The project is located at Kendall Frost Marsh, Mission Bay. The Bay’s dredging project started in the 1920’s to create more land for recreational and commercial use. The marsh was once 4,000 acres and has downsized to 66 acres. Soon after, problems such as water and noise pollution began to appear. It became prevalent that the focus was mainly on public entertainment, rather than the preservation of the marsh and it’s the surrounding environment.
Master Plan Design Studies
Let Nature Be Self Sufficent
There is currently a fence dividing the Marsh and the community. Though residents are interested in knowing the marsh habitat, only UCSD has daily access. A healthy recovery of the existing is needed for the Marsh to expand. Recreational activities will be much further from the marsh to reduce disturbance to habitants and to improve water quality. Sustainable strategies in the new plan will make Mission Bay a healthier and enjoyable place to explore and observe. Facilities at the site would run activities like bird-watching and guided tours to allow the public to interact and learn about the Marsh.
