Concentrations of methylmercury throughout San Francisco Bay are high enough to warrant concern for the health of humans and wildlife. Large-scale tidal wetland restoration is currently being implemented as a means of increasing populations of wildlife species of concern. There is concern that these restoration activities may lead to increased concentrations of methylmercury in the estuarine food web and exacerbate the existing methylmercury problem.
