+<p>The <a href="https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/swamp/bioaccumulation_monitoring.html">SWAMP Bioaccumulation Monitoring Program</a> (Program) was established in 2006 to monitor water bodies statewide and measure the concentrations of pollutants in fish and shellfish tissue to assess waterbody conditions and whether fish and shellfish are safe to eat.</p>
+<p>The <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/">Safe to Eat Workgroup</a> (STEW) helps guide Program implementation, and brings together state and federal agencies, academia, and non-governmental organizations with an interest in bioaccumulation related research, fish advisory development, and statewide monitoring.</p>
+<p>The Program and the STEW work collaboratively to address questions related to the condition of a waterbody (status), how it changes over time (trends), causes and sources of pollutants and how effective programs are at reducing bioaccumulation in California's water bodies. Program activities are supported and guided by the STEW, to ensure the data collected through statewide monitoring address these questions and support development of fish advisories.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>For more on how the Program and STEW collaborate to conduct bioaccumulation monitoring in California, see the Program &amp; STEW Fact Sheet (<a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/bioaccumulationprogram-factsheet-english-20220308.pdf">English</a>, <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/BioaccumulationProgram_SpanishFactSheet_070822_ACC.pdf">Spanish</a>, <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/BioaccumulationProgram_ChineseSimpleFactSheet_050922_ACC.pdf">Simplified Chinese</a>, <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/BioaccumulationProgram_ChineseTraditionalFactSheet_070722_ACC.pdf">Traditional Chinese</a>, <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/BioaccumulationProgram_HmongFactSheet_070822_ACC.pdf">Hmong</a>, <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/BioaccumulationProgram_KoreranFactSheet_070722_ACC.pdf">Korean</a>, <a href="https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/monitoring_council/bioaccumulation_oversight_group/docs/2022/BioaccumulationProgram_TagalogFactSheet_070822_ACC.pdf">Tagalog</a>)</p>

+<ul>
+<li>Build stronger connections between the Program and other Water Boards Divisions, Regions, and programs</li>
+<li>Build stronger relationships with Tribes and communities</li>
+<li>Fill in data and information gaps regarding the question: "Is it safe to eat fish and shellfish from our waters?"</li>
