Bolsa Chica - A Coastal Wetlands In Transition with David Pryor

The Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve is an approximately 1,300-acre coastal estuary in Huntington Beach. Like other wetlands in Southern California, this area has been highly modified, diverted, drained, damned, flooded, shot, drilled, polluted, and built out. It came close to becoming another harbor. It is now in phases of restoration, preservation, and protection as the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and Marine Protected Area. Inside are high-quality and rare resources in the aquatic, bird, and plant worlds with highly accessible trails and viewing opportunities. Recorded May 19, 2022.
