Interested Parties:
Enclosed for your review is a copy of a report entitled San Francisco Estuary Baylands Ecosystem Goals.
This draft report was prepared by the San Francisco Bay Area Wetlands Ecosystem Goals Project.
The draft report describes the habitat changes needed to help ensure healthy populations of fish and wildlife in San Francisco Bay. It presents these changes as an overall vision and as site-specific actions. The report also includes information on a variety of issues relevant to habitat restoration and enhancement.

At the workshops, there will be opportunities for the public to ask questions about the report and to provide comments. The schedule and locations for the workshops are indicated on the reverse side of this letter.
