The RMP Mercury Strategy / Sport Fish Monitoring Update Jay A. Davis San Francisco Estuary Institute Presented at: The RMP Mercury Coordination Meeting February 2009

Origins SF Bay pollutant enemy #1 Profusion of mercury proposals Tom Mumley’s idea RMP Mercury Strategy Team Stakeholder planning group Key input from Regional Board Strategy now bearing fruit

Q1: Patterns in Uptake Major focus for 2008 - 2010 Spatial and temporal RMP small fish RMP S&T: sport fish, bird eggs, water, sediment Other studies FMP SBMP USGS

Q2: High Leverage Pathways Ideally follows Q1 Some work now, greater focus after 2010 RFP in 2007 Two potentially very valuable but somewhat risky studies Blum isotopes Hintelman DGTs Other studies Mason WERF

Q3: Opportunities for Intervention Ideally follows Q2 RMP focus on internal sources Other programs on external sources, ecosystems McKee Prop 13 Study Drury Guadalupe Ulrich Siegel Stephenson/Heim/Gill/Foe Marvin-DiPasquale and Windham

Q4: Effects of Management Actions Management actions including remediation, restoration, etc. Models – continual development MeHg mass budget a start Monitoring Regional monitoring Local monitoring as actions are taken

Q5: Effect of Total Mercury Reductions Not part of the 1-4 sequence No specific studies currently planned

Questions to Ponder Today Are we making progress? Are there better ways of answering our questions? (submit a proposal!) Are any important elements missing? Systematic monitoring of wetland restoration? Can we coordinate existing work better?
