Delta Protection Commission staff seeks your input on the recommendations and implementation ideas in the draft Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP) Recreation and Tourism chapter update. The ESP is a document the Commission and other Delta agencies use to guide efforts to support and enhance the Delta economy. Recreation and tourism-related economic and visitation data has been updated from the 2012 plan. Information gathered from focus groups and from reports and studies completed since 2012 are included in this update.

The six-page Executive Summary (PDF) is available. We are especially interested in your input on the Constraints to Recreation, Focus Group Findings, and Recommendations on pages 3 and 4.

The full ESP Recreation and Tourism update chapter (PDF) is also available. You can find more detailed information about the Constraints to Recreation, Focus Group Findings, and Recommendations in Sections 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 of the report.

We invite you to participate in a virtual workshop on Tuesday, January 26 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Registration is required. Upon registration, you will receive a link and information to attend the meeting. Please share this information to anyone you think may be interested in the update and proposed recommendations.
