As one of the best-studied estuaries on the planet, San Francisco Bay and its upstream brackish and freshwater tidal regions (“Bay–Delta”; Figure 1) has an impressive history of research and scientific progress. The past 2 decades have been especially eventful, with significant advances in experimentation, development of new research tools, an increasing move toward open science, reliance on conceptual and simulation models to guide research, and an expansion to relatively unstudied elements of the ecosystem. The breadth of the current science enterprise is highlighted in some excellent articles and white papers (e.g., Brown et al. 2016a; MacWilliams et al. 2016; Moyle et al. 2016; Johnson et al. 2017; Sherman et al. 2017; Connon et al. 2019).
