Five years into the first significant construction to restore thousands of acres of former industrial salt ponds around San Francisco Bay back to wetlands, dozens of species of fish and birds — from herring and anchovies to pintail ducks — are expanding their range across the bay, with some clearly growing in population.

That was among the key conclusions from scientists at a recent conference held at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif., to assess the status of the massive salt pond project.

"So far, so good," said Jim Hobbs, a fisheries biologist with University of California, Davis.

From wikipedia:
Charlotta Amanda Spears Bass (February 14, 1874 – April 12, 1969) was an American educator, newspaper publisher-editor, and civil rights activist. Bass was probably the first African American woman to own and operate her own newspaper in the United States; she published the California Eagle from 1912 until 1951. In 1952 Bass became the first African American woman nominated for Vice President, as a candidate of the Progressive Party.
