This issue's map shows the San Francisco Bay Watershed, with major rivers, streams, lakes, and the major water projects. Follow the orange lines to see where water is diverted within and beyond this watershed.

The fish icons show where you might still see salmon spawning in rivers and creeks, but please check www.bay.org/news.htm for more information. The Bay Institute, Salmon Aid, and the Nature Conservancy teamed up to create two online maps showing these spots, one for the Bay Area, the other for the Central Valley. The maps link to Google maps of each location. Thanks to Peter Vorster and the Bay Institute for their generous help with our map.

We regret that we were unable to deliver the large fold-out map of “The Great San Francisco Bay Watershed” we had promised.

The “Great and Wondrous Pacific Ocean” map is still available, both separately and bound into the Spring/Summer 2009 issue, free of charge upon request to schools and for other educational uses. Mail requests to the address on the Contact Us page or e-mail calcoast@scc.ca.gov.
