The Salt Marshes: Then and Now February 19, 2011

Location: Visitor Center, Fremont. Approximately 85% of San Francisco Bay's wetlands have disappeared over the last 200 years due to industry and development, impacting the wildlife that lived in and around them. Some of the plants and animals have made a comeback and a few have adapted to the changes. Learn the history of the salt marshes and the plant and animal life affected by the changes. The presentation includes a slide show followed by a walk to view a salt marsh and the remains of a salt evaporation pond. Led by Gregg Aronson.
