The Clean Estuary Partnership

The Clean Estuary Partnership (CEP) is a collaborative effort of the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA). The CEP uses science, adaptive management, and public collaboration to develop technically valid, cost-effective strategies--including TMDLs--that result in identifiable, sustainable water quality improvements for San Francisco Bay. For more information on the CEP, click here.

The Regional Monitoring Program (RMP)

The Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances (RMP) monitors pollutant concentrations in water, sediments, and fish and shellfish tissue in San Francisco Bay and Delta, together known as the San Francisco Estuary. Many San Francisco Bay Region TMDL Projects use data collected by the RMP. For more information on the RMP, including data and report, click here.
