Abstract
Ocean tidal action was permanently restored to Batiquitos Lagoon after three years of construction on December 7, 1996. The lagoon was restored as off-site mitigation to replace deepwater marine habitat disturbed by the construction of cargo terminals in outer Los Angeles Harbor. The project removed 1.15 million cubic meters of sand from the lagoon and deposited the sand on the beach as nourishment. The project provided habitat for fish, shore birds, and several rare and endangered species of birds and included the construction of two new bridges, two short jetties, 16 ha of nesting habitat, and 146 ha of subtidal and intertidal habitat.
