CALFED Brown Bag Seminars

The Brown Bag Seminars sponsored by CALFED provide a venue through which to explore new ideas for the Delta. On a monthly basis, participants are presented with a topic of high educational value that provokes new thinking about Delta issues. Some past topics have included biosentinel mercury monitoring, separating habitat and water supply channels through isolating corridors and issues associated with shallow water habitat.

All seminars are planned for the second Tuesday of the month from 12 noon to 1 p.m. at the CALFED Bay-Delta offices at 650 Capitol Mall, 5th Floor, Sacramento, CA.
