The Delta Stewardship Council has announced that its Delta Science Program will award $5.9 million to fund eight critical scientific studies in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh over the next three years. In addition to the eight projects selected for Delta Science Program funding, the State Water Contractors will fund two studies that support recovery efforts for endangered fish in the Delta, bringing the total awards to over $7.8 million. … The awarded projects address high-priority science actions identified in the collaboratively developed 2022-2026 Science Action Agenda, which prioritizes and aligns science actions to inform management decisions. The projects cover a range of important research topics, including harmful algal blooms, eco-cultural restoration, tribal knowledge, subsidence, hydrology, acoustic telemetry, endangered species, and more.
