6924 Tremont Road This duty station, co-housed with the Dixon Field Station of the BRD's California Science Center, is located in the northern portion of the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta upstream from San Francisco Bay. This station was established in the mid-1960s by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and has subsequently been affiliated with several science centers since the merger of former Fish and Wildlife Service biologists into USGS. Research by WFRC staff has traditionally addressed the impacts of environmental contaminants, water quality, or environmental degradation of environments affecting Central Valley fishes. Additional studies have been conducted in the Salton Sea, in coastal lagoons and estuaries, and the upper Klamath basin. Assets of the Dixon Duty Station include close proximity to Central Valley rivers and the San Francisco Bay/Delta, the local presence of several universities with strong research or management programs in fisheries and environmental toxicology, and an established working relationship with scientists from various federal /state agencies. Currently, two WFRC staff members are stationed at Dixon. SPACE AND FUNCTION TABLE
