This Second Progress Report attemtps to track at least some of those ripples. It describes major efforts under way which contribute to the restoration of the Bay, though their cumulative effects are not yest fully defined. The task of "managing...an integrated ecosystem" is still more art than sicence, and the synthesis of the elements involved is far from comlete. This report to the citizens of the Bay watershed summarizes what has been doneduring the past year under the Baywide plans, pollcies and strategies developed to carry out specific commitments of the 1987 Agreement. In addition, this summary constitutes the first biennial report to congress required under section 117 of the Clean Water Act. The organization of the report parallels that of the Agreement itself: Living Resources; Water Quality; Population Growth and Development; Public Information; Education and Participation; Public Access, and Governance.
