Where Land Meets the Sea: Explore California Estuaries

Register here

Estuaries are a vital part of California’s landscape, supporting a diverse array of birds, fish, shellfish, and other wildlife while also benefiting human communities. Tragically, these ecosystems are at risk from invasive species, pollution, urban development, and sea level rise. In fact, 85% of California’s original estuaries have been lost in the past 150 years. In this lecture, we’ll hear from California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) experts reporting LIVE from different coastal CDFW Lands as they explore the importance of estuaries, why they’re in trouble, and what CDFW is doing to restore them. Featured estuaries include the Eel River Wildlife Area (north coast), Elkhorn Slough Ecological Reserve (central coast), and Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve (south coast). Join us for this opportunity to explore estuaries: California’s coastal gems!
