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 … Continued

Banning Ranch, now called the Randall Preserve, was permanently protected in December 2022 and title is held by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA). Coastal Corridor Alliance (CCA, formerly Banning Ranch Conservancy) has partnered with MRCA to complete a Wetland Feasibility Study for the Preserve’s tidal wetlands.
The Santa Clara River (SCR) flows through northern Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, at the junction of 5 Bioregions, retains much of its hydrological integrity, and sustains over 18 federally listed species. However, the SCR faces numerous ecosystem stressors, including habitat loss and inputs from intensive agriculture and urbanization, and invasion by numerous non-native plant … 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
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 that we hope will be restored to historic landforms after removal of tanks, pipes, buildings, and the soil is remediated and regraded. The area will restore the high point on Ellwood Mesa and reconnect the natural seep to the Dune Pond and vernal pools. Plant communities to … Continued
The San Elijo Lagoon and Dune Habitat Restoration Project area is within the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and the Cardiff Living Shoreline in Encinitas, and includes the restoration of four acres within two critical coastal habitats: coastal dune and tidal marsh. Pocket areas need restoration and provide ideal opportunities for community engagement and participation. … Continued
