- **Event Description**: 90% of Southern Calfornia coastal wetlands  were destroyed in the 1930s. The Malibu Lagoon has been restored. Come see!About this EventBack in the day when the Pacific Coast Highway was built, wetlands were treated as waste and filled in – effectively destroying the nurseries of many fish and bird species and ruining local water quality. A ballfield was built on top of part of what used to be the Malibu Lagoon. A small first restoration effort in the 1980s added in small islands, reducing water movement in the lagoon, leaving the lagoon nowhere near its historic size or ecosystem function.A bold plan was created to take out some of the fill that had shrunk the surface area of the lagoon and made it more shallow and to restore natural habitat at the site. Ultimtaely, the project would increase the size of the lagoon by 4 acres, restore more flow to the lagoon within the water and increase habitat both within the lagoon and in the surrounding environment. The process was carefully managed with over a hundred biologist coming in to volunteer so that when part of the lagoon was blocked off to allow removal of sediment, every fish was caught and monitored prior to the start of work and then promptly released when the water was restored on site.The end result is beautiful –habitat was improved both in quantity and quality, water quality was improved and the lagoon’s natural beauty shines and thrives.Come learn how the Malibu Lagoon Restoration came to pass – and learn how the Malibu Lagoon is functioning in 2025.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/cf809e10-c5e9-11f0-9e15-47c88bfad348-rimg-w1200-h640-dcd7dee7-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:00 AMEvent ScheduleInfo: Meet and greet other guests.
