Research Summary: San Francisco Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project: Mercury Biogeochemistry and Bioaccumulation (Mark C. Marvin-DiPasquale, Lisamarie Windham-Myers, Josh T. Ackerman, and Collin Eagles-Smith)

Description: Historic tidal sloughs, such as the one above, are still visible in the surface of the former salt ponds. One management goal is to reinstate tidal flushing to these hydrologically disconnected areas and to restore healthy marsh function, without increasing methylmercury production.
