The CALFED Science Program is offering its BREACH III grant to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to advance the understanding of restoration thresholds in evolving freshwater-tidal marshes. This grant is specifically for integrating the scientific and technical knowledge of restoration trajectories with the changing risks of flooding and levee erosion, a critical need for environmental management. It aims to comprehensively describe the biotic and abiotic effects resulting from passive restoration efforts on complex tidally influenced freshwater marsh ecosystems. The work will be completed over a three-year period, with the first two years focusing on essential field data collection and the third year dedicated to robust model development, thorough synthesis of findings, and broad information dissemination.
