The Delta Stewardship Council's Delta Science Program is developing the third iteration of the Delta Science Plan, which outlines the vision, principles, and approaches that guide science in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Updated approximately every five years, the plan incorporates new concepts and actions that reflect current science and management needs and is developed collaboratively and transparently.

The Delta Stewardship Council’s monthly meetings are the definitive place for the public to learn about and comment on the implementation of the Delta Plan.

Our next meeting will be held on January 22, 2026, at 9:30 AM, at the California Natural Resources Agency (715 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814).

On January 16 at 9:00 AM, the Delta Independent Science Board will discuss the review of the draft 2026 Delta Science Plan, which was developed by the Delta Stewardship Council’s Delta Science Program. Based on the discussion, the Delta ISB may take action on the next steps for submitting its comments on the Draft 2026 Delta Science Plan. In addition, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy will provide an update on the work of the Delta Carbon Team, including how it is addressing the needs identified in the Delta ISB’s draft subsidence review.
