Yerba Buena

Yerba Buena is located in California, in San Francisco Bay. This site is near the Yerba Buena Mussel Watch site. This moderately sloping site consists of moderately uneven terrain, containing few cracks and folds.

Yerba Buena is dominated by natural and rip rap boulder fields, and the area surrounding the site is comprised of natural and rip rap boulder fields. The primary coastal orientation of this site is southeast.

Yerba Buena was established in 2007 and resampled in 2009 as part of a Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA). Point contact, photo plot, motile invertebrate, and Fucus size structure surveys were done as part of the NRDA.

Yerba Buena was revisited in 2016 to collect baseline data for comparison in the event of any more damage to natural resources.
