While the management structure is important, the future of 
the Delta and San Francisco Bay will be determined by whether or 
not solutions are developed for its problems, many of which have 
already been identified: 
o Decreases in freshwater inflow have resulted in major 
reductions in flushing activity (increases in renewal time) 
and reductions in fish stocks to all-time lows (Rozengurt, 
Josselyn, and Herz, this volume). 
o Pollutant loads in some species of fish and wildlife are so 
high that warnings have been issued to protect public 
health; these loads may be responsible for reproductive 
failure and population deterioration (Whipple, this volume). 
o Pollutant discharges from industrial and municipal dis¬ 
chargers, agricultural, and non-profit sources are in¬ 
creasing (Nichols, et at . 1986).
