southern california wetlands recovery project (SCWRP) The Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project (SCWRP) is an alliance united to acquire, restore and expand wetlands along the coast and in the coastal watersheds.
In 1998, both Republican and Democratic leaders in Sacramento made wetlands a priority and formed a 17 agency partnership entitled the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project. Under former Governor Pete Wilson, the State allotted $5.85 million to jumpstart 11 priority projects and designated the State Coastal Conservancy as the lead agency for the partnership. The now 19 agency partnership is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of leaders of each agency and chaired by the State Resources Agency Chairman. The area served by the partnership is five coastal counties: Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego. A Public Advisory Committee provides grassroots support and its method of operation is through a Managers’ Group, a Science Advisory Panel, and county Task Forces. Learn more about SCWRP:

The goal of the SCWRP is to accelerate the pace, the extent, and the effectiveness of coastal wetland restoration through development and implementation of a regional prioritization plan for the acquisition, restoration, and enhancement of Southern California’s coastal wetlands and watersheds. Ultimately, the SCWRP’s efforts will result in a long-term increase in the quantity and quality of the region’s wetlands.
