萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲

Investing in Our Future
促进萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲的可持续发展  

萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲与加州其他任何地方都不一样. 同时也是心脏的心脏国家的供水系统, 河口是超过35种濒危本土动植物的家园, 数十个历史悠久的社区和数十万英亩的农田. The fertile peat soil of its islands produces an estimated $965 million in agricultural crops annually and its ecosystem supports the commercial salmon industry on the West Coast. 三角洲同时也是全州水利基础设施的重要一环, 一个重要但脆弱的生态系统, 是我们经济的引擎，也是500人的家园,000 people. It’s also a region that has witnessed major land-use and landscape changes over the past centuries.

The Delta was once a vast marshland covered with tules and teaming with wildlife. In the mid-1800s, settlers built levees to drain and reclaim the land and today about 95% of the original wetlands and floodplains are gone. In this highly altered environment, non-native species have thrived, over-running native species. Striped bass, 亚洲蛤和许多其他入侵者, large and small, 吃的要么是当地居民，要么是他们赖以为生的食物.

Recognizing the importance of stabilizing the Delta and securing our water future, 大都会购买了一些 Delta islands in 2016. 使我们对国家和地区水资源的承诺更加透明, 大都会董事会正式通过了一项更新的《湾三角洲政策纲要 in October 2022. As a responsible landowner and conscientious neighbor invested in environmental stewardship, 我们致力于以科学为基础的流域管理, multi-benefit environmental initiatives and community-based partnerships with local stakeholders on these islands and throughout the region.
