Summary

The Trustees are proposing to allocate the remaining unspent Cosco Busan Oil Spill settlement funds for Large Diving Ducks and Loons to extend implementation of the Eelgrass restoration in San Francisco Bay. The Trustees are also proposing two new projects to address injuries due to the spill to Brown Pelicans, Cormorants and Gull: the Alcatraz Island human disturbance reduction project and the Seabird habitat restoration on Southeast Farallon Island project are proposed now as replacements for the Berkeley Pier Enhancement project, which was selected as a preferred alternative in the Final DARP/EA, but has permitting delays.
