Following up on 福利姬视频 California's in San Francisco Bay, our staff went out to the site recently to prepare for the second phase of the project. The collaborative project between 福利姬视频 California and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has already helped revitalize nearly 200 acres of prime Ridgway鈥檚 Rail and Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse habitat. Our climate-adaptive pilot project is already being looked at by decision makers throughout the Bay Area as a great example of sea-level rise resiliency through beneficial reuse of sediment.
The video is of a marsh pond draining the way it鈥檚 supposed to. Before our project, the water stagnated, killing habitat and creating breeding ground for mosquitos.
