Waterbirds in a Changing Landscape:
Evaluating Avian Response to the West Coast’s Largest Tidal Marsh Restoration Project

• The 15,100 acre South Bay Salt Pond (SBSP) Restoration Project is in the process of restoring 50 to 90% of former salt production ponds to tidal marsh while maintaining the rest as foraging and roosting areas for migratory birds.
