The Estuary Partnership and Marin Audubon Society will enhance the habitat value of an important area of seasonal tidal marsh at Bahia Marsh in Marin County, over a three-year period. Work will focus on growing and planting 40,920 native plants, which will help establish upland transition zones adjacent to the existing tidal wetlands. This additional vegetation will contribute to a more ecologically complete and resilient wetland habitat attractive to the federally-listed, endangered California Clapper Rail and salt marsh harvest mouse, and other fauna. The seasonal and tidal wetlands, uplands, and transition zones will form an integrated network of habitats that provide for the needs of many species that depend on tidal marshes and surrounding ecosystems.
