Description:
This technical report presents Point Blue Conservation Science's development of scenarios of climate change impacts on tidal marsh vegetation and bird species from 2010-2110 based on low or high rates of sea level rise (0.52 or 1.65 m in 100 yr) and low or high suspended sediment availability.
Results are discussed for the following:
(1) assessed potential climate change effects on San Francisco Estuary (Suisun, San Pablo and San Francisco Bays) tidal marsh habitats and bird populations representing a range of federal and state special status listings: Clapper Rail, Black Rail, Common Yellowthroat, Marsh Wren, and Song Sparrow;
(2) identified priority sites for tidal marsh conservation and restoration;
(3) developed a readily updatable web-based mapping tool for managers to interactively display and query results; and,
(4) communicated conservation priorities to management agencies, conservation organizations and the public.
