VIEW THE AGENDA

The Delta Plan Interagency Implementation Committee’s Restoration Subcommittee is hosting this Forum. The Subcommittee, led by the Delta Stewardship Council and the Delta Conservancy, was developed to identify and implement strategies for reducing barriers to landscape-scale restoration and increasing estuary-wide restoration coordination, as recommended in the Delta Plan's recently updated ecosystem chapter.

"Council staff has prepared a digital overview that describes the need for and approach to strengthening Delta ecosystem restoration," said Environmental Program Manager Dan Constable. "It summarizes the Ecosystem Amendment’s strategies, policies, recommendations, and performance measures."

"The amended Chapter Four promotes implementing restoration in a way that provides direct social benefits to Delta communities," wrote Environmental Scientist Annie Merritt and Environmental Program Manager Dan Constable in their blog "The Delta Plan Ecosystem Amendment: Updated Vision and Guidance for Restoration."

The DPIIC strives to facilitate Delta Plan implementation through collaboration in support of shared national, statewide, and local goals for the Delta. It explores opportunities to align actions, showcases achievements, and guides actions to address pressing issues in the Delta.
