text: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
  
      (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``San Francisco Bay 
  National Wildlife Refuge Complex Establishment Act''.
      (b) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
              (1) In 1974, the first congressionally-mandated national 
          wildlife refuge in the country was established in San Francisco 
          Bay, renamed in 1995 as the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay 
          National Wildlife Refuge. It was the Nation's first urban 
          refuge and remains the largest national wildlife refuge in a 
          metropolitan area. The Service manages it as part of a Complex 
          with the Antioch Dunes, Ellicott Slough, Farallon, Marin 
          Islands, Salinas River, and San Pablo Bay National Wildlife 
          Refuges, comprising more than 46,000 acres. The Complex's urban 
          setting and high visitorship provide unique challenges and 
          opportunities to advance the mission of the national wildlife 
          refuge system, including engagement, education, and involvement 
          of new constituencies.
              (2) The Complex represents a unique national asset within 
          the National Wildlife Refuge System and should be a focal point 
          for cutting edge research, science, and practice in habitat 
          management and restoration, including projects in the areas 
          of--
                      (A) implementation of recovery plans for endangered 
                  and threatened wildlife species, and habitat 
                  conservation plans for tidal marsh and other priority 
                  ecosystems;
                      (B) integrated ecosystem management and adaptive 
                  approaches to planning and implementation of landscape-
                  scale ecosystem restoration;
                      (C) carbon sequestration and natural shoreline 
                  protection benefits of tidal marsh restoration in the 
                  face of rising sea levels;
                      (D) monitoring the health of key species and the 
                  value of habitat;
                      (E) removal and control of harmful nonnative 
                  species;
                      (F) public education and community stewardship 
                  opportunities in furtherance of the mission of the 
                  National Wildlife Refuge System;
                      (G) public-private partnerships and collaborative 
                  conservation; and
                      (H) establishing and documenting best practices and 
                  disseminating and replicating them throughout the 
                  National Wildlife Refuge System.
  
  SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT.
  
      (a) In General; Purposes.--For the purposes of preservation, 
  conservation, restoration, and enhancement of highly significant 
  wildlife habitat in the ecosystem known generally as San Francisco Bay 
  in the State of California, protection of migratory waterfowl and other 
  wildlife, including species known to be threatened or endangered with 
  extinction, providing opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation 
  and nature study within the open space so preserved, the Secretary 
  shall establish, in accordance with this Act, an urban ecosystem 
  wildlife refuge complex to be known as the San Francisco Bay National 
  Wildlife Refuge Complex.
      (b) Objectives.--In addition to the purposes of the Refuge Complex 
  specified in subsection (a), the Refuge Complex shall be managed in 
  accordance with all laws, regulations, executive orders, and 
  comprehensive conservation plans that applied before the date of the 
  enactment of this Act to the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge 
  Complex and for the following objectives:
              (1) To strengthen and complement existing resource 
          management, conservation, restoration, and education programs 
          and activities at the Refuge Complex in a manner consistent 
          with the purposes set forth in subsection (a).
              (2) To conserve, enhance, and restore the native aquatic 
          and terrestrial communities and their characteristics found 
          within the Refuge Complex and the San Francisco Bay ecosystem 
          in partnership with governmental, nongovernmental, and private 
          organizations and private individuals dedicated to fish and 
          wildlife habitat preservation, protection, recovery, 
          restoration, or enhancement.
              (3) To facilitate partnerships among the Service, the State 
          of California, regional and local governments, Indian tribes, 
          communities, conservation organizations and other non-Federal 
          entities to promote community stewardship and to enhance public 
          awareness and appreciation among urban and metropolitan 
          residents within the greater San Francisco Bay ecosystem of the 
          natural resources of the Refuge Complex and the importance of 
          maintaining fish and wildlife habitat to compensate for the 
          significant scale of human development and land conversion that 
          has occurred in this region of northern California.
              (4) To advance the collective goals, priorities, and 
          strategies established in the covered report in order to 
          protect, preserve, conserve, manage, restore, recover, or 
          enhance fish and wildlife habitat in the San Francisco Bay 
          ecosystem.
              (5) To provide for the systematic monitoring of key species 
          and environmental health in general, to facilitate programs to 
          control or eradicate harmful, non-native invasive species, to 
          advance adaptive approaches to planning, carbon sequestration, 
          and natural shoreline protection, and to implement landscape-
          level strategies for ecosystem recovery, restoration and 
          enhancement.
