Los Cerritos Wetlands Southern Area Implementation

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 throughout the site by creating a full tidal connection with the Haynes Cooling Channel. Once completed, this multi-benefit project will provide critical native tidal marsh and transitional habitat for migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway, remediate contaminated soil, provide access to tribal groups, and provide new public access opportunities in an urban area.
