Restoration of Magnolia Marsh, A NOAA Recovery Act Project

In 2009, NOAA provided $3.3 million in Recovery Act funding to the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy to restore tidal flow at the Magnolia Marsh Wetland. Today, a year later, the ocean is successfully reconnected to the wetland and bringing back important nursery habitat for many fish, including California halibut. This video tells the story of this project and the importance of taking care of our wetlands, before they disappear.
