Book excerpt: "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) San Diego National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Complex and the Port of San Diego (Port) propose to implement the South San Diego Bay Coastal Wetland Restoration and Enhancement Project (South Bay Restoration Project), with funding support from the California Coastal Conservancy (Conservancy), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Service's Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program and Coastal Program, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The South Bay Restoration Project involves the restoration and enhancement of approximately 280 acres of coastal wetland and upland habitat within the south end of San Diego Bay, San Diego County, California. The project consists of activities at three locations: 1) restoration of tidal influence to the western salt ponds within the South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego Bay NWR, which are State tidelands managed by the Service; 2) enhancement of tidal circulation and restoration of coastal wetlands within the Chula Vista Wildlife Reserve (CVWR), held in trust by the State Lands Commission and managed by the Port; and 3) restoration and enhancement of coastal upland and wetland habitat at Emory Cove also on State tidelands managed by the Port"--Page 1.
