Talk by Robin M. Grossinger, scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute, given at the 2010 University of California Museum of Paleontology Short Course. Before development, the Bay's shoreline was a broad intertidal landscape comprising over 200,000 acres of diverse wetland habitat types. While most were destroyed prior to 1900, their characteristics and spatial patterns are revealed in a remarkable array of historical documents. This talk will explore the historical landscape, its transformation, and how these data are contributing to contemporary restoration efforts.
