The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 awarded a $5,826,000 Project Grant to the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) under the Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126).

The 4-year project aims to: (1) develop strategies to increase beneficial reuse of up to 45,000 tons of flood control channel sediment for habitat restoration; (2) implement pilot projects to restore several acres of tidal marsh and creek habitat; (3) develop visions to reconnect creeks with marshlands to support long-term resilience of up to 95 acres of tidal marsh; and (4) analyze future watershed sediment dynamics under climate change scenarios to inform watershed management recommendations. The project will engage a range of stakeholders, including regulatory agencies, restoration practitioners, and community groups, and includes several sub-awards to partners like Sonoma Land Trust, Ducks Unlimited, and Friends of the Petaluma River to support community engagement and technical analyses. The outcomes from this project are intended to guide sediment management and habitat restoration efforts throughout the San Francisco Bay region.
