Lagoon Benefits

• Replacement of 72 pilings with 4 pilings enhances the tidal flow into and out of the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon.

• Design of bridge facilitates dredging of the channel as needed to increase the tital prism.

• Planting of native vegetation on southeast retaining wall and slope replaces weedy exotic species which invade coastal strand and salt marsh habitats.

• Enhancement of existing vegetation on adjacent slopes further improves water quality by increased filtering of stormwater runoff.
