With this task in mind, this research project investigates the needs of existing plant communities in the San plant communities Francisco Bay, explores how ecological dynamics are changing, of the Bay Edge and ultimately proposes a toolkit of tactics that designers can use to inform site designs.

  • California Clapper Rail (Rallus Longirostris Obsoletus) 5-Year Review
    California clapper rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus ) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photo by Allen Edwards U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office Sacramento, California April 2013 5-YEAR REVIEW California clapper rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. The California clapper rail was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Preservation Act in 1970, so was not subject to the current listing processes and, therefore, did not include an analysis of threats to the California clapper rail. In this 5-year review, we will consider listing of this species as endangered or threatened based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of this species. We will consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed.

Wilson Way Stockton, CA 95205 PRBO California Clapper Rail Monitoring Report, 2005-2008 FINAL Abstract PRBO Conservation Science conducted call-count surveys for California Clapper Rail ( Rallus longirostrus obsoletus ) at 53 sites throughout the San Francisco Bay Estuary from 2005 through 2008. To maximize the spatial coverage of sites, surveys were coordinated with partners conducting call-count surveys (Avocet Research Associates, California Department of Fish and Game, California Coastal Conservancy’s Invasive Spartina Project, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) resulting in a total of 180 sites surveyed, covering all high-quality habitat and the majority of lower-quality habitat . We estimated annual site-specific density estimates using distance sampling and program DISTANCE and detected a negative short-term trend of -20.6% (±3.8%) from 2005 through 2008. There were no significant changes in densities from 2005 to 2006 or from 2006 to 2007. From 2007 to 2008, an Estuary-wide negative change was detected (-46.0%, ±6.75%) which was driven by a dramatic decrease in South San Francisco Bay (-57.4% ±5.0%). We tested the power to detect a 10-year trend for five different monitoring scenarios and found that detecting an Estuary-wide negative trend of 13.9% or greater over a 10-year period with 80% power is possible under the current monitoring design (90 sites/year with effort allocated equally among sites).
