  • The California Delta

    The Delta plays a major role in the state’s prosperity by providing at least a portion of the drinking water for 24 million Californians, fueling a $31 billion agricultural industry and serving as an important habitat to more than 750 animal and plant species and many non-native species, including waterfowl, birds of prey, sport fish and species listed as threatened or endangered: Delta smelt, Chinook salmon and steelhead.

    The Tule Red Restoration Project represents an ideal location to restore tidal marsh in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta. The project will meet a portion of the state and federal requirement to restore 8,000 acres of wetland habitat in the Delta.
