Anyone visiting the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds this past summer may have noticed a lot of activity going on at the San Dieguito Lagoon, just to the south. Bulldozers and earth movers have been up to something – but have no fear, it isn’t another development. To the contrary! After nearly 2 decades of planning, negotiation, securing permits, and collaboration between private and governmental parties, a plan to restore the lagoon is finally under full sway.
Del Mar Racetrack and San Dieguito Lagoon
The project is being funded by Southern California Edison as part of a mitigation arrangement for damage done by the San Onofre Power Station. It includes opening up the plugged waterway to allow for flushing of the lagoon’s stagnant waters, creation of new tidal and intertidal habitats, and establishment of new nesting sites for numerous endangered species of birds. Fortunately, we lucky enough to live in Del Marand those enjoying a visit here are the beneficiaries. Already, we are seeing a major increase in the numbers and variety of wild and plant life. The lagoon is thriving!
