The scope of the SLCWRP includes restoring tidal wetlands, wetland-upland transition zone, and upland habitats, in two phases. Phase 1 restoration activities focus on enhancing existing habitat areas in closer proximity to the existing muted tidal channel connection via the culvert connected to the San Gabriel River. Phase 2 restoration activities would expand tidal wetlands … Continued
The project is a re-envisioned restoration of the Bolsa Chica Lowlands wetland complex to improve the self-sustaining nature of the wetland complex in light of current sea level rise predictions, not available at the time of the original restoration. This will include reduction in water management gates and pump reliance, expansion of full tidal influence, … Continued
The San Juan Creek Estuary Restoration and Enhancement Planning Project entails the planning and future implementation of estuarine and riparian habitat restoration and enhancement activities to address limiting factors to southern steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi) migration within the San Juan Creek estuary and lower watershed such as lack of high … Continued

Coastal Corridor Alliance (CCA) and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) will complete planning tasks consisting of preparation of a Wetland Restoration Feasibility Study and associated tasks in support of restoring and enhancing approximately 110 acres of degraded wetland and riparian habitat in the Randall Preserve to improve fish and wildlife habitat, passive recreational … Continued
The proposed project is a critical second phase of restoration for 250 acres of recovering mixed wetland riparian habitat on the Santa Clara River, approximately 3 miles east (upstream) from Santa Paula, California. This discrete stretch of the river is perennially moist and supports 0.5 – 1-mile-wide sections of complex and diverse riparian habitat. In … Continued
The proposed project is a second phase of restoration for the 140-acre Shiells-Sommers Property, owned by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and located approximately 1.5 miles east of Fillmore, California. Immediately neighboring the property downstream is a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) owned Ecological Reserve where $3.2 million has been spent removing the invasive … Continued
The San Dieguito River Watershed headwaters flow from the Volcan Mountain north of Julian and meanders some 55 miles through conifer and oak woodlands, grasslands, and chaparral to the San Dieguito Lagoon between Del Mar and Solana Beach. Invasive non-native plant species in the watershed are displacing native habitat, depleting freshwater, causing numerous water quality … Continued
This coastal resilience project will construct a new bridge over the Santa Margarita River to provide critical flood management, riparian restoration and public safety benefits, while restoring fish passage in a high priority endangered steelhead recovery river, as designated in the National Marine Fisheries Service’s (2012) Southern California Steelhead Recovery Plan. The project is located … Continued
The project will develop a 30% design plan set and supporting scientific and engineering studies to transform the Los Angeles River and tributary corridors within the Sepulveda Basin’s constrained streams, narrow riparian corridors (existing: ~60 acres) and disconnected uplands into roughly 8 miles and 600 acres (450 new acres) of restored meandering stream corridors, wide … Continued
The Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy will prepare 60% and final restoration design plans, complete necessary studies for permitting, and secure permits for restoration at Newland Marsh, a 44.8-acre tidal wetland. The Project will create a culvert connection to the HB Channel to convey muted tides and sea water through the marsh, create a tidal channel … Continued
Ellwood Marine Terminal is a 19 acre site on the UCSB Campus that has had the oil and gas infrastructure removed and the soils remediated. The site has been regraded to restore the primary historic landforms and to protect wetlands. The site is the high point on Ellwood Mesa and the project will reconnect the … Continued
