This will be a sight to see, hopefully that area will get the protection it needs to turn back to what it used to be. Could be great for creating more native habitat.

I am hoping that the company does not choose the cheap way to do this as opposed to the right way. With the company putting money into the trust, I hope the City of Oxnard keeps a close eye on their regulation for demolition.

A Fish Kill Summer

A Fish Kill Summer | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From piratelab.org - September 11, 2018 9:14 PM
Lots of fish have been dying these past many weeks across Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.  While nothing even remotely close to the craziness along Florida's east and west coasts, the large kills in our Ormond Beach and Malibu Lagoon waterways have nevertheless caused concern.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
This is a brief run down of some of the issues surrounding the fish kills we've seen of late in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.

Ormond Beach plan wows, but long road remains

Ormond Beach plan wows, but long road remains | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.vcstar.com - November 4, 2014 10:11 PM
It's only a concept, but gorgeous renderings show a possible UC research center near Ormond Beach recently inspired many at an Oxnard City Council meeting.
PIRatE Lab's insight:

From south Oxnard’s rugged coastline, wetlands give way to well-groomed agricultural fields ringed, crescent-moon style, by sleek buildings edging up to Hueneme Road.

 

Such a vision for a possible University of California research center was recently presented to the Oxnard City Council.

The conceptual plan, funded by the California State Coastal Conservancy, showed how the conservancy’s wetlands restoration effort at Ormond Beach could dovetail with a possible UC Agriculture Research and Education Center. Colorful maps and renderings filled wire-bound, glossy books made available to the public at the meeting.

 

The idea generated gushing praise along with a dose of cautious realism. UC, for starters, isn’t yet formally on board. Then there’s the problem of uniting diverse interests for a yearslong, massively expensive effort.
