Factoid: The Bay Model was built in 1957 as a research tool to test the impact of proposed changes
to San Francisco Bay and its related waterways. The Model has been used to study the
effects of chemical/oil spills, altering of shipping channels, levee failures, and bay in-
filling. The hydraulic Model was used to simulate currents, tidal action, sediment
movement and the mixing of fresh and salt water. In 1980 the Visitor Center portion was
added, and the Model adopted the function of an Educational Center for learning about the
geography, ecology and natural history of the Bay and Delta areas. Although today no
active research takes place using the actual Model, the facility still remains open to the
public and the Visitor Center still serves as a public education center.
