The San Francisco Estuary Partnership (Estuary Partnership) works to protect, restore, and enhance the Estuary and its surrounding communities. The Estuary Partnership catalyzes regional work toward our collective vision of a healthy Estuary by working hand-in-hand with communities, funders, agencies, and other interested parties to collaborate, innovate, and adapt to the dynamic needs of the Estuary and its watershed communities against a backdrop of changing environmental conditions.

The Estuary Partnership also leads a regional strategy called the Estuary Blueprint to protect and restore the water quality and ecological integrity of the Estuary from the Golden Gate to the Sacramento Delta. The Estuary Partnership is part of the National Estuary Program, a place-based program of the US Environmental Protection Agency, and sits administratively within the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).

Our offices are located at the Bay Area Metro Center in San Francisco.

The Estuary Partnership and the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) co-manage the Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program (WRMP). The WRMP’s mission is to deliver coordinated regional monitoring of the Estuary’s wetlands to inform science-based decision-making for wetland restoration and adaptive management and to increase the cost-effectiveness of permit-driven monitoring associated with wetland restoration projects. Through standardized monitoring and regional data analysis, the WRMP provides a platform to assess how existing tidal wetlands and restoration projects respond to environmental stressors and measure the impact of wetland restoration efforts.

The WRMP also assesses how people are using and benefiting from wetlands, and advances protection and restoration of wetlands to improve the health and resilience of the Estuary and its surrounding human communities. WRMP funders include the US EPA San Francisco Bay Program Office and the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority.

Under general direction of the Lead Environmental Scientist for the Estuary Partnership, the WRMP Data Analytics and Outreach Coordinator will support data collection, analysis, and visualization about the human dimensions of wetlands; create effective science communication products for different data end users including restoration project implementers, regulatory agency staff, community groups, and Tribes; coordinate wetland community engagement and outreach in partnership with local organizations, Tribes and educational institutions;

and support WRMP program administration. This work will require working collaboratively with internal and external partners; balancing varied tasks related to social science, data analysis and visualization, science communication, partnership-building, outreach and engagement, and project administration; and tracking project budgets, contracts, insurance requirements, timelines, and deliverables.

The WRMP Data Analytics and Outreach Coordinator will be part of the close-knit WRMP team. The role is particularly suitable for someone interested in the interface of data analytics, community outreach and engagement, and wetland management. This position will require the occasional need to drive for MTC business…
