Strings have been hooked to the Colorado Lagoon bridge for an oyster recruitment experiment. In the 1970s the lagoon was a hotspot for clam fishing and other shellfish harvesting. I suspect that the native Olympia oyster (Ostreola conchaphila) was present at this time.

We have officially started our monitoring project with SMBRF this past week! While the SMBRF team was conducting a CRAM survey at Hellman, Tidal Influence was responsible for collecting detailed vegetation data using three methods: percent cover, line intercept, and laser quadrat. See the image below to better understand our methodology and check back here for more updates as the surveys continue!

It is incredible the change the marsh has undergone in just one year thanks to the restoration effort. Note: Don't see a notable difference? In fact, the observed area is a success considering the salty and silty conditions this site bared -the growth is tremendous. The pictures did not capture all transformations. In these pictures we can observe natural change as the native coastal sage scrub plants mature and become a more suitable habitat for endangered birds and other creatures,

By Jade Dean
In case you have not noticed, the public events we co-host with our non-profit partners only last two hours. Why is that? Simply put, it is because we can get an astonishing amount of work done with a group of volunteers during that time. Don't believe us? Click "Read More" to see how much we can accomplish with some sweat, determination, and members of the community!

Urban Wetland

8/1/2013

By Megan Roy
Los Cerritos Wetlands was historically 2,400 acres; today approximately 500 fragmented acres remain. At least 80% of wetlands in California have been degraded or developed on. The work we do to restore this precious ecosystem sets a precedent for other degraded and urbanized wetlands. Community involvement is vital to the success of the restoration effort. Join us this Saturday, August 3rd to help make a difference in your community. Click for more details.
