Meeker Slough is an old mudflat channel along the Richmond Southeast Shoreline that became constrained from over 100 years of urban development starting in the late 1800s. Beginning in 1999, UC Berkeley began remediation work at the Richmond Field Station (RFS) to clean up legacy pollution from industrial activities that occurred prior to UC ownership of the land.
As a result of this work as well as ongoing efforts to protect and restore native habitat, the RFS is home to:
the last undisturbed coastal terrace grassland adjacent to the San Francisco Bay shoreline
This report analyzes marsh survey data and historical imagery to evaluate the Western Stege Marsh Restoration Project standards for tidal inundation, marsh elevation, and channel geometry.
This final monitoring report of the Western Stege Marsh Restoration Project, which aimed to restore hydrologic complexity, improve water quality, and restore local ecosystems.
These are appendices to the 2007 report that summarizes habitat restoration and invasive non-native plant control activities in the Western Stege Marsh and adjacent coastal prairie.
