Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Projects - FY14/15 - CDFW [ds1194]

The Wetlands Restoration for Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program (Program) restores or enhances wetlands and watershed ecosystems to provide essential services to Californias people, wildlife, and fish. Wetlands have high carbon sequestration rates that can sequester carbon for decades. There is tremendous opportunity to restore or enhance large areas of mountain meadow, coastal tidal, inland seasonal, and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta wetlands that do not currently provide the full potential of carbon storage or other benefits due to historical land use.The Program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment, particularly in disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households that are collectively referred to as "priority populations".This data set shows Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects funded under Californias Cap and Trade Programs Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). These projects include mountain meadow, coastal wetland, and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta wetland restoration projects that will lead to reductions in greenhouse gases.
