 A maze of tributaries, sloughs and islands, the San Francisco
Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta estuary (Bay-Delta) is the largest estuary on the West
Coast. It is a haven for plants and wildlife, supporting over 750 plants and animal
species. The Bay-Delta includes over 738,000 acres on five counties. The Bay
Delta is critical to California's economy, supplying drinking water for over two-thirds of
Californians and irrigation water for over 7 million acres of the most highly productive
agricultural land in the world.
