	Historical Bathymetric Change in Suisun Bay 1867 - 1990
		Almost two-thirds of Suisun Bay was depositional during this period.
		These factors decreased the input of sediment to the Bay, and from 1887 to 1990 Suisun Bay was erosional.
		On average, Suisun Bay deepened during the study period.

	BAY NATURE: On the Trail Jan-March 2001
		Cupped between Suisun Bay to the south and the gently rolling Potrero Hills to the north, Rush Ranch's 2070-acre mosaic includes both pasture and native grassland.
		The marshes of Suisun Bay are home to the entire population (estimated at 58,800) of the Suisun song sparrow, a sedentary subspecies that never strays far from its small patch of tules and bulrushes.
		The Suisun aster and other rare plant species share the thistle's habitat; all of these must be able to withstand the high salinity levels that come from periodic tidal inundation of their slough-side location.

		The 45 adult crabs collected last fall and winter in the Delta, Suisun Marsh and Suisun Bay indicated the population in the northern estuary was large enough to be detected by monitoring.
		After surveying the Delta and Suisun Marsh for potential sites in late June and early July, 15 monitoring stations were selected based on several criteria: sites had to be tidally influenced, contain adequate expanses of unrocked bank exposed during low tide, and be accessible by vehicle.
		Currently, there are 4 stations in Suisun Marsh and 11 in the Delta, of which 8 are core stations and 3 are peripheral stations.

	Suisun Bay Region: Fall Shallow Water Fishing For Stripers, by Dan Bacher, Fish Sniffer
		Suisun Bay, the rich estuary where the fresh water of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers mixes with the salty water of San Pablo Bay, has gone through many changes over the decades.
		This follows a tough spring and summer for stripers on the Delta, Suisun Bay and San Pablo Bay, mainly due to the high, often unfishable conditions on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and their tributaries.
		Location: Suisun Bay, located between Vallejo and the Benicia/Martinez area, is where the salty water of San Pablo Bay and the fresh water of Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers mixes.

	Suisun Bay Striped Bass Action Fabulous Prior To Big Storms, by Dan Bacher, Fish Sniffer Online
		With the lack of inflows into San Pablo and Suisun bays prior to the big storms at press time, striped bass fishing continued at a surprisingly good pace into mid-December.
		Suisun Bay and the West Delta, where the fresh water of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and saltwater mix, is one of the richest marine environments in the state.
		Eel has become the most popular bait in the bay for sturgeon over the past several years, but grass, mud and ghost shrimp and pileworms are great baits also.

	Historical Bathymetric Change in Suisun Bay 1867 - 1990
		In the latter half of the 20th century an increase in the implementation of flood control and water distribution projects in the Central Valley caused the Bay to be erosional due to the reduction of the frequency and duration of peak flow conditions, which in turn decreased sediment supply to the Bay.
		From 1867 (the year of the first detailed hydrographic survey of the area) until at least 1887, Suisun Bay was depositional and filled with hydraulic mining debris.
		After 1887, Suisun Bay was erosional and the volume of material eroded increased up to the end of the study period.

	Proposed Shipbreaking of MARAD or Navy Ships in Oregon or Washington
		When Bay Bridge Enterprises LLC's proposal to construct a shipbreaking facility primarily for U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) at Newport (Yaquina Bay) was first announced on Nov. 18 (1), I was somewhat in favor of it because the newspaper report indicated that it would bring many family wage jobs without degrading the environment.
		A Coos Bay World editorial recommended that shipbreaking of MARAD ships in the San Francisco Bay area should be done in the San Francisco Bay area because of concerns about accidents and invasive species from transporting the ships to Oregon (140).
		Bay Bridge Enterprises LLC and Brownsville shipbreakers are nonunion, so workers would not be protected by a contract if their wages and benefits are reduced or cut.

	State could require permits for Suisun Bay ship cleaning
		Complicating matters, the ships are old, and many have been mothballed in Suisun Bay for decades, allowing their hulls to be overwhelmed by barnacles, seaweed and decaying metal.
		The large amount of growth and the Suisun ships' aging hulls combine to make them difficult to clean without discharging metals into the Bay.
		The Maritime Administration plans to remove as many as 50 decrepit ships from Suisun Bay in the next few years as it struggles with an already-expired congressional deadline to dispose of obsolete vessels.
