Abstract

The primary purposes of the Bolsa Chica Marsh Re-establishment Project are to preserve and restore coastal wetland resources while providing for diversity of compatible public use of the area. The objectives of our fish and bivalve study are: 1. Determine changes in the number of species of fish and bivalves before Phase I and during Phase I at Bolsa Chica Marsh. 2. Determine if California Department of Fish and Game's predicted benefits in Phase I were achieved by increases in fish species. 3. Determine influences of water management practices upon fish and bivalve composition. The objective to "determine if California Department of Fish and Game personnel's predicted benefits in Phase I were achieved by increases in fish species" could successfully be answered after the first collection of fish during Phase I. Sampling methods need to be refined. This will be an ongoing activity as this study progresses. The prognosis of successfully determining the study objectives is good. (15pp.)
