Bolsa Chica Wetland Restoration Project

Through the combined efforts of eight state and federal resources agencies, approximately 880 acres of the Bolsa Chica Lowlands in Orange Country were acquired in February 1997 from the Signal Bolsa Corporation.  Title to the property is now held by the California State Lands Commission.  Funding for the acquisition came principally from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

The eight state and federal agencies are now proceeding with the planning and environmental compliance processes which will be necessary in order to design and obtain regulatory permits for the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Restoration Project.  The purpose of the Project will be to provide for the most ecologically appropriate restoration of the wetlands in the lowlands.
