Public can review Topanga Lagoon restoration project
On Monday, July 22, the city of Malibu posted on its website that members of the community can review the proposed Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Topanga Lagoon Restoration Project from July 15 through August 13. The proposed FEIR identifies the range of closely related alternatives considered for the project, as well as the preferred alternative. The Topanga Lagoon Restoration Project is a multiagency cooperative effort by California State Parks, CalTrans, County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors and the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains to restore the Topanga Lagoon ecosystem. It is one of the last coastal wetlands in Southern California. The project aims to protect and restore precious biological and cultural resources, create an integrated program for coastal access, emergency response and interpretation, and proactively address the effects of sea level rise at the Topanga Lagoon ecosystem.
