The 2022 estuary blueprint is the result of two years of work and includes the input of over 200 partners

A unifying, collaborative vision, the estuary blueprint includes four goals that represent the long term (2050) vision for the future of the SAN francisco estuary, 14 objectives that detail desired outcomes that make progress towards achieving goals, and 25 actions that lay out a set of priority tasks to be accomplished over the next five years to advance one or more objectives and goals. The estuary blueprint builds upon the 2015 and 2019 state of the estuary reports by linking management responses to the reports' findings and using the reports' health indicators to track long term outcomes of the actions where possible, thus better integrating sfep's science and planning documents and facilitating an adaptive management approach for sfep and the region. In coordination with partners including the SAN francisco estuary institute, US EPA, and the delta stewardship council, sfep is transitioning from a static state of the estuary report to a dynamic, web-based platform to report on the health of the estuary. This assistance agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $850,000. See terms and conditions.activities:activities in the workplan include progress under each of these objectives of the estuary blueprint: objectives a. Protect, restore, and enhance ecological conditions and processes that support self-sustaining natural communities. B. Eliminate or reduce threats to natural communities. C. Conduct scientific research and monitoring to measure the status of natural communities, develop and refine management actions, and track progress towards management targets. D. Increase resilience of tidal habitats and tributaries to climate change. E. Increase resilience of communities at risk from climate change impacts while promoting and protecting natural resources. F. Promote integrated, coordinated, multi-benefit approaches to increasing resiliency. G. Increase drought resistance and water efficiency and reduce demand on imported water. H. Improve freshwater flow patterns, quantity, and timing to better support natural resources. I. Reduce contaminants entering the system and improve water quality. J. Build public support for the protection and restoration of the estuary. K. Strengthen regional leadership in support of estuary health. L. Promote efficient and coordinated regional governance. M. Incorporate the best available social science and cultural knowledge when protecting and improving the estuary. N. Engage frontline, underserved, and indigenous communities as partners in protecting, restoring, and enhancing the estuary.subrecipient:one subaward is identified for $66,283 for sea grant fellow work.outcomes:some of the outcomes expected include: plan and host the 14TH state of the estuary conference to be held in the fall of 2025 to inform the interested public of improvements to the estuary's heath; work with core partners to continue the development of a centralized, integrated, dynamic, accessible web-based platform for reporting on the health of the estuary; support SAN francisco estuary institute's sediment solutions: integrated sediment management for watershed-bayland ecosystem resilience project to develop sediment reuse strategies for increasing the reuse of flood control channel sediment; assist the SAN francisco BAY regional water quality control board in reviewing and commenting on environmental documents related to section 401 of the clean water act; advance implementation of the wetland regional monitoring program for the SAN francisco estuary to monitor mature and restored tidal marsh habitat to improve efficiency of permitting and monitoring of restoration projects and to evaluate condition of the tidal marsh ecosystem at the regional scale; regional program to advance nature-based shoreline (NBS) adaptation, the truw program creates c
