Current Issues In Tidal Marsh Restoration -- $tIndex 330 $aThe San Francisco Bay, the biggest estuary on the west coast of North America, was once surrounded by an almost unbroken chain of tidal wetlands, a fecund sieve of ecosystems connecting the land and the Bay. Today, most of these wetlands have disappeared under the demands of coastal development, and those that remain cling precariously to a drastically altered coastline. This volume is a collaborative effort of nearly 40 scholars in which the wealth of scientific knowledge available on tidal wetlands of the San Francisco Estuary is summarized and integrated. This book addresses issues of taxonomy, geomorphology, toxicology, the impact of climate change, ecosystem services, public policy, and conservation, and it is an essential resource for ecologists, environmental scientists, coastal policymakers, and researchers interested in estuaries and conserving and restoring coastal wetlands around the world. 410 0$aStephen Bechtel fund book in ecology and the environment. 606 $aWetlands$zCalifornia$zSan Francisco Bay Area 606 $aEstuaries$zCalifornia$zSan Francisco Bay Area 606 $aEcology$zCalifornia$zSan Francisco Bay Area 607 $aSan Francisco Bay Watershed (Calif.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWetlands 615 0$aEstuaries 615 0$aEcology 676 $a333.7309794/6 701 $aPalaima$b Arnas$01030345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464981503321 996 $aEcology, conservation, and restoration of tidal marshes$92447189 997 $aUNINA
