There is no cost or preregistration required to attend the field trips and presentations. Two-hour guided boat trips are $45 per person and do require advanced registration. The free event features numerous car caravan and walking tours scheduled all three days led by field guides from the local Napa-Solano Audubon Society and the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory and other naturalists. Osprey have not been documented to have nested in San Francisco Bay in the 20th or 21st centuries. Interest in these newcomers grows. The latest tool for public access to osprey nesting in San Francisco Bay is the high-definition, dual camera webcam perched above the osprey nest on the whirly crane at the Richmond CA harbor. Installed just about 4 years ago, it can be viewed 24/7 at www.sfbayospreys.org It's hoped that the "SF Bay osprey cam" website will not be confused with the website for the "San Francisco Bay Osprey Days"event, www.sfbayospreydays.org .

  • River, Just North of San Pablo Bay (See Map, P. Vi). Public And
    Chapter 3 BENTHIC INVERTEBRATE SURVEY AT WHITE SLOUGH, VALLEJO, CALIFORNIA Beth Touchette This project is a survey of the benthic (mud-dwelling) invertebrates of White Slough along the Napa River, just north of San Pablo Bay (see map, p. vi). Public and governmental interest has increased in tidal flats and salt marshes such as White Slough because of the recognition that they are very important to resident and migratory animals. Why would anyone be interested in the spineless creatures of the mudflat? Fish and birds are usually considered to have greater commercial and aesthetic importance. One strong reason to study a site's benthic invertebrates is that, unlike birds or fish, they cannot escape deleterious environmental changes. The benthic invertebrates of the White Slough site directly reflect the physical influences of the White Slough ecosystem. Benthic invertebrates reflect environmental influences in two ways, through species diversity and specimen abundance (total abundance). Harsh environmental conditions generally reduce species diversity. Biomass may also go down with environmental changes. However, if a species does ex I ceedingly well in rigorous environmental conditions, biomass could remain constant. Another reason to study the benthic invertebrates of White Slough is that they are an important link in the Napa River Marsh food chain. Thousands of species thrive in the Napa River Marsh biosystem (Baltz, 1931). The most noticeable consumers of mudflat benthic fauna are the shorebirds that rest and feed there on their season migration. Seventy percent of the canvasback ducks in the Pacific Flyway stop in the Napa River Marsh (Baltz, 1981). Shorebirds annually can consume a very significant proportion of estuarine benthic productivity (Nichols, 1977).

  • Flow Convergence Caused by a Salinity Minimum in a Tidal Channel Journal Issue: San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 4(3) Author: Warner, John C., U.S
    Peer Reviewed Title: Flow Convergence Caused by a Salinity Minimum in a Tidal Channel Journal Issue: San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 4(3) Author: Warner, John C., U.S. Geological Survey Schoellhamer, David H., U.S. Geological Survey Burau, Jon R., U.S. Geological Survey Schladow, S. Geoffrey, University of California, Davis Publication Date: 2006 Permalink: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/2m6367vc Keywords: salinity minimum, longitudinal density gradient, San Francisco Bay, converging flow, particle tracking Local Identifier: jmie_sfews_10981 Abstract: Residence times of dissolved substances and sedimentation rates in tidal channels are affected by residual (tidally averaged) circulation patterns. One influence on these circulation patterns is the longitudinal density gradient. In most estuaries the longitudinal density gradient typically maintains a constant direction. However, a junction of tidal channels can create a local reversal (change in sign) of the density gradient. This can occur due to a difference in the phase of tidal currents in each channel. In San Francisco Bay, the phasing of the currents at the junction of Mare Island Strait and Carquinez Strait produces a local salinity minimum in Mare Island Strait. At the location of a local salinity minimum the longitudinal density gradient reverses direction. This paper presents four numerical models that were used to investigate the circulation caused by the salinity minimum: (1) A simple one-dimensional (1D) finite difference model demonstrates that a local salinity minimum is advected into Mare Island Strait from the junction with Carquinez Strait during flood tide. (2) A three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic finite element model is used to compute the tidally averaged circulation in a channel that contains a salinity minimum (a change in the sign of the longitudinal density gradient) and compares that to a channel that contains a longitudinal density gradient in a constant direction.

  • NORTH MARE ISLAND DESCRIPTION and INFORMATION August, 2013
    NORTH MARE ISLAND DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION August, 2013 Executive Summary North Mare Island is a 157 acre commercial and industrial development opportunity located along the San Francisco Bay, 30 minutes from downtown Oakland, 45 minutes from downtown San Francisco and one hour from Sacramento, with direct ferry access to San Francisco, and freeway access via Highway 37 to I-80. This remarkable site is at the gateway to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, with views and access to Bay and River on either side. The site is approved (EIR certified) for 1.2 million square feet of commercial/industrial development. Roughly 125 acres are currently owned by the City of Vallejo, with another 32 acres due to be transferred to the City by the Navy, much of it as soon as late 2014, and the remainder by March 2017. While the site is unique, its development faces some important constraints: Existing highly deteriorated and unsightly buildings left from the Naval base must be demolished; while the City is making progress toward demolishing the worst buildings, City resources are limited. North Mare Island was created by placing fill over Bay mud; this relatively unstable land will require geo-technical design mitigations. Much infrastructure, including sewer, water and power, will need to be redeveloped. For the right development entity, North Mare Island presents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a significant piece of a fast dwindling resource: developable commercial/industrial land within the inner-San Francisco Bay Area market. The City of Vallejo welcomes any bona fide proposal for commercial/industrial use. Residential uses will not be considered.
