On
January 23 we
watched intently as
a large back-hoe scooped
away a narrow dam
holding the waters
of the 45-acre tidal
basin dug out by Marathon
Construction crews
hired by Southern
California Edison
(SCE), thereby opening
an extensive new area
of the lagoon to the
ebb and flow of beneficial
tidal waters. This
landmark event heralded
major progress in
the San Dieguito River
Valley Joint Powers
Authority/ SCE efforts
to restore severely
degraded wetlands.
