Both the mitigation and diked historic bayland examples show 
that governmental regulatory agencies respond well to clear, 
understandable, and applicable scientific information. When the 
information is in a form that the average reader can appreciate, 
there is considerable public and media interest in the Bay Area. 
There is an increased willingness to take the opportunity to 
improve the San Francisco Bay, both through mitigation and 
through increased attention to the diked historic baylands.
