2019: San Joaquin Marsh Named Wetland of Distinction
- Select Year: 2019
The international Society of Wetland Scientists in 2019 named the San Joaquin Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary one of just 32 in the nation to qualify for the organization’s “Wetlands of Distinction” honor. Candidates are judged based on biology, ecology, conservation status and public access for high-functioning wetlands. “This is a very prestigious recognition,” said General Manager Paul Cook. “It showcases the significant work that has been done by Irvine Ranch Water District to protect native plant and animal species, create a public oasis and educational center in the midst of an urban community, and to improve the quality of water that flows into the environmentally sensitive Upper Newport Bay.”
