Fact Sheets

Fact Sheets

The SFCWA Strategic Plan has an implementing strategy that guides the Science Program to,

“Coordinate research and publish findings on Delta ecosystem stressors towards developing management actions that further California’s Co-Equal Goals of a restored Delta ecosystem and water supply reliability.”

Fact Sheets are being developed for all of SFCWA funded science projects. These fact sheets translate technical findings for managers, in order to help guide management decisions.  Each fact sheet will highlight the significant findings, conclusions, deliverable, and next steps of our past and current projects. These fact sheets are apart of our ongoing communication effort and lay a road map of where SFCWA Science priorities have been in the past, and where it should focus in the future.

The following projects have Fact Sheets available for download:
