Purpose	The purpose of the study is to monitor the effects of estuary breaching for flood control carried out by Sonoma County.
Data Quality Information	Data quality is high. Net sampling was sometimes impaired due to snags, particularly the deep water otter trawls. Samples were typically four minutes but were counted if they went more than 2 1/2 minutes before snagging.
Use Constraints	Data cannot be used to calculate population levels or standing crops of various species in the estuary.
