Comprehensive Conservation Plan

This Management Plan was created to guide the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) in protecting estuarine resources during the 2010–2015 period. It also serves as the Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) for Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge, which makes up the northern portion of the Reserve.

The original CMP for Tijuana Slough NWR, developed in 1990, used a consensus-based planning process involving the Tijuana River NERR Advisory Council, staff from the operating agencies (California State Parks and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), and community members. This collaborative approach was innovative at the time and continues to reflect our commitment to public involvement in decision-making through updates to the plan.
