The Benthic BioGuide is a living document that is constantly being updated as new information becomes available. The initial idea was hatched by Cindy Messer and a poster paper (pdf, 240 bk) was produced by Rachel Barnett and Sabrina Bell for the “2007 State of the San Francisco Estuary Conference”. During summer and fall of 2011, Wyatt Floerke and Bill Templin, worked on this version of the bioguide for the first 10 (of 40) most common species. If you have information to contribute, please contact Karen Gehrts.
