Purpose

The University of California's Natural Reserve System was established to support the University of California's research, teaching missions, and public service programs. The site protects an important Southern California estuary which supports many sensitive plant and animal species. The reserve includes wetland and channel habitats, and lies adjacent to sandy beach, subtidal rocky reef, and kelp beds, providing habitat for migratory waterfowl as well as endangered plants and animals.
