Bustling with oil tankers, laced with pollutants, and crowded with forty-six cities, the bay is still home to healthy eelgrass beds, young Dungeness crabs and sharks, and millions of waterbirds. Written in an entertaining style for a wide audience, Natural History of San Francisco Bay delves into an array of topics including fish and wildlife, ocean and climate cycles, endangered and invasive species, and the path from industrialization to environmental restoration. More than sixty scientists, activists, and resource managers share their views and describe their work-tracing mercury through the aquatic ecosystem, finding ways to convert salt ponds back to tidal wetlands, anticipating the repercussions of climate change, and more. Fully illustrated and packed with stories, "es, and facts, the guide also tells how San Francisco Bay sparked an environmental movement that now reaches across the country. 410 0$aCalifornia Natural History Guides 606 $aEstuarine ecology$zCalifornia$zSan Francisco Bay 606 $aEndangered ecosystems$zSan Francisco Bay$zCalifornia 606 $aRestoration ecology$zCalifornia$zSan Francisco Bay 610 $aactivists. 610 $aaquatic ecosystem. 610 $abay area. 610 $abiodiversity. 610 $abodies of water. 610 $acalifornia history. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $aclimate change. 610 $aclimate cycles. 610 $aeelgrass beds. 610 $aendangered species. 610 $aenvironmental movement. 610 $aenvironmentalists. 610 $afish and wildlife. 610 $aindustrialization. 610 $ainvasive species. 610 $anatural history. 610 $anatural sciences. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoil tankers. 610 $apacific ocean. 610 $apollution. 610 $aprimer. 610 $aresource management. 610 $asan francisco bay. 610 $ascientists. 610 $atidal wetlands. 610 $atravel guide. 610 $awaterbirds. 615 0$aEstuarine ecology 615 0$aEndangered ecosystems 615 0$aRestoration ecology 676 $a508.794/6 700 $aRubissow Okamoto$b Ariel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01463223 702 $aWong$b Kathleen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781315803321 996 $aNatural History of San Francisco Bay$93672457 997 $aUNINA
