Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve

04 Feb, 07 AM - 04 Feb, 01 PM

Hello. I am submitting this request on behalf of the City of Santa Barbara. The City is currently seeking to collect seeds and cuttings for a dune habitat restoration project on East Beach. This project is mitigation for a weir box that will be constructed on east beach as part of the desal project. The City has a CDP for the project from the CCC (9-19-1250), and in order to vest the permit, the City needs to get the mitigation in the ground by July 2022. The City doesn’t plan to construct right away due to the drought – taking the plant offline right now in order to construct is not the best for our water supply situation. That said, the City is in urgent need of 100 to 350 cuttings each of the pink sand verbena (Abronia umbellata var. umbellata) and beach suncup (Camissoniopsis cheiranthifolia) for the mitigation effort, which we believe exists at the UCSB Coal Oil Point Reserve. Rincon would like to respectfully request on behalf of the City, and in partnership with Channel Islands Restoration (who would do the collection), that we may be able to collect cuttings from COPR. More information can be supplied upon request. Thank you for your consideration.
