 
Prevention and Control Act of 1990. The studies provide the basis for 
reporting to Congress on whether aquatic nuisance species threaten the 
ecological characteristics and economic uses of waters of the United 
States other than the Great Lakes. The Service strategy for fulfilling 
this requirement includes a public workshop after each Biological Case 
Study is completed to ensure broad and comprehensive review and input, 
especially with regard to impacts of aquatic nuisance species. 
Specifically, this workshop will include an update on San Francisco Bay 
and Inland Delta aquatic nuisance species invasions and associated 
impacts, provide a forum for stakeholders and interested parties to 
evaluate, comment on, and add to the San Francisco Bay/Inland Delta 
Biological Case Study, and provide an opportunity for participant to 
provide additional information and make associated recommendations. The 
workshop is open to the public. Interested persons may make oral 
statements at the meeting or submit written statements for 
consideration.

DATES: The Workshop will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on 
December 10, 1997.

ADDRESSES: The Workshop will be held at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers' Bay Model Visitor Center, 2100 Bridgeway, Sausalito, 
California.
