Wetland Tracker pilot well received by Regional Water Quality Control Board

Staff from the Regional Water Quality Control Board presented to their Board today findings regarding their pilot use of the Wetland Tracker, a wetland project and habitat tracking system developed at SFEI. Their findings conclude, “...the Wetland Tracker has the potential to be useful in this Region and across the State to evaluate proposed projects that would impact wetlands and riparian areas and to plan wetland and riparian mitigation and restoration projects. Information gathered by Wetland Tracker can inform policy development, assist program management, track net habitat losses and gains, determine regulatory compliance, and prioritize enforcement.”
