Interagency Ecological Program

The Interagency Ecological Program (IEP) is a collaborative effort among various government agencies dedicated to studying and managing the health of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and its rivers. It aims to understand how water management, habitat, and species conservation affect local ecosystems and fish populations. By sharing scientific research and data, IEP helps develop strategies to balance environmental sustainability with water use for agriculture, industry, and cities. This coordination supports informed decision-making to protect and restore the region’s ecological health while addressing human needs.
