2024 Top Projects | San Dieguito Lagoon Wetland Restoration

Sept. 11, 2024
The wetlands in this project are a former agriculture site, so the project team had to find the best approach to repair damage caused by the agriculture practices and restore the wetland.

Tthe San Dieguito Lagoon Wetland Restoration project was set on restoring saltwater wetlands, which are situated on former agricultural land, enhancing and maintaining the natural flood control channel and developing new pedestrian trails.  The project is a complement to recent restoration efforts in the lagoon; encompasses 194 acres of land; and is part of the overall wetland strategy included in the Public Works Plan and Transportation and Resource Enhancement Program and the City of San Diego El Camino Real Bridge/Road Widening Project.
