Case Study: San Francisco Estuary Invasive Spartina Project achieves stronger habitat restoration and invasive species control with JMP

San Francisco Estuary Invasive Spartina Project - Customer Case Study

The San Francisco Estuary Invasive Spartina Project faced a major environmental challenge: an aggressive invasive Spartina cordgrass was threatening 60,000 acres of shoreline biodiversity and the habitat of endangered birds such as the California Clapper Rail. The project needed a way to measure the impact of the invasion and monitor restoration success. JMP was used to help visualize and analyze the monitoring data gathered across the project.

JMP enabled the San Francisco Estuary Invasive Spartina Project to pull updated spatial and attribute data from its geodatabase, summarize it easily, and present it in clear tables and vivid graphs. The vendor, JMP, also helped the team identify outliers and track control effectiveness. As a result, the invasive species is being brought under control and native mudflat habitat is recovering, supporting wildlife including the endangered California Clapper Rail.
