China Camp is located on the shores of San Pablo Bay -- the northern "thumb" of San Francisco Bay. Fresh water releases from the Sacramento Delta into San Pablo Bay have been cut over the past several decades, resulting in elevated salinity levels, which is an inhospitable condition for Bay Shrimp.
