Ballona Restoration

esulted in the loss of many of its ecological functions and many native species can no longer live at the wetlands because of the degraded habitat. Restoring the natural structure and function of the Ballona Wetlands will give native species a chance to recover and thrive. The Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project will return the daily ebb and flow of tidal waters, maintain freshwater circulation and support a more natural and healthy ecosystem. Creating these suitable habitats and natural conditions will allow wetland vegetation to flourish and attract the insects, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, birds and mammals that call wetlands home. This revitalization will also provide the community with a valuable educational resource and an opportunity to create meaningful connections with the natural environment.
