A batch of endangered and long-legged birds have found a permanent home at the Kendall-Frost Mission Bay Marsh Reserve thanks to an effort to restore their population and the tidal wetlands in which they live.
75 years ago, Kendall-Frost Marsh was 4,000 acres of saltmarsh wetland filled with lush and tall vegetation like cordgrass and pickleweed -- the perfect foraging, breeding and nesting ground for populations of species, including the Ridgeway's Rail.Coastal habitat loss is the main reason for the Ridgway's Rail becoming endangered. Through their breeding program, the U.S.
"It's really great that we have the opportunity to have rails introduced to keep up our population but, of course, we want to see the wetland to be much, much, much bigger including Campland and even into Rose Creek," a spokesperson for ReWild Mission Bay said., led by the San Diego Audobon Society in partnership with UC San Diego, Living Coast Discovery Center and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department, is working to rebuild the wetland and pushing city leaders to join the effort.
"Kendall-Frost Marsh is an example of a small, remnant tidal wetland with many impacts from the surrounding human land uses which include predators such as house cats and racoons, light and noise pollution, and disconnection from the fresh water and sediment from Rose Creek," the USDFW said. By restoring the marshland, according to USDFW, people could benefit from cleaner water, protection from sea level rise and more diverse recreational activities.
