Abstract

A team of collaborators from the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association, and University of California-Davis are exploring the environmental consequences of managing the opening and closing of lagoon mouths. The project approach includes the following elements:

Collaboration with Users: The project team will regularly engage members of the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project, which coordinates and funds restoration projects throughout the region.

Data Synthesis: Long-term water quality and vegetation data will be analyzed from three estuary systems: San Diego Bay, Los Peasquitos Lagoon, and Tijuana Estuary. The team will look at how mouth closures influence factors such as dissolved oxygen and salinity, which in turn affect plants and animals.

Literature Review: The project team will pull together relevant scientific articles and reports to guide its interpretation of monitoring data and development of management recommendations.

This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.

This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.

Purpose:

Southern California lagoons are complex, both in their environments and their management. In their natural states many estuaries will periodically open and close to the sea, but the strategy in recent decades has been to actively manage these lagoons to be largely open to improve water quality. Recently, however, scientists and managers have been reconsidering this one-size-fits-all approach. Managing a lagoon mouth to be continually open can be expensive, and a lagoon that is allowed to close may engender a unique set of species and environmental services. This study will use existing knowledge and gather new data to provide managers with the information they need to improve the health of this resource.
