🐦 Conservancy Project Highlight | Staten Island Wetland Restoration 💧

Here’s a peek at some of the construction underway on Staten Island in San Joaquin County. Funded by the Delta Conservancy through a $6.8 million Nature Based Solutions grant, The Nature Conservancy in California is restoring more than 400 acres (with plans to increase that to about 1,000 acres) for carbon farming on the deeply subsided island.

Staten Island is used as a sustainable, wildlife-friendly farm, and the wetlands will ensure long-term viability by complementing the farming operations through recirculated water and subsidence reversal.

There are more than 150,000 acres of deeply subsided, highly organic peat soils in the Delta that increase flood risk, place added stress on levees, and release large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We are committed to furthering nature-based climate solutions in the Delta that show how subsided lands can be managed for the benefit of the region’s ecosystems and communities.

“You cannot overstate the importance of the Delta for all Californians,” says Delta Conservancy Executive Officer Campbell Ingram. “Over the past 15 years, the Delta agencies and all of our partners have made great progress toward implementing the Delta Reform Act, and we look forward to continued collaboration on the work remaining.”

Fifteen years after the California Legislature passed the Delta Reform Act to strengthen governance for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the three dedicated Delta state agencies are reflecting on the progress made and the work remaining to protect water supply reliability, ecosystem health, and the Delta as an evolving place. 💧🌱🏠

The Delta Stewardship Council, Delta Protection Commission, and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy are proud to announce the co-release of 15 Years of Progress: Rising to the Challenge of the Delta Reform Act ➡️ https://rebrand.ly/mr5xwni. 📄

The report captures key accomplishments and efforts to advance the Legislature’s vision for a more resilient Delta. Achievements span the adoption of the first-ever Delta Plan, investment of millions of dollars in science and ecosystem restoration, designation of California’s first National Heritage Area, and much more.

Addressing the region’s most pressing challenges requires strong collaboration among the Delta agencies and diverse partners at the local, state, and federal levels. Whether you are just beginning to learn about the Delta or are familiar with it, we invite you to discover how our agencies have independently and collaboratively implemented the Delta Reform Act over the past 15 years – and to learn what comes next.
