Protecting biodiversity and facilitating landscape-scale tidal marsh restoration: Management of invasive Spartina in the San Francisco Estuary”

Guest Speaker: Drew Kerr and Simon Gunner, California State Coastal Conservancy’s Invasive Spartina Project (ISP)

Since 2005, the Coastal Conservancy’s Invasive Spartina Project has used airboats, genetic testing, sophisticated GIS, and a lot of hard, muddy work to push back the invasive plants that threaten the San Francisco Bay estuaries and the endangered species, like the Ridgway’s rail and salt marsh harvest mouse, that live there. Learn about how hometown heroes are doing their part to address the global biodiversity crisis.
