Notable Sightings in California from eBird
San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds
The Southern shores of San Francisco Bay have been used for many years for salt generation. Many of the wetlands have been turned into evaporation ponds used to concentrate and harvest the brine.
A long-term project is underway to rehabilitate many of the Salt Ponds and bring them back to a natural state. There is more information on this project here.
You will hear birders mention some of these salt ponds when they describe locations where birds are found. Some salt ponds are accessible to the public, many are not. If you visit a pond and it's marked as restricted access, please honor that restriction and obey access signage. We've created a Google Map to show the naming and location of the salt maps along the south bay coastline
