Introduction

The Bolsa Chica Lowands Restoration Project created or rehabilitated nearly 600 acres of marine and wetland habitat in Orange County, CA, restoring part of what had historically been a vast estuarine ecosystem. The restoration is the largest in Southern California history. Major components included: 1) Removal and clean-up of oil extraction facilities from part of the wetlands area. 2) Restoration of full tidal influence through a new inlet, bridge construction and excavation of a tidal basin. 3) Creation and enhancement of aquatic habitats and intertidal wetlands. 4) Creation of nesting and feeding areas for threatened and endangered birds. 5) Preservation of non-tidal wetlands.
