Southwest Region

Return to Regional Map
Implementation Team

The Southwest team strategy focuses on the preservation and restoration of coastal wetlands. As much as 90 percent of California's native wetlands have disappeared due to urbanization and development. Another focus of the SWRIT is the restoration of closed military bases located along the coasts. The Monterey Bay Aquarium was designated as a Coastal Ecosystem Learning Center in 1997.
