Activity 2

The Tidal Wetland Program- TWP is a multi-agency effort focused on addressing the most critical ecological challenge facing the tidal portions of Elkhorn Slough. Historic modifications of Slough hydrology has led to the dramatic loss of vegetated marsh land. In collaboration with over 100 scientists, resource managers, local residents and other stakeholders, the Tidal Wetland Program led an Ecosystem Based Management approach to arrest this loss of habitat and restore a more natural function to the slough system. The result of this is the implementation of more natural tidal flow to the Parson's slough complex on the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve which protected of over 450 acres of tidal wetlands in the Elkhorn system.

RAM-The Research and Monitoring program on the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is the primary vehicle for conducting the water quality monitoring, habitat monitoring and biological monitoring on the Reserve and throughout the Elkhorn Slough Watershed. The research and monitoring team has also been responsible for the publication of a series of peer reviewed scientific publications, listed on the website: www.elkhornslough.org. This is an ongoing program funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
