Document Description
The City of Arcata, the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the California Coastal Conservancy plan to restore tidal wetland functions to 205 acres of 240 acres of former tidal salt/brackish marsh and freshwater wetlands adjacent to Humboldt Bay in northern California. The remaining 35 acres will be managed as freshwater wetlands and brackish ponds. The project area is owned by the City (74 acres). The project site is located adjacent to the existing Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary's (AMWS) northwest boundary. This 74 acre, City owned property provides a critical link from the 154-acre AMWS to the CDFG Mad River Slough Wildlife Area (547 acres) located west of Janes Creek/McDaniel Slough. The project includes a trail system for public access. This project proposes to benefit the public trust resources.
