The Bolsa Chica Lowlands Restoration Project is located in Huntington Beach, Orange County, California and has been the largest, most complex, coastal wetlands restoration project in southern California history. The project area covers approximately 1,247 acres of estuarine, marine and upland habitat and boasts a restored tidal influence from the Pacific Ocean to an area that has not seen saltwater in over a century. Completed in the summer of 2006, this reinvigorated wetland ecosystem now supports enriched habitat for a variety of fish, plants and coastal wildlife.
