Aquarium Event
Restoring Los Cerritos Wetlands: Waiting for the Tides to Return
Eric Zahn
Our coastal Southern California salt marsh ecosystems have a remarkable history of survival since rapid urbanization began in the early 1900s.
Nearby Los Cerritos Wetlands is one of about 30 biologically diverse tidal wetland complexes located between San Quintin Bay, Baja Mexico and Point Conception, California. Eric Zahn will talk about the natural history of Los Cerritos Wetlands, its existing ecology and politics, and the status of the conservation effort in the works to protect and restore this precious and valuable Long Beach resource.
Zahn is a salt marsh ecologist and avid botanist who has been one of the local leaders focused on conserving coastal wetlands in Long Beach. He is a co-principal for Tidal Influence, a company he founded to aid community groups and municipalities with their wetlands restoration efforts. Zahn is a lecturer in the Environmental Science and Policy Program at California State University, Long Beach.
