Introduction
San Francisco Bay Estuary Lab
Due April. 6th by 3:00 PM
San Francisco Bay (Fig. 1) is an extensive and shallow estuary.
Approximately 40% of California’s water drains out to the

Pacific Ocean through the
bay. Think about that for a minute… California is the 3rd
largest state in terms of
area, and the area that drains through the San Francisco Bay is
larger than 30 states
in the US! The Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, whose
headwaters (where the
rivers begin) are in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, carry roughly
90% of the water
flowing into the bay.
Figure 1: Historical view (1770-1820) of the San Francisco Bay,
which includes San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay
(US Geological Survey, 2006).
As seen in Figure 1, the land area surrounding the San
Francisco Bay was
heavily influenced by tidal action. The bay has lost
approximately 80% of its
historical tidal wetlands in response to human and industrial
activities including
development pressures within and around the bay. Tidal
wetlands are critical areas
for ecosystems, flood prevention, and sediment management.
These wetlands are
sensitive habitats for small mammals, migratory birds and fish
species, many of
which are threatened or endangered.

Watershed & Estuary Background
A watershed, also called a drainage basin, is the area in which
all water,
sediments, and dissolved materials drain from the land into a
common body of
water, such as a river, lake, estuary, or ocean. A watershed
encompasses not only
the water but also the surrounding land from which the water
drains. Watersheds
range in size from huge areas like the Mississippi River
drainage basin to small
areas like your backyard.
Whether large or small, a watershed’s characteristics can
greatly affect how
water flows through it. Heavy storms may cause streams to rise
rapidly. Human-
made features of the watershed like dams or large paved areas
can change stream
flow and alter the watershed. If the terrain is steep, changes in
stream flow due to
runoff can be significant.
Water quality is critically impacted by everything that goes on
within the
watershed. Mining, forestry, agriculture, construction practices,
urban runoff from
streets, parking lots, chemically-treated lawns and gardens,
failing septic systems,
and improperly treated municipal sewage discharges all affect
water quality.
Reducing pollution and protecting water quality requires
identifying, regulating,

monitoring, and controlling potential sources of pollution. Some
examples of control
practices include protecting stream banks and shorelines by
maintaining vegetated
buffer strips, treating all wastes to remove harmful pollutants,
or using grass-lined
catchment basins in urban areas to trap sediment and pollutants.
Also, protecting
wetlands is essential since they are important in slowing runoff,
absorbing
floodwaters, and cleaning storm water.
Estuaries lie at the mouth of watersheds where fresh water
meets ocean
water. San Francisco Bay is a shallow, extremely large estuary
that drains about
40% of California. Nearly 90% of the fresh water flowing into
the bay comes from
the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Before draining into
the Suisun Bay, both
rivers’ drainage creates the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Fig.
2). The Delta is a
vast network of channels, agricultural lands and fresh water
wetlands. Suisun Bay is
where fresh water begins mixing with salt water from the
Pacific Ocean. Technically,
both rivers flow into Suisun Bay, which flows through the
Carquinez Strait to meet
with the Napa River at the entrance to San Pablo Bay, which
then connects at its
south end to San Francisco Bay. This entire group of
interconnected bays is referred
to as the San Francisco Bay.

Suisun Bay (US Geological Survey, 2003).
Activity Summary
You will investigate how sustainability is being addressed in
practices and
policies around an aspect of the San Francisco Bay estuary. You
will need to choose
one topic from the following list, explore online resources, and
write a report about
the topic of your choosing from the following list of topics:
• Disposal of hazardous San Francisco Bay dredging materials
• Earthquake liquefaction hazards around the Bay Area
• Planning for sea level rise around the Bay Area
• Bay Area wetlands restoration projects: past, present and
future
• Impacts of filling historical wetlands around the Bay Area
• Stormwater pollution prevention around the Bay Area
• Oil spill hazard mitigation in the San Francisco Bay
• Wastewater pollution prevention around the Bay Area
• Upstream dam construction effects on the estuary health
Your report will be a summary of how urban planners, research
scientists, water

managers, environmental groups, etc. are addressing the issues
facing the San
Francisco Bay estuary. Therefore, you should address the
hypotheses, data, and
conclusions that are driving practices and policies related to the
specific topic
you’ve chosen to investigate. Your report needs follow the basic
report format (title,
introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion, references/works
cited, figures and
tables).
Deliverable
Write a 1,000 word report about the topic of your choosing from
the list of
topics detailed above. Your report will be graded on
completeness, original work,
grammar & punctuation, and proper formatting.
You are required to reference a minimum of five (5) credible
sources and
include a references section. In addition to a references section,
be sure you use in-
text citations to these sources as their information comes up in
your paper. Proper
citation is NOT just providing a website URL. A proper citation
is providing the
author(s) last name and year of publication, if no specific author
is given, cite the
name of publishing agency (see citations attached to figures

above for an example).
If you are unsure of proper citation formatting, ask Google or
watch the following
SFSU Library tutorial. I don’t care which specific format you
use, e.g. APA, MLA,
Chicago, etc., as long as it is consistent! A credible source
includes journal papers,
scientific reports (USGS, EPA, NOAA, etc.), newspaper
articles, textbooks, etc. NOTE:
Wikipedia is NOT a credible source. If you include tables or
figures, there needs
to be proper captions (as exampled in the figures used in this
lab).
Figures and tables are not required, but please include them if
you think they
will help with the overall quality of your report. If you include
any figures and
tables, you need to include captions (as demonstrated in the
figures above). If you
use figures and/or tables from an outside resource, i.e. not
generated yourself, make
sure to include a reference in the caption and in the references
section.
