Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority
This website is the home for the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority’s (LCWA) conservation of wetlands in the East Long Beach and North Seal Beach area, straddling the border of Los Angeles County and Orange County in southern California. The conservation area of Los Cerritos Wetlands as identified by the LCWA comprises approximately 500 acres on both sides of the San Gabriel River. The LCWA is a joint powers authority made up of the State Coastal Conservancy, the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the cities of Long Beach and Seal Beach and currently owns approximately 170 acres of Los Cerritos Wetlands.
In addition to owning wetlands property, the LCWA has commissioned a Conceptual Restoration Plan of the conservation area, a final version of The Los Cerritos Wetlands Habitat Restoration Plan, certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project, and continues to host the Community–Based Stewardship Program in partnership with many local supporters, and encourages citizen–science and student–based research to further understand the precious coastal resource of Los Cerritos Wetlands. The public is encouraged to explore the website to stay up to date on the latest board meeting information, project documentation, stewardship information, and view public meeting recordings.
