Inlet Dredging Los Peñasquitos Lagoon
Not only have we lost 90% of our wetlands along the Coast of California, the inlets to lagoons such as Los Peñasquitos Lagoon tend to get blocked by sand and cobble. This creates a stressful situation for plants and animals living in the lagoon and It also creates a health hazard to humans.
I am producing a short film for the Torrey Pines Associationthat takes a look at this issue and the periodic inlet dredging required to keep the lagoon tidal flushing and healthy.
