The vision of the Subtidal Habitat Goals Project is to achieve, over the next 50 years, a net improvement of the San Francisco Bay's subtidal ecosystem through science-based protection and restoration of habitats.

To achieve this improvement, the Subtidal Habitat Goals Project proposes:

• Increasing the quantity of desired but currently limited habitats;
• Emphasizing support of native species;
• Increasing our understanding of the physical and biological processes that affect subtidal habitats and the use of these habitats by species.

The Subtidal Habitat Goals Project is a collaborative, regional planning effort to advance the understanding and future science-based protection and restoration of submerged habitats in San Francisco Bay.

The Subtidal Goals Report is designed to give resource managers, regulatory agencies, environmental groups, researchers, industry, and anyone interested in this important bay habitat the basic information they need to plan conservation, restoration, research, and management activities related to subtidal habitat in the San Francisco estuary.
