Many years ago I worked on the computer models used when developing the restoration plan. Happy to answers any questions.

  Cool! What was the motivation for the restoration project? Like, were the salt ponds causing some sort of environmental damage, or was the smell hurting property values, or something else?

    What made the Bay such an especially good place for getting salt?

      It's sunny and doesn't rain much/at all for 8-9 months out of the year. And the tidal flats are protected because they are inside the bay.

    There's a big push to restore the wetlands to something approaching their pre-industrial state, which were salt marshes housing many species and benefiting the ecology of the area.

      But did they not make money any more? Why did cargill care?
