投资未来
促进萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲的可持续发展 
  

萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲与加州其他任何地方都不一样. 同时也是心脏的心脏 国家的供水系统, 河口是超过35种濒危本土动植物的家园, 数十个历史悠久的社区和数十万英亩的农田. The fertile peat soil of its islands produces an estimated $965 million in agricultural crops annually and its ecosystem supports the commercial salmon industry on the West Coast. 三角洲同时也是全州水利基础设施的重要一环, 一个重要但脆弱的生态系统, 是我们经济的引擎,也是500人的家园,000人. It’s also a region that has witnessed major land-use and landscape changes over the past centuries.

三角洲曾经是一片广阔的沼泽地,覆盖着规则和野生动物. 19世纪中期, settlers built levees to drain and reclaim the land and today about 95% of the original wetlands and floodplains are gone. In this highly altered environment, non-native species have thrived, over-running native species. 条纹鲈鱼, 亚洲蛤和许多其他入侵者, 大大小小的, 吃的要么是当地居民,要么是他们赖以为生的食物.

认识到稳定三角洲和保障水资源未来的重要性, 大都会购买了一些 三角洲岛 in 2016. 使我们对国家和地区水资源的承诺更加透明, 大都会董事会正式通过了一项更新的 《湾三角洲政策纲要 2022年10月. As a responsible landowner and conscientious neighbor invested in environmental stewardship, 我们致力于以科学为基础的流域管理, multi-benefit environmental initiatives and community-based partnerships with local stakeholders on these islands and throughout the region.

韦伯小道的多效益景观修复与耕作

A public meeting on July 10 introduced local interests and other stakeholders to two multi-benefit projects to improve Webb Tract, one of four islands in the 萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲 owned by Metropolitan Water District.

作为与萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲保护协会合作的一部分, the hybrid meeting at Big Break Community Center in Oakley focused on the Rice Conversion and Wetland Restoration projects planned for Webb Tract. The projects are funded by the Nature-based Solutions Grant Program administered by the Delta Conservancy.
