Support the restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon in Cardiff, one of California’s largest wetland projects. With Nature Collective, we’re replanting native species, removing invasives, and protecting rare plants and wildlife.

 

Your impact:

  • Reduced invasive plants from ~35% to near zero

  • Bird diversity increased from 12 to 15 species

  • 250+ native plants—including endangered species—installed

  • 150+ volunteers engaged through hands-on restoration

  • Thriving pollinators and strong plant survival rates

Sustainable Development Goals addressed by the project.

SeaTrees evaluates this project annually to measure its impact on all relevant Sustainable Development Goals. The Cardiff Watershed project addresses 3 SDGs. Read below for more details.

Climate Action

The Project is taking climate action and addressing the impacts of climate change by restoring salt marsh habitat in a wetland. Wetlands are key in protection from flooding, as the oceans warm and the effects of climate change are producing larger, more frequent storms, wetlands offer flood protection from storm surges. Coastal wetland restoration also aids in halting climate change by reducing the amount of Carbon and emissions in to the atmosphere. The Project will include planting and restoration of salt marsh plant species, these plants, and wetlands sequester more Carbon than tropical forests.

Life Below Water

The Project site is located at the inlet to the lagoon, this channel is the direct link to the ocean. By restoring habitat at this site we are making sure the water reaching the ocean has been filtered and excess nutrients have been processed by a well- functioning wetland.

Life on Land

The restoration component of this Project will restore and enhance not only plant biodiversity, but also avian and insect biodiversity. By planting different salt marsh species than those present at the site, this habitat will be more heterogenous, more diverse. When a wetland has more plant species, it can support a wider range of animal species
