SOL Phase 2 Intertidal Restoration

at the Del Mar Fairgrounds*

Del Mar, CA

---

The Del Mar Fairgrounds restoration project transforms a parking lot into an 13-acre salt marsh habitat. Prior to restoration implementation, the site was assessed and found to have excessively high levels of salinity that would inhibit successful habitat establishment. Strategies were developed in conjunction with scientific and construction staff to stockpile high quality site soil and the native seed-bank for re-use and mediate other project soil to reduce salinity.
