Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve

01 Jul, 05 AM - 30 Jun, 05 AM

Purpose of Research Project: The California Coastal Commission?s (CCC) coastal development permit to Southern California Edison (SCE) for operation of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) requires restoration of 150 acres of tidally influenced wetland at San Dieguito Lagoon in Del Mar, California. Compliance with the permit requires that physical and biological performance standards in the restoration be similar to those in 3 reference wetlands. For the purposes of this monitoring, Carpinteria Salt Marsh will be used as one of the reference wetlands to assess the ongoing performance of the San Dieguito Lagoon restoration. This monitoring will continue for the present and future operation life of the SONGS as required by the permit. To assess these biological and physical parameters, monitoring of Carpinteria Salt Marsh will be done according to the methods previously described above, using fish, invertebrate, and vegetative sampling methods to assess these types of organisms, and also the use of environmental data loggers to continuously monitor water quality parameters.
